2026 Pivot Firebird ride T-type

The most capable Firebird ever — at its most accessible price. The 2026 Pivot Firebird Ride T-Type 70/90 Air is the entry point into the sixth-generation Firebird platform, and it doesn't cut corners where it counts. Built around Pivot's proven full carbon DW-Link frame with 165mm of rear travel, it brings the same geometry, suspension architecture, and frame features as the top-tier builds — delivering world-class enduro performance at a real-world price.

The Fox Float X2 Performance Elite rear shock handles bump absorption with a precision that punches well above the Ride build tier, and a new suspension progressivity flip chip at the lower shock mount lets you toggle between progressive and linear curves to match your riding style and terrain. Up front, the Fox 38 Performance fork with Grip damper provides 170mm of confident, controlled travel, soaking up anything the trail can deliver.

SRAM Eagle T-Type 70/90 12-speed drivetrain keeps shifts crisp and reliable whether you're grinding the climb or pinning a descent, while SRAM DB8 four-piston hydraulic brakes deliver the stopping power you need when the terrain gets steep and technical. A Fox Transfer dropper post — size-specific by frame — keeps you planted on descents and efficient on climbs without compromise.

The frame is packed with rider-focused features: the Toolshed integrated downtube storage compartment (with two included pouches) keeps trail essentials secure and accessible, the patented Swinger Dropout System allows 8mm of chainstay length adjustment while remaining fully UDH and SRAM Transmission compatible, and the geometry flip chip in the upper linkage lets you fine-tune the head angle to suit your preferences. Available in 29" and Mullet (29" front / 27.5" rear) wheel configurations — XS sizes are Mullet only.
