Pivot Switchblade- Custom Build

Hey everyone, I had the amazing pleasure of chatting with Maya on our podcast a few weeks ago! She’s a business woman who does professional mountain bike wraps- Maya Papaya Wraps Bikes. Not only can she wrap bikes, but she also does helmets! A graphic artist by trade, Maya can create anything you want on your bike. If you want your bike wrapped with a creative twist, or just a clear coat wrap, be sure to hit her up! Check out our interview with her on spotify, or apple podcasts, and youtube below! 

Where she rides:  Maya rides mainly in Arkansas-the new MTB capital of the country! Her main style of riding is freeride, enduro. This bike handles everything she throws at it. Being a mullet set up makes the bike nible and easy to do jumps, flowly berms, and rooty terrain. 

Why she likes the Switchblade: Because if fits her perfectly! Being 5’2″ she needed a bike that would fit her and allow her to progress her riding to be able to do whips, long gap jumps, and enduro climbing. 

My recommendation: She recommends this bike to anyone who is wanting to level up their game and anyone who is struggling to find a bike in an XS. Don’t be intimated by the 29″ wheels, and demo any XS bikes if you can! 

If you have any questions for Maya directly, about her bike, or to get your bike wrapped by her, you can contact her via Instagram  @maya.papaya.mtb, or email her on: [email protected] & LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/mayapapayamtb
