A solid all-round descender (64.3° head angle, 140mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

EMTB Forums verdict
The 2023 Pivot Shuttle AM was the brand's original full-power eMTB, built around a full-carbon hollow-core chassis with Pivot's dw-link suspension giving 140mm of rear travel through a metric Fox shock, matched to a 160mm Fox 38 fork. Power came from a Shimano EP8 (DU-EP800) drive unit rated at 85Nm, fed by a 726Wh battery with a two-bolt release system, and the frame was also compatible with smaller 635Wh and 508Wh packs.
The bike ran modern all-mountain numbers across four sizes: a 64.3 degree head angle, a 74.0 degree effective seat angle, 441mm chainstays and reach growing from 420mm on the Small to 485mm on the XL, with 29in wheels front and rear and Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II rubber. The premium Team XTR build paired Fox Factory 38 GRIP2 and Float X suspension with a full Shimano XTR transmission and brakes, DT Swiss EB 1535 wheels, a Fox Transfer Factory dropper and a Pivot Pro E-Bike saddle, listed in the UK at 12,400 pounds in Treeline Green.
This model is discontinued. In 2023 Pivot replaced it with an all-new Shuttle AM built on the Bosch Performance Line CX (and limited-edition CX Race) platform, with a 750Wh battery and a 148mm-travel dw-link rear end, ending the Shimano EP8 era for this model.

Geometry read
What the numbers mean on the trail
Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.
Size
Playfulness
64
A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.
Size balance
95
Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.80) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.
Technical climbing
66
Climbs well — a 74° seat keeps the front planted. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.
No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.
The numbers are well balanced for its category.

“Jumping on the band wagon here. I got the XO package with the T-Type drivetrain, an upgraded X2 shock, and 200mm seatpost for my long legs. I'm really enjoying the bike. The suspension is a little more "lively" than my old Heckler.…”
