Bike Check: Léandre Bouchard’s Pivot Mach 429
Details on the Alma racer's new ride from the Pivot Cycles-OTE team
With five podium finishes in his last five starts, its fair to say Léandre Bouchard is getting on just fine with his new team bike.
The Alma, Que. racer moved to the Pivot Cycles-OTE team, based in his home province. With the new team colours comes new equipment. For 2019, Bouchard will be racing the Pivot Mach 429.
The cross country race bike gives Bouchard 100 mm of travel front and rear. Fox handles all the suspension, with a Float Factory out back and Factory 32 fork up front. Both can be locked out from the bars with Fox’s electronic lock-out system.
