I was talking to Pivot about the Switchblade and demand has so exceeded
production that they have been air shipping frames as soon as they are
available. It was going to be ~ another month before they'd have enough
inventory to supply demo bikes for reps and shops, ship larger batches of
frames, and also catch up on customer orders.
A great problem to have for sure but I know a lot of people would have loved
to throw a leg over either of the new models. I'd be surprised if Obsession:
Bikes and Kinetik didn't have demos once the new models are on their sales
floors if you're down in the city. I'm sure Pivot will have a bigger
compliment of test bikes next year.
The Firebird is brand new and they simply didn't have enough bikes ready.
