Yes, internally routed dropper posts are compatible with the LES.

Variables in frame size, discrepancies in scale calibrations, and method of weighing (with or without pedals and such) all lead to inaccurate comparisons, so we choose not to publish our bike weights. Pivot bicycles are among the lightest available, but the weight is only one of many factors that make a great bicycle. Other aspects such as frame stiffness, strength, durability, and ride quality are just as important as weight to our engineers when designing our Hollow Core Carbon and aluminum frames. Instead of comparing grams online, we suggest you visit your local Pivot dealer and see our attention to detail, smart, high value spec, and class leading features. Bring a scale if you’d like, but take just one demo ride and you’ll feel why Pivot Cycles are the most well-rounded, highest performing bicycles on the market and in many cases, yes, it’s the lightest as well.

There are limitations that each dropper post have for each frame size based on the rider’s saddle height, so it is important to check fit before choosing the travel and model of dropper post for your LES. Use the Dropper Fit Guide under the Tech Specs section to help identify the right post length.

The LES uses Boost 148mm x 12mm hub/wheel spacing. This hub design has wider flanges, so you cannot change the end caps to convert an existing 135mm, 142mm, 150mm, or 157mm hub.

Yes, the Swinger II dropout system makes it easy to switch between geared and single speed set ups. The LES comes spec’d with alloy hardware and is set at a fixed location. The Swinger II adjustable hardware kit includes everything you need to make the system fully adjustable for single speed use or to simply adjust the chainstay length for increased tire and mud clearance.

On 29” wheels we recommend tires up to 2.3” with (up to) 28mm maximum inner width rims.

For 27.5″+ wheels you can use tires up to 2.8” with (up to) 40mm maximum inner width rims.

Rim width and tire manufacture sizing call outs and tire inconsistency can result in huge difference among both tire brands and individual tires. We suggest you check the fit with your chosen rim and tire combination to make sure it has proper clearance before riding

The LES will accept all cranks designed for the BOOST system and compatible with a Press Fit 92mm bottom bracket. BOOST system means that the rear hub spacing is 148mm and the chain-rings have been shifted out approximately 3mm from where a tradition crank designed for a 142mm rear hub would be so that the chainrings will line up properly with the new position of the cassette on the 148mm rear hub.

You can use non-Boost:

Race Face Next SL 1x cranks

Shimano XT and XTR 1×11 cranks (with 30t or 32t)

Shimano XT and XTR 2×11 cranks (with 24t/34t or 26t/36t)

There may be other 2x non-Boost cranksets available that will work, thought it will depend on the chainline and chainring size. If the chainline is not out far enough, the front derailleur clearance may be tight when shifting in to the small ring – the front derailleur mount has been shifted outwards to accommodate the Boost design.
