The Pivot Point Frame is a dedicated dirt jump and pump track hardtail, built for a specific kind of riding — quick transitions, precise landings, and repeated hard hits that would fatigue a lesser frame over time. Pivot builds the Point from double-butted chromoly steel, a material choice that's stuck around in dirt jump circles for a reason: it takes the abuse of park laps and hard landings without the fatigue concerns of a lighter alloy pushed to its limits. Geometry here is built entirely around control in the air and on transitions, not comfort on long rides. A 68.5-degree head tube angle keeps the front end slack enough for stability off jumps and lips, while a low bottom bracket drop keeps your center of gravity down for the kind of precise, planted handling dirt jumping demands. Pivot's own language for the Point sums up the intent directly: a slack head angle and low bottom bracket height built to ensure precise handling and a low center of gravity — exactly what you want when you're committing to a line at speed. The Point comes in one size, built to fit a wide range of riders from roughly 5 feet to 6-foot-4, which keeps things simple if you're building a dedicated park or pump track bike rather than chasing a size-specific trail fit. A tapered head tube, running 1.125 inches at the top and 1.5 inches at the bottom, keeps fork compatibility wide open, and the frame is designed around forks in the 100 to 120mm travel range, topping out at 130mm — enough travel to soak up jump landings without turning the bike into something built for long-travel trail riding. Build flexibility is where the Point earns its keep. Dropouts allow chainstay length adjustment from 385 to 400mm, which lets you dial in proper chain tension for a singlespeed build or run gears with a derailleur hanger, whichever your riding style calls for. A 50mm chainline and 172mm minimum Q-factor round out the details that matter once you're actually speccing a drivetrain, not just looking at a geometry chart. At $499 for the frame alone, the Point is an accessible way into a dedicated dirt jump and pump track platform — chromoly durability, slack geometry built for the discipline, and enough build flexibility to run it singlespeed or geared depending on how you ride. This is a frame for someone building a bike specifically for jump lines and pump tracks, not a trail bike doing double duty at the local dirt jumps.
