A Revolutionary MTB Evolution

Lighter, and more capable than ever, the new Pivot Shuttle sets the bar for eMTB performance and fun.

Pivot Cycles introduces the new Shuttle – an updated superlight and ultra-capable full carbon frame, new spec, and two models with a new lower price option makes it the most advanced eMTB we’ve ever developed. New 29” wheels and a 160mm travel Fox 36  fork with 44mm offset takes the Shuttle’s legendary enduro performance to a new level. Updated spec makes the Shuttle one of the lightest eMTBs on the Market. The Team build comes in at just 44.75 pounds (20.29 KG) and the Race level is only 1.5 pounds (.68 KG) heavier.

Two new models built with the exact same full carbon Shuttle frame offer class leading eMTB performance. The Race XT level Shuttle features Shimano’s STEPS E7000 drive unit, an XT drivetrain and Performance level Fox suspension. Our Team XTR version has Shimano’s STEPS E-8000 drive unit, the new 12-speed XTR drivetrain and Factory level Fox suspension with Kashima coatings.

YOU TIMES TWO
Shimano’s mountain bike specific electric assist 250-watt drive unit system silently doubles the average rider’s output, so you ride harder, longer and on trails that previously seemed un-rideable. The Shuttle is so awesome you can even ride with it turned off and guess what? It still shreds. Hard. Just like our class-leading trail and enduro models. That’s because it’s essentially a rowdier version of our singletrack-loving Mach 5.5 trail bike with a whole lot of Firebird DNA mixed in. The Shuttle pedals exceptionally well. It carves the tightest corners. It absolutely rips technical descents. Now, turn on the Shuttle on and what do you get? You get the same awesome things—with the ability to ride a whole lot further. Epic rides get more epic. Heinous climbs stop being heinous. In a word, the Shuttle is rad. And a little extra battery power is icing on the cake.

eMTB WEIGHT MATTERS
Once you experience the Shuttle’s sub 45 pound weight, you quickly realize that lighter is better, way better. Every time you slow down, change direction, or get a little sendy and leave the ground – the fun part of riding – a Shuttle behaves just like a regular non-assisted bike. The lightweight Shuttle utilizes its high power-to-weight ratio to make accelerating and climbing faster (and easier). You know, the other parts of riding that make mountain biking so dynamic and incredibly fun.

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
The Shuttle is long and slack up front, short and snappy out back. We kept the center of gravity low and gave the Shuttle an even burlier version of the rear shock linkage featured on our long-travel bikes. Finally, we maximized frame and wheel stiffness with Super Boost Plus 157mm spacing. The end result? The Shuttle manages to be surprisingly nimble in tight conditions, is supremely confident on fast, chunky descents, and can scale ridiculously steep climbs with surefooted calm.

eMTB OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION
The same fork specs that make our enduro race models shred so hard gives the Shuttle next level feel and capability on the trail. This 44mm offset, 160mm travel Fox 36 fork adds high-speed stability, cornering ability, and overall performance on the most technical terrain. Go ahead - throw the longest, toughest descent at the Shuttle. You’ll experience nothing but fade-free performance and control thanks to the custom tuned Fox Float DPX2 shock’s added oil capacity and twin tube internal architecture. Add in the characteristics of Dave Weagle’s dw-link suspension, and you get best in class pedaling performance and traction – important traits when boosting up technical trail features. And of course, it absolutely sends it downhill giving its 140mm of wheel travel traction, support, and control any time the ride goes full enduro. And trust us… they will.

POWERED BY SHIMANO
Whether you choose our new Race version with the E7000 system or the Team model with the E8000, Shimano’s STEPS eMTB components deliver class-leading power, tunability, feel, and integration. Shimano’s STEPS systems provide a smooth, natural-feeling assist to your own pedal power. No awkward power lags. No annoying resistance in the drivetrain. We mount the compact, lightweight and powerful e-bike battery to a bottom-load full carbon tray of our own design. This carbon tray is a structural component enabling us to create the strongest and lightest frame possible. The Shuttle is easy to operate. Intuitive Shimano controls with a new ergonomic handlebar remote switch make fine-tuning your power output on the fly simple and seamless. Likewise, the Shuttle features externally-accessible charging ports for quick and effortless charging of your battery.

EVERY COMPONENT DELIVERS
The Shuttle comes in two build options so you can choose built to the hilt or high value - but either way, our smart specs deliver maximum performance. Custom DT Swiss 29er eMTB specific wheels with thirty percent stiffer Super Boost Plus axle spacing makes the Shuttle fast, nimble and durable. Shimano’s XTR 12-speed group, Fox Factory level suspension and Phoenix Team carbon components give the Team build the dreamy kind of performance that’ll never need an upgrade - simply because none exist. It is the best of the best. Our Race build delivers the same kind of performance and on the trail experience at a value price. Every part matters. On the Shuttle, every part delivers.
