Pivot updates the Shuttle LT with Bosch’s Performance Line CX Race motor, a mixed-wheel setup, and refined suspension. We tested it long-term to see how it stacks up against the competition—and its own past version.
Dec 2024
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.

I find it ironic that my news feed is constantly presenting me with horror-stories about the potential dangers of AI. Yet, the feed itself is driven by AI. Maybe it’s trying to tell me that my days as bike test editor at MBR are numbered, and soon all bike reviews will be compiled by ChatGPT. Too late… I think some already are. But what’s this got to do with the Pivot Cycles Shuttle LT 29 Team XTR? Well, it’s blatantly obvious that the model name has been configured to satisfy a search engine, rather than provoking the desired emotional response in a living, breathing, human being. Best electric mountain bikes: reviewed and rated by experts On the plus side, it does give you a pretty good snapshot of the bike rather than a fuzzy feeling of wellbeing. Clearly it’s a full 29er, has XTR brakes and drivetrain and it’s long travel. How long? Well, the top end bike of two uses a 170mm Fox 38 Factory fork combined with a Float X shock to control the DW-Link rear suspension that pumps out 160mm travel on the money. In short, it’s a pedal assist version of the Firebird. Need to know Pedal assist version of Pivot’s popular Firebird enduro bike Full carbon frame and 29in wheels make it light and fast Shimano EP8 motor is paired with Darfon 756Wh battery to extend range Fox Factory suspension delivers 170mm up front with 10mm less on the rear Shimano XTR drivetrain and brakes make for a Gucci build Four frame sizes, with generous reach measurements and short seat tubes Also available with an SLX/XT build option for £10k Assistance comes in the form of a Shimano EP8 motor with its 85Nm torque and 500W peak power. Not as punchy as offerings from Bosch or Specialized, and already superseded by Shimano’s latest EP801 motor that boasts 600W peak power. What Shimano’s EP8 motor lacks in grunt though, it makes up for with gains in efficiency, as it’s noticeably less energy sapping when pushed past the 15.5mph assistance limit. Shimano’s e-bike batteries tend to deliver less range that equivalent units from second party suppliers, so Pivot has been smart in speccing a 756Wh battery from Darfon to boost the range of the Shuttle LT. It uses a custom charging port and the battery slides out the bottom of the down tube in a similar fashion to the Specialized Turbo Levo, Canyon Spectral:ON and Whyte E-160. Handy for aspiring racers, charging the battery indoors or simply razzing around in Boost mode with a spare battery in the car for round two. Which is the best e-bike motor? Power, punch and range compared Battery swaps couldn’t be more straightforward either. Simply undo the two bolts in front of the motor and the motor cover swings back to reveal a web of wires. Unplug the connector from the battery and it slides straight out. The Darfon battery weighs 4.02kg. To make the bike feel more dynamic, Pivot has …Continue reading »
Snappy handling. Great suspension. It takes a full-size water bottle. Battery swaps are a breeze. Fast everywhere
Shimano XTR brakes with Galfer rotors is not a winning combination. BB height could be a hair lower in the low setting. It’s expensive and doesn’t have the latest Shimano EP801 motor. Needs a higher rise bar

Commanding climbing performance
Plenty of ground clearance
Supple suspension
Neutral weight distribution
High speed performance
Lacks agility
Tyre compounds too hard and casings too thin
Perched feel slows down handling
