dw: I'm curious about that as well. Care to comment?
DW,
I am about to order Phoenix DH and have some questions, hope you can help. I am 5'11" and weigh around 176lbs, what frame size and spring rate would you recommend? I think medium should be fine.
I would also appreciate some reviews from current owners, are there any of them here?

Looks fantastic and I'm a fan of DW-Link. However this is a first year production run for the bike so there's a chance there may be some issues. Of course, it could be utterly perfect. Just buy it and keep a spare DH bike.
my question is, if you had an undead and loved it, why get rid of it?
I got a large, but it was a little small for me and I need something a little longer... and I also wanted to upgrade to 27.5" wheels.
i'm deciding between the new demo, the new v10, and the phoenix for my next bike...
The answer is...Turner?
not carbon or 27.5"... how can it even be considered?!? i need all the help i can get to go fast.
I read somewhere that it's not, it's aimed more for the shorter riders on smaller sized bikes that need to keep the seat slammed lower. It's blurbed about somewhere by one of the Pivot reps.Don't say nuthing bout no sizes.
Sounds essential.
And there is your 2014 / 2015 mtb industry in a nutshell.

Hey, you guys can go ahead and stay with "the old" science and technology all ya want... no ones twisting your arm to change. But yeah, it's totally cool and hip to disapprove of people who have money and means to upgrade their equipment every year, right?
Have you even ridden 27.5" wheels or do you both just want to hop on the bandwagon that change is not necessary and change is bad! Besides, if you couldn't catch the sarcasm in my post about carbon & 27.5", you need to spend more time on internet forums before replying on one.
Anyways, I heard back from Pivot dealers this frame won't be out until late January or early February...so I'll probably be riding a V10 by then anyways.
Not sure where that info originated from, but I just got word yesterday that they'll be shipping out to shops later this month.

I thought your comment was SPOT ON ... even though I knew you were making a joke.
I have ridden a 27.5 bike (and 29r as well) and I can say with confidence that the skies didn't open up and angels did not bestow a bounty of KOMs upon me. The trail frame I'm looking at now happens to be a 650b. In many cases, change is NOT "necessary". This wheel thing happens to be one of them.
I know a guy in SLC who already has his new Phoenix. I'd suggest you ask your dealer to double check before buying that V10, if the Pivot is what you'd prefer.
Sorry, that part of the response was more to the guy doing thumbs down on the 27.5" wheels.what the hell are you talking about???

I contacted the closest dealer to me listed on Pivot's web page... Thanks for the information!Not sure where that info originated from, but I just got word yesterday that they'll be shipping out to shops later this month. You may want to check again
I am undecided on the bikes...honestly I think that whichever 3 comes out first, I'd probably be happy with...for a year or so at least.
My my, a little testy are we?! I wasn't giving the thumbs down to the 650b wheels, but rather to calling them an upgrade. Yes I've ridden 650b bikes, and I can honestly say I don't find it is an upgrade over 26". They're different. But to label them an upgrade is what 'the man' wants you to say.
But maybe you were being sarcastic and I missed it...
