The Pravia Marks Pivot's First Foray in to the Road Bike World
Key Points:
- Pivot Cycles has launched the Pravia, a new drop-bar road bike that complements its existing off-road and gravel offerings, marking the brand's full entry into the road bike market.
- The Pravia is designed as a WorldTour-level race bike with a focus on stiffness, aerodynamic shaping, and lightweight carbon construction, while also featuring geometry and compliance tailored for everyday riders.
- Key technical features include WorldTour-level bottom bracket stiffness with size-specific carbon layups, a stiff yet compliant tapered aero fork, a proprietary D-shaped seat post for aerodynamics and comfort, and generous tire clearance up to 38-40 mm.
- The bike offers a more approachable fit with increased stack height and reduced reach, along with practical elements like in-frame storage, hidden fender mounts, and an integrated aero bar-stem combo, making it suitable for both racing and long rides.
- The Pravia is available in three SRAM build levels ranging from $5,999 to $11,999 USD, all including power meters and 160-170 mm cranks, with framesets priced at $4,499; it supports Shimano Di2 electronic shifting but not mechanical groupsets.
