Pivot Brand World

From the beginning to the top of the bike industry: Since its founding in 2007 by Chris Cocalis in Phoenix, Arizona, Pivot Cycles has developed into one of the leading brands in the bicycle sector. Cocalis, who began his career in the bicycle business in the early 1980s, and his team have focused on innovation and quality from the very beginning. After selling his shares in Titus Cycles in 2006, a brand that he himself had built and established in the industry, he started a new chapter with Pivot Cycles.

Influential developments and key people: The founding of Pivot Cycles marked the beginning of an era of technological advances in the bicycle industry. With Kevin Tisue, Bill Kibler and the inventor of the DW-Link rear triangle, Dave Weagle, Pivot Cycles brought together a team known for their revolutionary ideas and designs. The choice of the DW Link system over the traditional Horst Link system reflects the company's desire to improve bicycle performance through innovative solutions.

What makes Pivot Cycles so special? By using the DW Link system, Pivot Cycles achieves outstanding performance on its full-suspension bikes. This technology offers better traction, less pedal kickback and greater frame stiffness compared to other systems. These technical advantages, combined with a high level of perfectionism in development and production, make every Pivot bike a unique masterpiece.

Pivot Cycles in racing: The quality and performance of Pivot bikes is confirmed not only by feedback from the community, but also by success in professional racing. Riders like Bernard Kerr and Ed Masters carry the brand onto winners' podiums around the world, underlining the competitiveness and high reputation of Pivot Cycles in the bike industry.
