Looking for an XS/S1 sized bike for my wife. The XS comes mullet, which shouldn't be an issue, but I'm just curious if anyone has any real world feedback on this specific size.
Anyone riding a Pivot Shuttle SL/AM in XS size?

My wife has one. It’s so far the best E for her 5’2” frame.
Her trail bike is a Yeti SB135 in XS and that frame is the one she uses to compare the geometry to in regards to all other bikes because it was the first frame she truly felt comfortable on reach wise. The SL/AM is very close in reach to the SB135. We did throw a 32 mm stem in it to make the reach just a little bit shorter and the 400 battery has plenty of range for every ride we’ve ridden so far.
The wheelset is ridiculously heavy! We got the “ride” spec as it was the only one available) so I don’t know if the pro or team models come specced with a lighter wheelset because the DT Hybrid wheels with a steel driver on a 60nm bike under a female who barely weighs 140lbs is waay too much. If you are looking at this bike I would definitely budget to immediately replace the wheels.
With carbon rims, DT 240 hubs, trail casing tires, carbon bars and XTR drive train the bike weighs 40.4lbs on our scale. The bike could be under 40 with lighter cranks and pedals.
If your wife is the same height and weight I know finding modern bikes, especially E bikes is a real challenge. Pivot definitely nailed it with this one.
