Hello, for sale is My 2019 Pivot Switchblade Carbon 29er 11 speed XT/XTR Pro 1x just in time for spring!!
It hasn't been ridden much over the years. Turns out I enjoy cross country and gravel riding more than riding a full suspension mountain bike. Per Strava the bike has 178 miles on the clock. I paid north of $7k for bike and I'm asking $3,200 for it. It's pristine. Never raced and never crashed. It's a medium which should fit anyone from 5'6" to 5'10"
The only modification I made was swapping out the 28 tooth front ring for a 24 tooth ring and adding bar extensions. I have the 28 tooth ring.
I live near Poway if anyone wants to test ride the bike.
Please bring cash if you plan on test riding. :)
*FREE* 2004 Specialized Roubaix Pro frame. The frame includes the crank, rear derailleur and seat post.
**NOTE** I never had issues with the cable stop but Specialized released a safety bulletin.

Ride at your own risk. I will not assume any responsibility for this frame.
I pulled the following Pivot info from Grok:
The 2019 Pivot Switchblade is a versatile trail/enduro bike designed to handle a wide range of riding styles, from aggressive descents to efficient climbs. Here's a rundown of its key features based on its design and specs from that model year:
• Frame Material: Available in both carbon fiber and aluminum options. The carbon version uses Pivot's proprietary hollow-core molding tech for a lightweight yet stiff frame, while the aluminum model employs hydroformed tubing for durability at a lower cost. Both come with downtube, seatstay, and chainstay protection.
• Suspension: Features 135mm of rear travel with Pivot's DW-Link suspension system, designed by Dave Weagle. This setup offers efficient pedaling and a plush feel on descents. It's paired with a Fox Factory FLOAT DPX2 shock (or Performance DPS on some builds). Up front, it's equipped with a 150mm or 160mm Fox 36 fork (Factory or Performance, depending on the build), with a FIT4 or GRIP damper.
• Wheel Size Flexibility: Compatible with both 29-inch and 27.5+ wheels. It can handle up to 29" x 2.4" tires or 27.5" x 3.25" tires, giving riders options for speed or extra cushion. The frame includes a headset adjustment (two bearing cups) to tweak geometry slightly when switching wheel sizes.
• Geometry: Modern trail bike numbers for 2019—around a 66.5-67.25° head tube angle (depending on wheel size and setup), a 74.5° seat tube angle, and a reach of about 440-457mm on a medium. Chainstays are super short at 428-430mm, making it playful and nimble. It's got a 12x157mm Super Boost Plus rear spacing for added stiffness and tire clearance.
• Drivetrain: Offered in various builds, from 1x setups (like SRAM X01 Eagle or Shimano XT/XTR) to 2x options with a Shimano side-swing front derailleur. The Super Boost spacing allows for a proper chainline with wider tires and shorter chainstays.
• Components: Depending on the trim, you'd see parts like Phoenix Team carbon handlebars (760mm wide), DT Swiss wheels (XM1700 or M1700), and Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II tires (2.5"/2.4" for 29", wider for 27.5+). Brakes are typically Shimano XT or SRAM Guide.
• Other Features: Internal cable routing with Pivot's cable port system for a clean look and easy maintenance. It's got a press-fit 92mm bottom bracket, ISCG 05 tabs, and a 30.9mm seatpost diameter with internal dropper post routing. There's also a bottle cage mount and clearance for bigger tires.
• Weight: Around 6.4 lbs for a medium carbon frame (without shock), with complete bikes ranging from 29-33 lbs depending on build and wheel size.
• Intended Use: Billed as an all-mountain rig that can lean into enduro territory. It's poppy and responsive for jumps and trails but stable enough for rough descents, especially if you tweak it with a 160mm fork.
This was the second generation of the Switchblade (pre-2020 redesign), blending versatility with a focus on short chainstays and a stiff rear end. It's a bike that could do a bit of everything—climb well, shred descents, and adapt to different terrains with its wheel size options. Anything specific you're curious about with it?
