Normally when we fly to a destination in order to write up a series, like this one, for Singletracks, we get hooked up with a rental bike from a local shop for the week. These rentals have varied in quality over the years from low-end, clapped-out, 2-year-old bikes to brand-new, off-the-showroom-floor, not-yet-available-to-the-public wonder bikes. Canyon …

In our recent survey, the Pivot Mach 6 was voted one of the 5 best trail/enduro mountain bikes by Singletracks readers, which was no small feat given the competition from much larger companies like Santa Cruz, Specialized, and Giant.
