Pivot’s cross-country designs are the choice of top XC, short track and endurance racers around the world. Rose Grant, (Stan’s/Pivot Racing, 2x US National Marathon Champion), Mike Hall (2014, 2016 Tour Divide Winner and all-time record holder), Taylor Lideen (24-Hours in the Old Pueblo solo winner, NUE Series race winner) and Jason English (World Solo 24-Hour Champion) all choose Pivot’s LES.
When you purchase from Pro-Edge, you can rest assured that you will receive top-quality products at the best prices on the market. Whether you’re purchasing for your home or for commercial use, Pro-Edge has what you need for hardware, organization, DIY projects, and so much more! If the contact angle of each new stone, relative to the edge is not just about exactly equal to the angle and contact point of the previously used stone you may wind up with less than stellar results. While familiarizing myself with the Edgepro, I would get a great edge with one stone but wind up removing it with the next stone of higher grit.
We are proud to support our athletes on the international stage, from Rio to the World Cup to Endurance events around the globe. We shaved more than 50 grams from the original LES frame—a frame that was already a true featherweight.
Using leading-edge, carbon fiber and our proprietary hollow core, internal–mandrel process, our engineers created a frame that offers racers a best-in-class hardtail, tuned for the drive to the finish line.The LES 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 and a surprisingly forgiving ride quality that staves off fatigue and saves you energy on even the longest courses. 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.
The LES was designed for 100mm to 130mm fork travel. 130mm is the maximum travel length to be used on the LES. We use the new FOX 32 Step Cast 100mm fork in all our complete bike builds. This fork is a 29” race specific fork designed for 29” wheels with up to 2.3” tires and is NOT compatible with 27.5+ tires. If you are planning on using 27.5+ tires on your LES, we offer a FOX 34 X 120mm fork option that will allow clearance for 27.5+ tires up to 3” as will as 29” wheels with clearance for up to 2.4” tires.
Fast, precise and repeatable sharpening of almost any size or shape knife is easy with the Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening System. Polish Tapes includedThe Apex 4 kit comes with 2000 grit and 3000 grit Polish Tapes and mounting blanks not included in the Apex 2 and Apex 3 kits. These very fine grits leave a mirror fine finish. Keeps the angle constantThe biggest problem most sharpeners have when sharpening free hand on stones is keeping a constant angle.
The Edge Pro Sharpening Systems eliminate that worry. The smooth action of the guide ensures a consistent and accurate angle. No clampingUnlike other knife sharpening systems, the patented Knife Guide System on the Edge Pro Apex does not clamp the blade in place. This means you can sharpen any length or shape of blade up to 3 ½” wide, and set up is quick and easy.
Wide range of anglesThe guide is infinitely adjustable from 10° to 24°. Clean and efficient water stonesThe Edge Pro water stones give an excellent edge and free you from messy, gummed up oil stones. They’re long lasting as well. No additional base requiredThe Edge Pro Apex Model stands on its own, so there is no need to purchase a base separately.

You have a very informative and well laid out website and I learned a lot. It was a rainy Sunday and I watched every video and read through each article. The information you provided was very helpful in teaching technique and helping me decide what to buy.
Also your products are so well thought out, that no matter what stone you prefer (oil, water or diamond), there is a nice package available for a beginner. All of the products you put together each had their own advantages and believe me, each one spent some time in the shopping cart until I made my final decision.
