This is Enduro, Electrified
The Shuttle LT is enduro – unleashed, electrified and honed to perfection. It channels chaos and control through a long-travel chassis shaped by enduro’s cutting edge of design. It descends with precision that’s more surgical than savage, cutting through terrain with quiet authority and razor-sharp focus. This is enduro electrified, designed for disorder, engineered for the unruly.

GEOMETRY

Slacky McSteepTube™
Pivot's patent-pending system allows independent adjustment of the seat tube angle, a world's first. Fine-tune between: 78° for dominating long, sustained climbs and 76.5° for mixed terrain and constant ups/down. Lets riders tailor the Shuttle LT’s climbing position to their terrain and style.

Removable Battery
The Shuttle LT’s 800Wh battery isn’t just big, it’s fully removable. Riders can swap between batteries in seconds, charge off the bike and travel with ease, all without compromising frame stiffness or handling. It’s the freedom to go further, faster, with less downtime. The Shuttle LT is also compatible with Bosch’s 600Wh battery for riders seeking a lighter package, for shorter rides.

Floating Battery Technology
Rather than fixing the battery rigidly to the frame, Pivot uses two independent nylon-composite mounts that allow it to subtly rotate as the carbon frame flexes under load. This floating interface lets the frame move naturally through impacts and cornering, preserving compliance, durability and the ride feel Pivot is known for.

Suspension Progressivity Flip Chip
Adjustable progression via lower shock mount flip chip. Allows riders the ability to change the progressivity of the suspension curve. 0 - 100% of travel: 36.0% in progressive, 32.7% in linear. 30% (sag) to 90% of travel: 19.1% in progressive, 16.8% in linear

Adjustable Chainstay Length
Using our Swinger Dropout patent, we developed a chainstay length adjustment that is fully compatible with UDH and SRAM Transmission in either setting. Riders can choose between the short or long position, providing 8mm of rear-center adjustment while also tuning rear travel, with 162mm in the short setting and 165mm in the long.
The Latest Bosch Performance Drive System
Powered by the latest Bosch Performance drive system, the Shuttle LT features Bosch Performance CX and CX-R motors (Pro & Team) for class-leading performance. An 800Wh battery delivers confident range, with the option to add the Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender. The compact, bottle-shaped PowerMore adds 250Wh, weighs just 1.6 kg, and mounts easily to extend your ride without compromise.
The Pivot X Bosch Flow App
The Bosch x Pivot Cycles Flow app seamlessly connects riders to Bosch-powered e-bikes, offering access to all assist modes, including Turbo, eMTB-shortcrank, Sport, and the new eMTB+ mode. It also provides maintenance recommendations, a Pivot/Bosch dealer locator and real-time battery status with estimated range in one intuitive platform.
FOX LIVE VALVE NEO
Live Valve Neo adapts to the trail in real time, delivering optimized suspension settings for every moment. On the Shuttle LT, Fox Live Valve Neo enhances control on descents and maximizes efficiency on climbs. Available exclusively on Team builds with the Fox Live Valve Neo air shock, it delivers a calm, planted feel that lets you ride faster, smoother and with total confidence through rough terrain.

FAQS
Which size bike should I purchase?
To ensure the best sizing, we recommend that you visit your local Pivot dealer to get a professional fit and refer to our geometry chart to check your measurements. We can, however, provide a rough guideline to get you started. These recommendations are based on our experience, athlete preference and customer feedback:
Small: 5'4" – 5'9" | 163 cm – 175 cm
Medium: 5'9" – 6' | 173 cm – 183 cm
Large: 5'11" – 6'4" | 180 cm – 193 cm
X-Large: 6'2"– 6'7" | 188 cm – 200 cm
We suggest that you pick your Shuttle LT size based on your riding style. The Shuttle LT features enduro long and low geometry with shorter seat tube measurements per size – this geometry means that most riders can go up or down a size and should base their choice on riding-style, reach and stem length preferences. Be sure to also consult our dropper post fit guide when making your selection.
How do I set the sag on my bike?
We make it easy to get the best ride out of your Pivot bike with a simple sag indicator already installed on the shock. Watch how we set up suspension with Pivot’s Pro Garage Videos.
For more information on how to set up your Shuttle LT’s suspension check out our suspension setup calculator to get started. We also have a comprehensive suspension setup guide found in Tech Specs.
Is a range extender available for the Shuttle LT
Yes, Bosch has the PowerMore 250. This 250 Wh battery mounts to the frame and connects to the charging port on the frame. Weighing only 3.5 pounds this extends your range without a costly weight penalty.
We made our own charging port cover for the Shuttle LT with the range extender in mind. The cover can easily be removed when using the PowerMore 250 and replaced when you are not using the PowerMore 250.
What length cable do I need for the PowerMore 250?
There are two versions of the cable plug orientations. We use the version with the cable laid towards the battery holder. On size small and medium frames, we recommend a 150mm cable (EB12.120.036) and on size Large and XL frames a 100mm cable is recommended (EB12.120.035).
When on my ride should I connect the PowerMore250 Range Extender?
If you are planning a ride with a range extender, it is best to begin the ride with both the internal battery and the range extender fully charged and connected. This way all the cells balance through the ride, giving you the most power for the whole ride. If you add the range extender after your internal battery is drained, then you will not get full power from the system.
Why are there 4 bolts where a water bottle or range extender mount?
The spacing is setup for shock and water bottle clearance. The rear mounting position is best for a water bottle. The forward mounting is for the Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender.
How wide of a tire can I run on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT can use 27.5” rear wheels with tires up to 2.6” wide or 29” rear wheels with tires up to 2.5” wide. For tires we don’t spec, most will fit up to these dimensions. If you decide to change the tires or wheels that we have on our builds, we suggest you check the fit with your chosen rim and tire combination to make sure it has proper clearance. We recommend a minimum of 8mm of clearance between the tire and frame to account for tire roll and mud clearance.
What size rear wheel can I use on the Shuttle LT?
Shuttle LT can be used with 27.5” or 29” rear wheels.
What Rotors will fit on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT is designed for a 200mm rear rotor (203mm with washers). A 200/203mm rotor is the only size rotor that can be used on the rear. On the front, we spec the Shuttle LT with a 200mm front rotor. The fork can also accept a 223mm rotor with the proper adaptor.
What travel fork can I use on my Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT was designed for a 170mm fork. The maximum travel length that can be used on the Shuttle LT is 180mm travel.
What is the fork offset on the Shuttle LT?
44mm
What is the eye-to-eye shock length and stroke length on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT’s metric shock has a trunnion style upper mount, 205mm eye-to-eye length, and 65mm stroke.
If I want to run a different brand of shock on my Shuttle LT, what else do I need to know?
The Shuttle LT shock features a trunnion style upper mount and uses M8 through bolt hardware on the bottom mount. Shock spacer dimensions are 30mm wide on the bottom mount. We typically run medium valving on the compression side (depending on rider weight) and medium rebound damping.
What do I need to know about Fox Live Valve NEO?
The latest version of Fox Live Valve NEO was developed with the fastest wireless protocol. This allows the suspension to make adjustments faster than the rider can feel the terrain or switch a lever. You will always have the right support and traction when you need it. Pivot worked directly with Fox during the development process of Live Valve NEO. We tested various tunes and algorithms in different riding locations to get the tune perfected for each bike model.
How do volume spacers effect the suspension feel?
Larger volume spacers will resist bottoming, allow the bike to ride higher in the stroke and generally make the bike feel more “poppy”. If a rider is not getting full stroke or they feel that the bike is riding too high in its stroke, even with sag set properly, then they should go to a smaller volume spacer.
What volume spacers are used in the Shuttle LT shock builds?
The Shuttle LT X2 shock comes with 2 1cc volume spacers installed. The X2 uses 1 cc or 2cc volume spacers. For a more linear feel remove the spacers in the shock. If you want a more
progressive end stroke you can add 1cc or 2cc spacers up to the 14cc maximum. Please see the chart below for spacer P/N’s.
P/N Description
233-00-603 1cc Float X2 Green Volume Spacer
233-00-604 2cc Float X2 Blue Volume Spacer
The Shuttle LT Float X shock uses a .3 cu in volume spacer. The Shuttle LT’s Float X will fit volume spacers from none up to 0.8 cu in with 0.1cu inch increments. The Float X uses a primary volume spacer that comes in 0.2cu inch increments like normal, and you can also “piggyback” a small 0.1cu in spacer to make smaller adjustments. The shock can handle larger spacers for a more progressive feel or smaller spacers for a more linear feel. For a more linear feel, using between 0.1-0.2 cu in volume spacers can be installed. For a more progressive feel, using between 0.4-0.8 cu in volume spacer can be installed. 0.8 cu in is the maximum amount of volume spacers for this shock. Please see the chart below for spacer P/N’s.
P/N. Description
233-00-521 Volume Spacer: Float X 0.10in^3 Plastic, Mint
233-00-522 Volume Spacer: Float X 0.20in^3 Plastic, Tennis Ball
233-00-524 Volume Spacer: Float X 0.40in^3 Plastic, Teal

The Fox Podium 170mm fork comes stock with two 5cc spacers and can handle a maximum of 8 spacers.
P/N Description 800-11-254-KIT Podium Volume Spacer Kit
Can I put a coil-over shock on my Shuttle LT?
Yes, the Shuttle LT features a rising-rate design that functions well with coil-over shocks. We recommend the DHX Live Valve NEO for its best-in-class performance, reliability, and adjustability.
Please check all clearances prior to using any shock other than those spec’d or specifically recommended by Pivot. Your Shuttle LT will not be covered under warranty if damage occurs due to shock incompatibility.
What is the Geometry Flip Chip on the Shuttle LT and when would I want to use it?
The geometry flip chip is a simple way to adjust the geometry on your Shuttle LT. It allows you to either adjust the geometry for different trail conditions or handling characteristics with two positions.
With 29” wheels the “low” setting is perfect for riding fast, technical and steep terrain. However, if your preference is for a little more crank clearance and slightly quicker handling for tighter terrain with more climbing and/or roots and rocks, you may prefer the “high” setting. The high setting will raise the bottom bracket and steepen the head angle by 0.5 degrees giving the bike faster turn in.
We use the high setting for mixed wheels builds (29” front/27.5” rear). Although putting the flip chip in the low position will have the same effect of lowering the BB and slackening the angles by 0.5 degrees, most riders may find the BB too low for good pedaling clearance. If you want to use the low setting with mixed wheels you may want to add volume spacers to the shock as well as considering even shorter crank arms for more pedal clearance.
How do I use the progressivity flip chip on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT comes with the progressivity flip chip in the progressive setting. This being with the lower shock bolt in the rear position. This setting provides more ramp up and support at the end of the travel. This is the best position if running a coil shock as well. If you prefer a more consistent feel all the way through the travel and a more supple ride, then you may prefer the linear position. The more linear setting is with the chip flipped, so the shock bolt is in the forward position.
The progressivity chip has two positions. To change the setting, loosen the lower shock bolt until you can remove the flip chip on the non-drive side. Then back out the drive side flip chip too. Rotate both chips 180 degrees and reinsert into the frame. Torque the shock bolt to 13Nm. A step-by-step guide for this process can be found under Tech Specs.
How do I change chainstay length with the Swinger Dropout on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT has a two-position chainstay length adjustment with adjustable dropouts that gives you an adjustment of 8mm between the short and long positions. We used our patented Swinger Dropout to make this adjustment compatible with all drivetrains in both settings. Because this is such a significant change in geometry, you need a different chain length and setup between the two positions.
When changing between settings you will need to rotate the drive side Swinger dropout and non-drive side flip chip, flip the rear brake caliper bolts and bracket 180 degrees and setup your drivetrain for the new chainstay length. Check out the tech video in Pivot’s Pro Garage Videos or follow the steps in the Shuttle LT Frame Features Tech Doc.
What is the Slacky McSteepTube?
Our patent pending Slacky McSteepTube(TM) design lets you fine-tune your bike around the climbs and descents you live for. Set it at a properly steep 78 degrees to dominate the long, climbs in locations like Bellingham to the Swiss Alps, or use the 76.5 degree setting to conquer the constant up and downs terrain and unpredictable tech of places like Moab and Sedona. It’s personalization that goes beyond numbers, making the Shuttle LT an extension of you, shaped for your terrain and your riding style.
How do I use the Slacky McSteepTube Shuttle LT?
The seat tube insert can easily be changed between its two positions. With the post in the forward position you are at the steeper 78 degree position. With the post in the rear position it is 76.5 degrees.
Changing between the two settings requires removing the seatpost fixing bolt, raising your seatpost and the Slacky McSteepTube insert out of the frame to rotate it. The whole process is outlined in the Shuttle LT Product Manual found in Tech Specs.
Can I mount a chainguide on my Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT comes stock with an upper chainguide. It does not have ISCG tabs so after market chainguides will not fit on the Shuttle LT. The skid plate also extends below the chainring adding additional protection so that no bashring is required.
What kind of rear derailleur hanger does the Shuttle LT use?
The Shuttle LT uses the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for drivetrains that require a hanger. SRAM transmission builds mount directly to the frame in place of the hanger. This derailleur hanger is compatible with all derailleurs on the market that require a derailleur hanger. We spec this hanger because it has some clever derailleur saving features and is more likely to be found at any shop.
What rear axle does the Shuttle LT use?
The Shuttle LT uses an axle for 157mm rear spacing designed for the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard. The rear axle supplied with the frame is a Pivot specific design using a 12mm X 1.0mm thread pitch. SRAM also makes compatible 157mm UDH axles.
What hub/wheel spacing does the Shuttle LT use?
The Shuttle LT uses a 157mm rear hub spacing in a configuration called Super Boost Plus 157. Super Boost Plus 157 builds on the idea of wider flange spacing pioneered by Boost 148. Super Boost Plus spreads the flanges even wider (up to 14mm wider then a 142mm hub) and increases wheel stiffness substantially (Approximately 30% stiffer side to side than boost) - without affecting wheel compliance, which is a huge benefit on e-bike wheels.
What size seatpost does the Shuttle LT use?
The Shuttle LT frame uses a 31.6mm seatpost.
What is the maximum seatpost insertion depth on the Shuttle LT?
What is the maximum seatpost insertion depth on the Shuttle LT?
S – 280 mm
M – 300 mm
L – 320 mm
XL – 350 mm
What chainring sizes can I use on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT is spec’d with a 34t chainring. It can fit up to a 36t chainring.
What is the Shuttle LT’s rider weight limit?
330lbs (149kg) for the rider plus any payload or accessory such as a hydration pack. Also, note that maximum air pressure for the Shuttle LT’s rear shock is 350 PSI within the range needed to achieve proper sag settings up to the bike’s weight limit.
What ASTM Classification is the Shuttle LT?
In the 1 to 5 conditions of the ASTM guidelines, the Shuttle LT is classified for the riding conditions 1 through 4
How much does it weigh?
The lightest Shuttle LT builds are under 52 lbs (23.5 kg). Pivot bicycles are among the lightest available, but the weight is only one of many factors that make a great bicycle. Other aspects such as frame stiffness, strength, durability, and ride quality are just as important as weight to our engineers when designing the Shuttle LT. Instead of comparing grams, we suggest you visit your local Pivot dealer and see our attention to detail, smart, high-value spec, and class-leading features, but most of all the incredible performance of the new Shuttle LT. Bring a scale if you’d like, but take just one demo ride and you’ll feel why the Shuttle LT is the most well-rounded, highest performing e-bikes on the market and, yes, it is among the lightest as well.
What are the torque specs?
A detailed Small Parts Schematic with the torque specs can be found under the "Tech Specs" tab
What are the specs of the Bosch Performance Line CX and CX-R systems on the Shuttle LT?
The Performance Line CX-R drive unit, provides up to 100Nm of torque, and up to 750 Watt of power for a support of up to 400% and weighs just 6.0 lbs (2.7 kg). The CX-R drive unit features a titanium spindle and ceramic bearings. It also features the additional “Race” assist level.
All Shuttle LT builds feature the PowerTube 800 W/h battery that weighs 8.6lbs (3.9kg).
Where can I learn more about the Bosch Drive System?
Visit https://www.bosch-ebike.com/ for system safety information, operation instructions, range calculator and more.
Is there a smartphone app for the Bosch system on the Shuttle LT?
Yes, Pivot worked with Bosch to customize their eBike Flow app specific for your Shuttle AM. The eBike Flow App from Bosch can be found in your phone’s app store. Follow the app to install and connect it to your bike to use all its features.
How do I make sure my system is up to date?
Bosch often releases firmware updates to improve the system or add features. Updates can be done with your smartphone using the Bosch eBike Flow App. Your Pivot dealer can also perform updates for you with Bosch’s software.
Are there other display options for the Shuttle LT?
Yes, besides the Kiox 400C and System Controller that we offer with our builds, Bosch offers many display options for the Smart System. You can also use your smartphone as a display with the Bosch eBike Flow app. Contact your local Pivot dealer for compatible options.
Can I adjust the assist levels of the Shuttle LT?
Yes, you can easily customize your system to better fit your local trails or your range preferences. You can adjust individual mode settings using the Bosch Flow App on your smartphone. The system can have 4 different modes loaded on it, but there are more available from Bosch if you have different preferences.
The four modes that come loaded on Team & Pro build Shuttle LTs with CX-R drive units are:
TOUR+: Continuous support for energy saving rides and a natural riding sensation. This dynamic mode support level varies between Eco and Turbo.
EMTB+: Dynamic support right up to the limit – precisely controllable and with extra Extended Boost. This dynamic mode support level varies between Tour and Turbo.
TURBO: Maximum support even at a high cadence, for sport cycling.
RACE: *Only available on the CX-R drive unit. Uncompromising dynamics and maximum support from start to finish – for the toughest eMTB races. This mode is so powerful it can be unmanageable in most trail riding situations. We recommend getting comfortable with the bike in the lower power modes before using this powerful mode. With great power comes great responsibility!
The four modes that come loaded on Ride build Shuttle LTs are:
TOUR+: Continuous support for energy saving rides and a natural riding sensation. This dynamic mode support level varies between Eco and Turbo.
EMTB: Optimal support whatever the terrain, rapid acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dynamics and top performance. This dynamic mode support level varies between Tour and Turbo.
EMTB+: Dynamic support right up to the limit – precisely controllable and with extra Extended Boost. This dynamic mode support level varies between Tour and Turbo.
TURBO: Maximum support even at a high cadence, for sport cycling.
If you would like to use different modes that are not loaded on your bike you can replace them with other available modes. Using the Bosch E-Bike Flow App you can load these additional modes:
ECO: Effective support with maximum efficiency, for maximum range.
TOUR: Steady support, long range touring.
SPORT: Optimal support whatever the terrain, rapid acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dynamics and top performance.
AUTO: Automatic adjustment of support in the event of a drop in speed due to climbs or sudden headwinds. This dynamic mode adjusts assist to maintain your speed with assist rather than you adjusting cadence, gears or modes.
Can I remove the battery if I need to charge it off the bike?
The Shuttle LT battery is designed to easily be removed from the frame. For regular charging you can use the charging port on the frame. If you would like to remove the battery refer to the Shuttle LT Product Manual in the Tech Docs for removal and installation instructions.
Where is the Speed Sensor on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT features the Bosch rim magnet speed sensor mounted to the rear wheel’s valve stem. This is sensed as it rotates past the motor. Make sure if you change wheels or get a flat on the trail to mount the magnet back on the valve stem or the system will not provide assist.
*You will need at least a 40mm long valve stem for the rim magnet.
What is the Q factor of the cranks on the CX drive unit used on the Shuttle LT?
The cranks used on the Shuttle LT have a 176mm q-factor which is similar to a standard XT or Race Face trail bike crank on an analog bike.
How do I set up the SRAM Eagle AXS Transmission on my Shuttle LT?
SRAM AXS Transmission has a unique installation process that you must follow to set up this drivetrain on your Shuttle LT properly.
The compete installation instructions can be found at https://www.sram.com/en/service/browse-by-product
Refer to SRAM’s chain length calculator for the proper setup information and chain sizing: https://axs.sram.com/guides/chain/calculator
Are the components of the Bosch Performance Line CX System waterproof?
All components and parts of the Bosch CX system are protected against the ingress of moisture and dust according to IP55. This means that the system is protected from water splashing from any angle but is not rated for high pressure spray or immersion.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?
It can take up to 5 hours to recharge the battery from being completely dead. In our experience, it’s hard to completely drain that battery and a battery with some charge tends to charge faster. Even with 1 bar left, charge time usually not more than 3.5 hours.
How far can I go, or what is the range of the Shuttle LT?
There is no single answer to this question—it really depends on how much you are asking of the battery and drive unit during your ride. If you do your entire ride in the most powerful pedal-assist mode you’ll demand more energy from the battery than if you are operating the bike in less powerful (Eco or Tour) modes. Bosch has an advanced range calculator on their website that will help you estimate your range based on many factors you may encounter on your ride.
Here’s our own experience: In our several years of testing this system, we’ve found that most of our rides involve shifting between the different modes—Turbo winds up providing more power than you want on descents, flats or (unless you are completely bonked) even rolling terrain. Accordingly, when we start our rides with a fully-charged battery showing five energy bars on the display, we can routinely finish a 2 to 3-hour ride with 1 or 2 energy bars still showing on the display. If you were riding in strictly Tour or Eco mode, you can complete even longer days in the saddle on a single charge. A rider on a technical ride with a fair amount of climbing that switches between Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo as the terrain varies can do a 4 hour ride which is quite the adventure for most riders. If you use the PowerMore 250 range extender then you can easily have even more range!
Tip: You can use the Bosch eBike Flow App to adjust the assist of your modes in real-time. If you are worried you may run out of power by the end of your ride, you can lower the assistance to be more efficent and keep from exhausting the battery before the end of your ride.
How many times can you recharge the battery before you have to replace it?
All rechargeable batteries gradually store less power with each recharge. The Shuttle LT’s battery unit is designed to provide 1,000 recharges before it reaches the point at which replacing the battery is advised. At that point, the battery will hold 60% of its capacity vs. when new.
What should I do if I am not going to ride my Shuttle LT for a long period of time?
If you live somewhere without a winter riding season, or you are not going to ride your Shuttle LT for a few months you will want to store your bike in a dry, preferably room temperature place. It is best for the battery to be stored at ~60% charge. If you don’t ride it for a few months, it is a good idea to check the state of charge and keep it around 60%.
Who do I contact if I have questions or issues with the Bosch System or Bosch Flow App?
The best place to start is your local Pivot dealer. They can help you with system diagnostics and reports. Your Pivot Dealer will also be able to handle warranty claims if any arise. Bosch has a wealth of information available on their website and a contact form if you don’t see what you are looking for.

If my drive unit breaks, is my local bike shop going to be able to repair it?
Drive units are completely sealed in order to keep the electronics and mechanical pieces perfectly clean year after year. Like most Bosch components, it has a 2 year warranty. If something mechanical were to fail after that point, the solution would be to contact Bosch for repair or replacement of the drive unit.
Does the Shuttle LT have a throttle?
No, the Shuttle LT doesn’t have a throttle. Instead, it’s a Class 1 pedal-assist style e-bike. In other words, the Shuttle LT’s 250-watt electric drive unit assists your own pedaling effort. You can choose between four different pedal-assisting power modes while riding (Eco, Tour, EMTB/Sport, and Turbo) and you can change from one to the other by using a thumb shifter that’s a lot like a typical gear shifter.
How fast can I go on the Shuttle LT?
The Shuttle LT’s motor no longer assists once you reach your country’s legal limit (20mph in US, 25 kph in EU specification)—at that point, it’s like you’re riding a regular mountain bike. To maintain a more natural ride feel the power tapers off before reaching the limit. It will still assist up to the limit but the “push” may not be felt close to the maximum legal limit. As with any mountain bike, your downhill speed is a function of your riding skill, trail conditions and the design of the trail system you happen to be riding.
Can I use an aftermarket link from a third party on my Shuttle LT?
No. Any aftermarket linkage not approved by Pivot immediately voids the frame warranty for any issue that could occur related to these aftermarket parts.
