Pivot Les

Pivot may be renowned for their suspension bikes, but the cleverly named ‘Pivot Les’ may change this perception. The Les is a carbon hardtail that converts easily between geared and single-speed setups using their tidy looking ‘Swinger’ adjustable dropouts. Full carbon construction and carbon dropouts keep the claimed frame weight down to 1,150g. While that’s not amazingly light for a carbon hardtail, it is impressive for a frame that offers single speed compatibility (frames with eccentric bottom brackets tend to be a good deal heavier). Fully internal cable routing keeps the Les looking clean and the frame should sell for around $2,149.
