Pivot Cycles brings a bold new edge to the lightweight eMTB category with the launch of the Shuttle SL/AM…SLAM? – a carbon, trail-tuned, all-mountain machine that delivers uncompromising power, agility, and range. The brand has somehow married their Shuttle SL with its AM brother (don’t think too hard on that) to create the new SLAM – making it the SL version of the Shuttle AM, get it? 

Pivot Shuttle SL/AM

Pivot states that the bike is designed for riders who demand full-send performance with pedal-all-day efficiency, the Shuttle SL/AM changes the game.

The Shuttle SL/AM pairs 160mm of front travel with 150mm of DW‐link rear suspension, offering unmatched responsiveness across technical climbs, fast flow, and chunky descents. At its core is the next-gen Bosch Performance Line SX drive system, delivering 600W peak power and 55Nm torque for natural feeling assistance.

With a 400Wh integrated battery and an optional Bosch PowerMore 250Wh range extender for a total of 650Wh, it’s designed for big adventures for those who want to retain a purist mountain bike feel, with zero compromises.

Pivot have thought about the needs of their customers, offering upgrade options including carbon wheels, Fox Live Valve Neo shock and the Bosch PowerMore 250 Range extender.

The Shuttle SLAM will be available in three build kits, from $15,499 AUD to an eye-watering $22,999 for the Team XX Transmission build kit.

“It Rides Like It’s Reading Your Mind”

“This bike makes you feel like you’ve got a superpower,”  says Paz Chinchilla, Pivot Senior Graphic Designer and early tester.

“It climbs like a beast, floats through corners, and descends like it’s reading your mind. You forget it’s even an e-bike – until you’re halfway up a climb, grinning like a maniac.”
