Carbon Frame and DW-Link Suspension
At the heart of the Trail 429 is a lightweight carbon frame paired with Pivot's DW-Link suspension platform. The design is intended to provide efficient pedaling while maintaining active suspension performance when riding over uneven terrain.
The Trail 429's frame uses a more progressive suspension layout and is designed around 120 mm of rear wheel travel. Combined with the 130 mm fork, it provides enough suspension capacity for technical trail riding without turning the bike into an overly long-travel machine.
FOX 34 Front Suspension
The front of the bike is equipped with a FOX Performance 34 29-inch fork featuring GRIP damping and 130 mm of travel.
The 34 mm chassis provides a useful balance of stiffness and weight for trail riding, while the 130 mm travel complements the Trail 429's rear suspension.
Fork Specifications
Model: FOX Performance 34
Wheel size: 29 inches
Damper: GRIP
Travel: 130 mm
Spring type: Air
FOX Factory DPS Rear Shock
The rear suspension uses a FOX Factory DPS shock with a 165 × 45 mm shock size in the documented Ride SLX/XT configuration. It works with the DW-Link suspension system to provide 120 mm of rear-wheel travel.
The DPS platform is designed to provide efficient pedaling while retaining controlled suspension movement when the trail gets rough.
Trail-Focused Geometry
The Trail 429 combines a relatively slack head angle with a steep effective seat angle to balance descending stability and climbing position.
The documented geometry includes a 66.5° head angle, 75.5° seat angle, and 430 mm chainstays. The frame also incorporates a flip-chip that allows riders to fine-tune the geometry toward a more aggressive or more efficient setup.
Geometry Highlights
Head tube angle: 66.5°
Effective seat tube angle: 75.5°
Chainstay length: 430 mm
Bottom bracket height: 347 mm
Bottom bracket drop: 27 mm
Wheel size: 29 inches
Frame sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL
Shimano SLX/XT 12-Speed Drivetrain
The Ride SLX/XT build uses a combination of Shimano SLX and XT components.
An XT M8100 SGS rear derailleur handles shifting across the 12-speed cassette, while the SLX M7100 I-SPEC EV shifter provides handlebar-mounted control. The Race Face Ride 32T crankset is paired with a wide-range 10-51T Shimano SLX cassette.
This gearing provides a broad range for steep climbs while retaining enough high-end gearing for faster trail sections.

Shifter: Shimano SLX M7100 I-SPEC EV, 12-speed
Crankset: Race Face Ride, 32T

Shimano SLX Four-Piston Brakes
The bike is equipped with Shimano SLX M7120 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes.
Four-piston calipers provide strong and controllable braking for steep descents and technical trails. The documented build uses 180 mm Shimano SLX six-bolt rotors.
DT Swiss M1900 29-Inch Wheels
The Ride SLX/XT uses a DT Swiss M1900 wheelset with DT Swiss 370 hubs.
The 30 mm wheel width works well with the bike's 2.4-inch trail tires and provides a suitable platform for a tubeless setup. The wheel system uses 15 × 110 mm front and 12 × 157 mm SuperBoost rear spacing.
Wheel Specifications
Wheel size: 29 inches
Wheelset: DT Swiss M1900
Rim width: 30 mm
Front hub spacing: 15 × 110 mm
Rear hub spacing: 12 × 157 mm SuperBoost
Maxxis Dissector Tires
The bike comes equipped with Maxxis Dissector 29 × 2.4-inch WT tires using the TR, 3C, EXO, MaxxTerra specification in the documented build.
The tire combination is designed for trail riding, offering a balance of rolling efficiency, cornering grip, and durability.
The frame provides clearance for tires up to approximately 29 × 2.6 inches, giving riders room to adjust tire volume and traction according to their preferred setup.
Dropper Seatpost
The Trail 429 includes a dropper post, allowing the rider to lower the saddle from the handlebar when descending or navigating technical terrain.
Travel varies according to frame size:
| Frame Size | Documented Dropper Travel |
|---|---|
| XS | 125 mm |
| S | 150 mm |
| M | 175 mm |
| L | 180–210 mm |
| XL | 180–210 mm |
The documented Ride SLX/XT build uses FOX Transfer Performance Elite on XS, M, and larger sizes, with SDG Tellis listed for the Small configuration. Component availability can vary by production batch.
Trail-Oriented Cockpit
The cockpit combines a Phoenix Race Low Rise Aluminum 780 mm handlebar with a Phoenix Team Enduro/Trail stem.
The size-specific stem lengths help accommodate the Trail 429's different frame sizes while maintaining the intended handling characteristics. The bike is also fitted with Phoenix Factory Lock-On grips and a Phoenix WTB Volt Race saddle.

Practical Frame Features

Water Bottle Compatibility
The main frame provides room for a full-size water bottle, allowing riders to carry hydration without relying entirely on a backpack or hydration pack.
Flip-Chip Adjustment
The flip-chip allows the geometry to be adjusted toward either a more aggressive trail setup or a more efficient ride feel, giving the rider additional control over the bike's handling characteristics.
Tire Clearance
The frame accommodates tires up to approximately 29 × 2.6 inches, providing flexibility for riders who want additional tire volume and traction.
