FEATURES:

• Toolshed In-Frame Storage: The new Pivot Toolshed in-frame storage system keeps your essentials securely tucked away, reducing clutter and providing quick, easy access for all your trail adventures, from short rides to longer excursions. Designed to be completely rattle-free, it ensures your gear stays silent and secure, even on the roughest terrain. The Toolshed™ door is a work of engineering art with the easiest to use and  most secure latching system on the market. An integrated magnet on the inside of the door holds quick links for fast and easy access. Strap your favorite tool or accessory to the inside of the door using the integrated strap loop (strap not included). Each Trailcat includes two Toolshed™ bags, designed to carry a spare inner tube, essential tools and even a bit of extra space for a snack. 
• Pivot Dock Tool System: Pivot’s exclusive on-the-bike tool system created in collaboration with Topeak. Unweight hydration packs by strategically locating essential repair items under either the top tube or BB.
• DW-Link: The dw-link suspension design maximizes traction and pedal efficiency on every climb, all while maintaining a plush, bottomless feel when charging through chunky descents. dw-link suspension enables the Trailcat SL to pedal like an XC bike and descend better than any 120mm bike has a right to while the Trailcat LT pedals like a short travel trailbike and descends with the capability of an enduro race bike.
• Flip Chip Adjustability: “Low” and “High” settings on the Pivot Flip Chip allow riders to easily configure geometry or adjust for different wheel sizes. The high BB setting will raise the bottom bracket and steepen the head angle by 0.5 degree or allow for the use of a 27.5” rear wheel making all sizes of both the Trailcat SL and Trailcat LT mixed wheel compatible. 
• Proprietary Ride Tuning: Independent strength to weight analysis for each frame achieves consistent performance metrics. Custom-tuned carbon scales stiffness across all sizes, ensuring optimal ride characteristics for all rider profiles
