Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this bike has the Fox Factory FLOATX model, with a travel of 142mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Switchblade Pro XT/XTR model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.

Dropper post
The Pivot model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
