BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Pivot Shuttle AM. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
13 reasons to buy
- There are five builds across three tiers (Ride, Pro, Team). Each build is available with a 250Wh range extender.
- The top builds in the Pro and Team tiers have FOX’s Float X Live Valve Neo wireless shocks.
- Experts praise the power and acceleration provided by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor (Ride, Pro), calling it one of the best motors on the market.
- The Shuttle AM Team builds have the even more powerful, limited-edition CX Race motor, with peak assistance of 400%. Experts say this motor’s extended, tapered overrun is particularly helpful in techie sections.
- Weighing from 49 to 52lb (3.3lb extra with the range extender), the Shuttle AM is lightweight for a full-power e-MTB.
- Testers relish the Shuttle AM’s exceptional climbing performance up steep chutes and long technical ascents.
- Experts say the 148mm DW-link rear suspension, paired with the FOX Float X shock (Pro X0 Eagle Transmission, Team XX Eagle Transmission), provides solid pedaling support uphill and plush compliance on descents.
- Reviewers praise the Shuttle AM’s agility and responsive steering, with one tester naming it the “cornering king” in a comparison of 27 e-MTBs.
- Geometry changes and mixed-wheel conversion are easy, thanks to the Shuttle AM’s captive flip-chip.
- Experts compliment the bike’s clean design, thanks to its internally routed cables, vertical shock orientation, compact drive system, and sleek frame.
- Testers of the Team builds (724Wh battery) report riding 24 to 29 miles with 2,400 to 4,300 feet of elevation gain using max assist.
- Reviewers find the upright riding position comfortable for long rides, but some riders may prefer a more aggressive position for tackling gnar.
- Experts laud the outstanding trail performance of the FOX Factory 36 fork with GRIP X2 damper (Pro and Team builds).
7 reasons not to buy
- The bike’s lightweight design comes at the cost of a non-removable battery. Experts lament having to move the entire bike close to a power source for charging.
- Reviewers find the Bosch motors noisy.
- Testers complain of cables rattling inside the frame.
- Experts say the Maxxis EXO+ tire casing is too lightweight for the Shuttle AM, especially at the rear.
- Unlike other premium e-bike systems, Bosch still doesn’t allow connections to computer head units, so riders can’t monitor stats this way.
- The optional 250Wh range extender occupies the single bottle-cage mount.
- Only 500 units of the top-tier Team XX Eagle Transmission Neo build are available.
Bottom line
Pivot’s Shuttle AM is a Bosch-powered trail e-MTB available in four sizes and five builds. All builds have FOX suspension. Ride and Pro builds have an 85Nm Performance Line CX motor. Team builds have the CX Race motor and top-tier suspension. Only some of the Pro and Team builds are tested. Experts praise the bike's agility, cornering, low weight, and ability to ascend challenging climbs. Complaints are minor but include rattling internal cables, a slightly noisy motor, and thin tire casings. Overall, reviewers applaud the Shuttle AM's versatility, calling it fun, lively, and arguably the best all-mountain, mid-travel e-MTB.Expert Reviews
