Summary
The Pivot Shuttle SL is a lightweight, agile trail e-MTB that excels in technical climbs and offers dynamic handling, making it a standout in its category. Its DW-Link suspension system provides efficient pedaling and good traction, though some riders may find its 132mm rear travel limiting on rougher trails. The bike's Fazua motor and integrated battery deliver a natural ride feel with impressive range, but the non-removable battery and unique motor tune may be drawbacks for some.
Lightweight and agile handling
Excellent climber with efficient DW-Link suspension
Natural ride feel with Fazua motor and good range
Non-removable battery
132mm rear travel may limit rough trail performance
Unique motor tune can decrease battery range
The Pivot Shuttle SL is perhaps the best descender of the 150mm travel emtbs we’ve tested.

The Pivot Shuttle SL, ideal for climbing with agile geometry and ample torque even in lower output modes, excels in tackling technical climbs and tight switchbacks, albeit with a slightly less composed feel on descents compared to enduro-focused pedal assist bikes, offering adjustable tuning to balance increased assistance with battery range.
Very light given its 430 Wh battery
Best in class for technical climbs
Agile and responsive geometry makes bike feel even lighter than it is
Unique motor tune (which can be changed) decreases battery range in most settings
Quickly reaches its intended limits on high speed, technical descents

The Pivot Shuttle comes in three flavours, but the LT version is the hard-hitting, 160mm rear travel, mixed-wheeled ripper. With dialled geometry, a pretty reasonable spec and excellent ride characteristics, it has a confidence-inspiring ride. Cornering, braking and high-speed trails are handled with little dramatics whilst the climbing is dispatched with comfort and plenty of traction. It isn’t perfect and the eye-watering price makes it hard to justify it as good value for money but the performance on offer is top-tier and certainly worth trying out if this fits your budget.

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
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.
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.

The 2025 Pivot Shuttle LT is a full-powered eMTB that rolls on MX wheels and offers a competitively low weight.

It is safe to say that the Pivot Shuttle LT is still an exceptional all-rounder eBike especially thanks to the EP801 motor upgrade.

The Shuttle SL represents the Arizona-based brands debut entry into the increasingly popular ‘Super Light’ e-MTB category and ever since it was first unveiled late last year this bike certainly has been grabbing a lot of attention thanks to its striking appearance combined with a very impressive list of performance stats. This is a bike that we were extremely excited to get our hands on for review here at the mag due to the fact that we are big fans […]
