Summary

The Pivot Shuttle AM is a high-performance trail eMTB praised for its neutral suspension, stellar Bosch Performance CX Race motor, and DW-link suspension system that offers ample support and control. Its geometry and handling make it easy to ride straight out of the box, though it comes with a hefty price tag and some minor drawbacks like internal cable rattle and the need for tougher tires in technical terrain.

Pros
  • Neutral suspension deals with terrain without complaint

  • Middle of the road geometry makes it easy to get on and ride

  • Top-end motor's performance is stellar

  • DW-link suspension system offers ample support and control

  • Highly exclusive Bosch Performance CX Race motor

Cons
  • Hugely expensive

  • Would benefit from having tougher tyres for techy terrain

  • No internal frame storage

  • Internally routed hoses rattle in the frame

  • Front wheel needs to be weighted through open corners to prevent it from washing out

Electric Bike Report
Pivot Shuttle AM Review | The All-Mountain Gold Standard?

Nov 2024 · Griffin Hales

The Pivot Shuttle AM makes a serious case for the title of best all-mountain eMTB with a well-balanced approach. It has power, agility, and performance in spades. The all-mountain eMTB category has many impressive options to sort through, but Pivot went swinging for the fences with the design of the Shuttle AM. One quick look

Highs
  • Top-tier motor performance. Our tester’s Bosch Performance Line CX Race edition is light, intuitive, and powerful. You can feel the 400% multiplier at work, but we also like that it can be customized to fit your riding preferences.

  • It is extremely versatile for different types of riding. It climbs well and handles descents nicely. It comes stock with 29” wheels F/R, but it can be run as a mullet and has some geo adjustability with the flip chip design.

  • The handling characteristics feel well-balanced. The bike feels lighter than you’d expect for 50 lbs, and that weight is great for a 750Wh battery.

  • The suspension works well. The 148/160 setup feels stiff for climbing efficiency, but it feels soft and comfortable on downhills.

  • The SRAM AXS shifter is really cool tech that compliments the motor nicely. Shift when you want to, and the system guides the derailleur through the shift nearly seamlessly, even under load.

  • We liked the frame design. The carbon frame looks good and keeps things light, but the overall geo and sizing keep the rider comfortable on a fairly lively riding experience.

  • A lot of great components: Fox 36 Factory, Fox Float X, Shimano XT M8120, etc.

Lows
  • We hope to see carbon wheels in the $10-11k build range, but they aren’t included until you hit the $14k build on this model.

Pivot Shuttle AM Pro SRAM X0 first ride review - MBR

Aug 2023 · Christopher Sutcliffe

Pivot has dropped this inbetweener AM model into the Shuttle range. Carrying the 'all-mountain' tag, it promises to split the difference between the lightweight SL and hard-hitting LT.

Highs
  • Sleek design with sublime handling and suspension. Makes you question why anyone would want an MX wheel set-up

Lows
  • There’s no ignoring the price. Depending on where and how you ride, it probably needs a Double Down casing rear tyre. Standard rattle from the Bosch motor when coasting.
