Flipping the script that most e-bike builders are following, we decided to focus on what matters – the dynamic of trail riding – and placed an emphasis on light weight, refined suspension, crisp handling, and game-changing performance. Utilizing the latest in cutting edge drive unit and battery technology, the Shuttle SL rewards its rider with a huge weight reduction. It flat out rips on any terrain, providing the freedom and feel of Pivot’s best trail bikes, with unparalleled acceleration and climbing performance.
How light?
36.9lbs (sub-17kg), with 132mm of supremely refined dw-link rear suspension, full carbon fiber chassis, 60Nm FAZUA motor and a 430Wh battery. In other words, really damn light. This lack of mass was unimaginable in an e-mtb until now. The Shuttle SL is a solid 10lbs/4.5Kg lighter than most full power e-bikes, and about the same weight as most unassisted trail bikes. Designed from the ground up to enhance and accelerate every aspect of your trail riding experience, the Shuttle SL delivers an instantly familiar ride.
The Speed of Silence
A 60Nm FAZUA motor nestled in the downtube provides added punch to your ride, giving you the power to smash climbs and the pop for bigger moves, letting you ride farther, better, and faster everywhere. The motor and battery are situated low and close to the center of mass – a key aspect of the Shuttle SL’s dynamic handling. When the motor is not being called on to assist, it disengages completely from the rider’s inputs, resulting in a totally silent and smooth pedaling experience that doesn’t rob you of any wattage. This innovative power unit is fed by a compact 430Wh battery; there is no rival in the marketplace for the Shuttle SL’s combination of weight, power and range.
Defined and refined
Pivot’s proprietary carbon fiber construction is integral to the Shuttle SL’s light weight and taut handling. The dw-link suspension kinematics are perfectly adapted to provide plush compliance and efficient pedaling, lots of pop for dynamic riding, and enough progression to swallow big hits at high speed. We slackened the head angle back a touch compared to our Trail 429 and incorporated size-specific chainstays in order to retain consistent intuitive handling across the whole spectrum of rider heights.
Less and more
The Shuttle SL’s absence of mass makes possible a whole new way of riding trail; with four different ideal builds, there is plenty of room to interpret exactly how you want to take advantage of the Shuttle SL’s incredibly low weight; move swift and silent through the singletrack or stomp bigger lines and harder hits. Our range topping World Cup spec focuses on the lightest weight end of the spectrum, featuring a 140mm Fox 34 fork, DPS rear shock and carbon dropper post. The Team, Pro and Ride level build feature a 150mm Fox 36 fork and a Float X rear shock. However you choose to ride, the Shuttle SL gives you more of everything you love about mountain biking. More of everything except weight.

About Pivot Cycles
Unlike our bikes, culture cannot be engineered: it grows from within. When Chris Cocalis founded Pivot Cycles in 2007, he had a vision for a company committed to designing and building the world’s best performing bicycles. Engineers, designers, athletes, industry veterans, and storytellers joined him one by one. The Pivot Cycles vision became a shared vision, and the mutual desire to push the mountain biking performance envelope tied all of us together in a way that can only be described as, well, a family. As a company, we have our own list of family values, and it begins with “people”.
