The Shadowcat arrived in 2021 as Pivot's uncompromising celebration of the 27.5" wheel — a counter-argument to the industry-wide shift to 29". While most brands moved to larger hoops, Pivot doubled down on 650b for riders who prioritise technical precision, playful handling, and quick-turning aggression over straight-line roll speed. With 140 mm of DW-link travel and a 160 mm fork, it sits squarely in the trail-enduro overlap, aimed at riders who love tight singletrack and technical features.
