Integrated Bottom Bracket:

Pivot is the first frame manufacturer to feature the 92mm wide bottom bracket shell standard originally developed in conjunction with Shimano XTR.  With the press fit 92 system, there are no external washers or threads in the shell. The bearings are housed in light composite resin cups with a full sealed sleeve to keep out the elements. This design allows for easy crank installation with no frame facing or special spacers required. Chain line is perfectly optimized and as an added plus, the bearings are extremely easy to replace. Another plus is that the XTR version includes a 3 year warranty from Shimano. The system works with Shimano, FSA and Race Face cranks (all compatible with the Shimano cup design) as well as the SRAM GXP system for which SRAM offers both standard and ceramic versions.  In addition, Enduro and several other aftermarket companies offer both replacement bottom brackets and/or bearings to support every major crank brand.
