But here\u2019s the thing, our new Trail 429 is that proverbial unicorn bike.<\/p>\n<p>This is the evolution of our most popular bike\u2014the Mach 429 Trail. It\u2019s just as fast on the gas as its predecessor, but even better when it comes time to tackle technical terrain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WRVwkI-0xr8?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Completely Redesigned Chassis<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-45260400-1526548606.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224334\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224334\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-45260400-1526548606.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-45260400-1526548606.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We took the original Mach 429 Trail, completely reshaped the chassis and gave the bike a truly progressive geometry. The new Trail 429 is even more capable on technical terrain than its predecessor yet doesn\u2019t sacrifice a thing in the quick and nimble departments.<\/p>\n<p>Effortless handling, incredible power transfer and blazing acceleration are what set the Trail 429 apart from so many other trail bikes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Entirely New and Progressive Geometry<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-61859300-1526548611.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224337\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224337\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-61859300-1526548611.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-61859300-1526548611.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We took the original Mach 429 Trail geometry and shortened the chainstays to make the Trail 429 even more agile in tight corners. Then we added a bit more stability to the mix by increasing the bike\u2019s reach and relaxing its head angle. Finally, we steepened the seat angle to provide an optimal climbing position.<\/p>\n<p>End result? The Trail 429 is calm and neutral on steep technical terrain, yet fun and flickable on the most twisted trails.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Still Lightweight. Even More Capable<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve also given the Trail 429 many of the same strength and stiffness-enhancing features that you\u2019ll find on our gravity-oriented bikes, including a double-wishbone rear triangle, Super Boost Plus rear axle spacing, ultra-wide suspension linkages and burly bearing assemblies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">29 or 27.5+\u2026 Choose Without Compromising<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-78966200-1526548603.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224333\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224333\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-78966200-1526548603.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-78966200-1526548603.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>29 or 27.5+? The Trail 429 not only lets you choose the right wheel and tire combo for your riding style, it does that without compromising geometry or handling. The Trail 429\u2019s Super Boost Plus rear spacing adds strength and stiffness to the wheels and chassis and enabled us to give the Trail 429 a short rear centre for nimble handling while providing outstanding tire clearance for both 29 and 27.5+ wheel and tire combinations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Top-Shelf Suspension<\/h2>\n<p>Dave Weagle\u2019s dw-link\u2122 design provides great traction and downhill control without adding energy-sucking suspension bob or \u201csquat\u201d. The Trail 429 sports 120 millimetres of dw-link\u00ae suspension, driven by custom-tuned, metric-sized Fox Float DPS (Dual Piston System) and DPX2 shocks. Up front, each Trail 429 is spearheaded by a 130mm-travel Fox 34 suspension fork.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-98538600-1526548608.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224336\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224336\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-98538600-1526548608.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-98538600-1526548608.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52578300-1526548614.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224339\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224339\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-52578300-1526548614.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52578300-1526548614.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-span-6\">\n<a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07031900-1526548613.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1224338\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1224338\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-07031900-1526548613.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07031900-1526548613.jpg\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-slate-100 p-5\">\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Find out more:<\/h2>\n<p>For more information about Pivot Cycles in South Africa, drop Get Stoked Distribution an email at info@getstoked.co.za or give them a call on 021 201 7399.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a saying that you can\u2019t be all things to all people.
