Summary

The Pivot Shuttle is a trail e-mountain bike that combines lightweight carbon construction with a full-suspension setup, designed for both climbing efficiency and downhill confidence. Its Shimano E8000 motor and DW-Link suspension are frequently praised for their performance, offering a ride that feels close to a traditional mountain bike with the added benefit of electric assist. While the bike excels in handling and suspension performance, some reviews note the extra weight affects maneuverability and the high price point may be a barrier for some riders.

Pros
  • Lightweight carbon fiber frame

  • Full-suspension setup with DW-Link for efficient climbing and sensitive descents

  • Shimano E8000 motor provides smooth and powerful pedal assist

  • Long, low, and slack geometry for stability and confidence

  • Excellent grip from burly Maxxis tires

Cons
  • Extra weight affects handling and maneuverability

  • High price point

  • Battery removal can be time-consuming

Key Quotes
Forget everything you knew about e-mountain bikes and get ready for the Shuttle.
Bicycling
Pivot have really got the Shuttle dialled in with a geometry setup that not only compliments the climb but allows for some real purpose on the descent.
Dirt Mountainbike logoDirt Mountainbike
One of the finest example of a EMTB to date that I’ve ridden. It’s a sublime, strong burly quiet frame, the cable routing is brilliant with no noise or slapping. Excellent, near perfect geometry.

Pivot Cycles Shuttle Review

Nov 2019

Price: $9999.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with an all Shimano setup, 140mm travel, large 27.5

Observations
  • A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with an all Shimano setup, 140mm travel, large 27.5" plus sized tubeless tires, dropper seat post, all while remaining lightweight

  • Shimano STePs E8000 drivetrain is powerful but compact, features hidden battery integration that stays secure via 8 hex bolts, and a protected minimalist display that adds to the purist feel

  • Durable Shimano XT derailleur with Shadow Plus clutch and electronic Di2 shifting, precise Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes with quad-piston calipers and large 203mm rotor in front with 180mm in the rear

  • Premium price, display can be difficult to reach and sometimes read, battery takes a while to remove and put back in, most will be charging on the bike only

Pivot Shuttle Team first ride review - MBR

Jul 2019 · Jamie Darlow

First ride review of the new Pivot Shuttle Team e-bike. Pivot reworks its Shuttle e-bike with more travel, lighter weight and a (slightly) lower price.

Highs
  • Super lightweight at around 20kg for the Team XTR build.

  • Smooth DW-Link suspension and Factory level Fox suspension.

  • Stunning full carbon frame and good Shimano power.

Lows
  • £9,000 is hugely expensive and the ‘cheaper’ Race version is still very pricey.

  • Couldn’t get full travel through the shock even with the correct sag.

The £9k Pivot Shuttle Review

Nov 2018 · Rob Hancill

Price£8999ModelPivot ShuttleMotorShimano E8000 A no compromise, sub 10% body fat trail ripper. This bike is an MMA fighter disguised as an EMTB. Brutally fast, ripped to the bone and packs a stinging punch to propel you forward with the excellent Shimano Steps E8000 motor. I first heard about the £8,999 Shuttle on EMTB Forums. I couldn’t quite believe how they’d achieved a sub 20KG package. Even the almost identically priced Specialized S-Works weight in at 21.8KG so it’s impressive that …
