Pivot Cycles LES 27.5 Race XT - 2021

Wickedly Fast. Ridiculously Fun.
Our line of LES hardtails has been ridden to victory in professional races around the world. The LES 27.5 is a hardtail aficionado's dream machine. Our latest addition to the LES line-up features an ultra-light chassis with BMX-like handling and the rollover advantage of bigger wheels, all in a snappy, fast-accelerating package that fits a wide range of riders.

World Cup Performance for Every Size of Rider
The LES 27.5 brings uncompromising performance to riders from 4'10" to 6'1". The LES 27.5 is a revelation of optimized geometry, stand-over clearance, weight, and ride tuning. By including sizes Small and Extra-Small in the range, we've got a LES model to properly fit every size rider who seeks bigger wheel performance. Size-specific carbon molds enable us to use smaller diameters and unique carbon layups to build lighter frames that maintain the same high strength in a more compact frame design. The more compact frame design of the LES 27.5 also makes it possible to build a sub-19.4lb (8.79kg) race bike—an advantage for everyone, but even more so for small riders seeking the best power to weight ratio.

The New Standard in Hardtail Performance
The lightweight LES 27.5 sets a new standard for stiffness and power transfer. Marshaling our proprietary hollow core, internal–mandrel process, and a custom layup incorporating new, high-modulus carbon fibers, we've created a ride-tuned hardtail that transfers your every watt into pure speed.

The LES 27.5 features an oversized, box-section downtube and bottom bracket area, stiffness-enhancing Boost 110 and 148 front and rear spacing, as well as meticulously engineered seat and chainstays. Out on the course, those features add up to amazing power transfer, razor-sharp handling, and a surprisingly forgiving ride quality that staves off fatigue and saves you energy on even the longest courses.
