PSA if you’re in the US and looking for a size Medium Pivot AMP’D

I’ve ridden some of the trails at White Tank outside of Phoenix, AZ, so I can understand how climbing and braking on steeps there would have a cheese grader effect on the center knobs. Especially with a powerful and heavy ebike. @Gila Man - I would have replaced that rear Albert 100 miles ago...

@Shamanic - you can position the stand at several places among the chainstays and seatstays. No clamping, it just rests on the clips whose positions can be independently adjusted. It shouldn’t cause any access issues. Here’s a pic that may help you see how the bike is supported -

I have a Park Tool stand in the garage for most service work, but I recently purchased this “Tune-Up Station” by Topeak for travel. It’s compact and lightweight and provides storage for a charger and tools in the base. You can adjust the height to hold the rear wheel off the ground and turn the...

Beautiful area, but some distance southeast of the Grand Canyon. I’d be “Surprised” if the big cats wandered down near you. 😉

@salko - I’m a bit surprised by your difficulty starting on a steep uphill. I don’t know the factory settings (or whether your demo bike had been changed), but you can adjust “Assisted Start” to five different response rates for each assist level. A fast response in Turbo should be enough if...

On the Pivot Shuttle AMP’d sold in the US you can scroll to the Settings page and set the speed limit to 20 or 28 mph. If you select 28 mph the screen displays a warning that this changes the bike from Class 1 to Class 3 and asks you to confirm your choice. When the bike is turned off the max...

We really like the “extra” power that the Avinox M2S motor can provide. You don’t have to use it, but it’s there when you want it. And it’s surprisingly well controlled. Mrs levity and I both have new Pivot Shuttle AMP’d bikes, and it’s a blast having torque available to clear objects we...

FC’s reviews are always good. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say after more time on both bikes. An issue he does not address is service and warranty support. I wonder how that will play out here in the US. I was considering the first version Amflow a while back, but my local...

Want an Avinox M2S bike now from a well supported US brand and shop? Pivot AMP’D 🤗

Life in the desert

Hey, maybe we can put together a complete bike! 😉

What are they so intently watching? Potential campsite intruders! They’re after our treats 😱

Mrs levity and I both went coil front and rear on our Pivot Ride models: Marzocchi Bomber ZR1 forks and Bomber CR in back. Love the planted feel as on our previous bikes.

180cm rider here who went from a Large gen2 Levo SL to a Medium Pivot AMP’d. I’d always ridden size Large mtbs (many brands), but after test riding Large and Medium AMP’d bikes I settled on a Medium. Riding them back to back the Large just felt truck like by comparison, and I recommend you demo...

The Avinox M2S can be programmed to give a linear assist to a selected level, a curvilinear assist between two chosen settings in Trail mode, or run in AUTO mode with a chosen maximal assist. The AUTO mode senses rider input and other variables like gradient and acceleration and feels the most...

My Google AI buddy says: “The 2026 Pivot Shuttle AMP'd features a 104 mm BCD chainring interface. [1, 2, 3] The e-bike is powered by the Avinox M2S drive unit, which utilizes an integrated 4-arm spider with a standard 104 BCD spacing. The complete factory builds ship stock with a 34T or 36T...

I have a 29 rear wheel on order for my Amp’d, so I can pass along my impressions in a couple of weeks. What I can say now after riding a variety of trails including now in the Moab/Canyonlsnds area is that the 27.5 rear is great for smoother conditions but is harsher on the ledges and...

Canyonlands area, Utah Mrs levity picked up her new bike one day before we left on a 3-week trip and had to use blue painter’s tape for RideWrap 😂
