Leave it to Eddie Masters to keep things fun. Tasked with showcasing the new Firebird 29, Eddie pulled out all the stops with this lighthearted video intro. Featuring 162mm of travel out back and 170mm up front, this rig is designed to "crush climbs, slay descents," and look good while doing it. The Firebird 29 pushes things in an even more aggressive direction for Pivot, and, as we've come to expect of their bikes, all of the little details are dialed.
