Our carbon frames are what make a Pivot the best bike in the world. Before mountain biking dominated the off-road cycling radar a young Chris Cocalis was constantly snapping BMX bottom brackets.

Patenting his bottom bracket design under the logo “Snake Cycles,” the seeds of the future Pivot Cycles were planted when Chris was a freshman accounting major at Arizona State University.
