Bring speed and versatility to your gravel quest with the all-new Vault. Massive tire clearance, pro-caliber power transfer, and ride tuned frame compliance come together for the fastest thing to ever hit backcountry roads. Patent pending ISO FLEX technology lets you fine tune your ride and comfortably lay down the watts over the roughest washboard. Say “Hello” to the new realm of the multi-dimensional drop bar road bike. Say “Hello” to the all-new Vault.
Throwing Stones
Gravel, road, or cross, the all-new Pivot Vault checks all the boxes with massive tire clearance, tight 420mm seatstays, and an ultra-light race tuned Hollow Core Carbon frame. Progressive new school geometry excels on variable road surfaces, race courses, and any time a ride turns into an adventure. Tuned tube shapes and carbon layups tame the roughest roads and washboard for a stable and smooth ride hour after hour.
Custom Tuned Rider Comfort
Take control of your comfort level with Pivot’s Patent pending ISO FLEX technology. This innovative seatpost system isolates the seatpost from the frame for the ultimate in rider comfort while maintaining race-level torsional frame stiffness. In minutes, you can swap insert sizes too. Choose 27.2mm for maximum seatpost deflection and comfort or go 30.9mm for dropper post applications. The Vault’s ISO FLEX seat tube design brings comfort to unforgiving dropper seatposts – even on the roughest roads, you get to have your cake and eat it too.
Endless Drop Bar Possibilities
With generous tire clearance thanks to dual dropped chainstays, the Vault is a tire change away from being ready for any ride on any surface. Throw on some 25c’s and ultralight aero wheels for a road race or mount a set of cross specific tires for that sloppy cyclocross race. Bikepacking or a raw, primitive gravel route on the agenda? Throw on some 45c’s or a set of high volume 650b’s for an even smoother ride and total control.
Ultimate Versatility
A Vault will take you farther than you’ve ever dared push before, so we added top tube bag bosses to fuel your ride. Hidden fender mounts go unnoticed until they’re needed – then, the Vault morphs into a high-performance commuter or winter training steed. Not only did we make the front derailleur mount incredibly stiff for perfect 2x shifting, we also made it removable for 1x drivetrains, and its integrated cover virtually disappears with ultra-clean lines. The Vault is optimized for all the drivetrains, has all the mounts, fits all the tires, and has all the performance for gravel racing and much, much more.
The Vault is available now, in all sizes, at key Pivot Dealers worldwide in two color options—Slate Blue and Sandstorm. It is available as a frameset, and a complete bike in two configurations: The Vault Ultegra costs $5,199 USD while the Vault Force with eTap AXS retails at $6,699 USD.
