Riding the Pivot Trail 429

All the info on Pivot’s Trail 429 can be found here: https://jenson.sjv.io/PivotTrail429JKW Any purchases from that link- or the following- will directly help support my channel, and it’s a big part of how I’m able to make all these videos. Thanks everyone!

Ah yes- the sale price Orbea Rise e-bikes? See them here: https://jenson.sjv.io/OrbeaRiseJKW

I also compare the Trail 429 to the Ibis Ripley: https://jenson.sjv.io/IbisRipleyJKW

I used a WolfTooth GeoShift headset: https://jenson.sjv.io/GeoShiftHeadsetJKW
And a higher rise PNW Loam handlebar: https://jenson.sjv.io/PNWLoamBarJKW
Along with a shorter stem, and some 170mm Shimano XT cranks.

HUGE thanks to Endura for their support! In the summer months, I use the Singletrack Short: https://jenson.sjv.io/EnduraSingletra... along with the https://jenson.sjv.io/EnduraSingletra....

BIG thanks to Shimano for sponsoring my channel: https://jenson.sjv.io/ShimanoMTBjkw I rode ALL these bikes set up with Shimano brakes and drivetrains- even if that meant completely rebuilding the bike from the ground up. While the competitors make great stuff too, I always end up feeling most confident on a bike when using the parts to which I am most accustomed. Thanks Shimano!

BIG THANKS to both Logan and Reilly for their help with this!
