01
Origin
The Shuttle AM represents Pivot's full-power e-MTB — where the Shuttle SL prioritises light weight, the AM prioritises sustained power and range for riders who want maximum motor assistance. Launched with the 2024 update, Pivot switched to Bosch's Gen 5 Performance CX system, bringing 85–100 Nm of torque and an 800 Wh battery (expandable to 1050 Wh with the PowerMore add-on). The DW-link platform runs the same 148 mm geometry across motor and non-motor variants, keeping the handling character consistent.
