Pivot Shuttle SL/AM Team XX Eagle Transmission Bike

The Pivot Shuttle SL/AM Team XX Eagle Transmission Bike is built around a single premise: an e-bike that weighs what a trail bike weighs and handles like one too. Pivot's carbon frame tips the scales at under 40 pounds — roughly nine pounds lighter than the Shuttle AM with the same components — powered by the Bosch Performance Line SX, the lightest and most compact motor Bosch makes. The SX delivers up to 600 watts of peak power and 55Nm of torque with a feel that rewards a higher cadence and blends into your pedal stroke rather than overwhelming it. A 400Wh in-frame battery keeps the profile clean, with a sealed charging port that can be swapped out to accept the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender — 250Wh in a water bottle-shaped package weighing 3.3 lbs — for longer, bigger days. The Pivot x Bosch Flow app manages seven assist modes including Race mode, exclusive to Team-level builds.

The frame runs Pivot's dw-link suspension with 150mm of rear travel, shock-tuned using the same map as the non-assist Switchblade. That's not incidental — it means the suspension is calibrated to respond to terrain, not just manage motor torque. The Team build pairs this with a Fox Factory Float X rear shock and a Fox Factory 36 fork at 160mm of travel with GRIP X2 damper and 44mm offset. Geometry is identical to the Shuttle AM: a 64.1° head tube angle and 76.5° seat tube angle in the low flip chip position, with a size large reach of 476mm and 444mm chainstays across all sizes. A flip chip on sizes S through XL allows a 27.5" rear wheel for a lower mullet setup, or 29" for the steeper, taller configuration — the same frame covers both without compromise.

The Team XX drivetrain starts with SRAM XX AXS Eagle Transmission — fully wireless, cable-free shifting across a 10-52T cassette mounted to a Praxis Carbon eCrank at 34T. Reynolds Blacklabel Trail Pro wheels with Industry Nine hubs run 32mm internal width and carry Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.5 WT EXO+ MAXXTERRA front and DHR2 29x2.4 WT EXO+ MAXXTERRA rear — a tire pairing matched to everything from loose loam to wet rock. SRAM Motive Ultimate 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm HS2 Centerlock rotors provide the stopping force the bike's speed potential demands. The Phoenix Race Low Rise carbon handlebar, Phoenix Team stem, and Fox Transfer Factory dropper complete a cockpit built for aggressive, technical riding.

Design Benefits

1. Bosch Performance Line SX — Power Without the Weight Penalty — The SX is Bosch's lightest motor, and it's the reason the Shuttle SL/AM can credibly claim under-40-pound status. The 600-watt peak and 55Nm torque figure are strong, but the character is what matters: the SX works best at a natural cadence and fades into the background at high effort levels, making the bike feel more like a very fast trail bike than a motorized one. The 400Wh in-frame battery suits most trail days, and the sealed charging port swaps out cleanly to accept the PowerMore 250 extender. Race mode, accessible only on Team builds through the Bosch Flow app, gives riders one more level of assist at the top end of the power range.
2. dw-link Suspension With Switchblade Tuning — Pivot runs the same dw-link suspension design across their full-suspension lineup, and on the Shuttle SL/AM the Fox Factory Float X shock is tuned to the same spec as the non-assist Switchblade. This is meaningful: the suspension works as designed regardless of whether the motor is in use, delivering genuine small-bump compliance and mid-stroke support rather than a tune compensating for added system weight. Paired with the Fox Factory 36 GRIP X2 at 160mm, the platform is well-matched to the technical, high-speed descending the SL/AM's geometry is designed for.
3. SRAM XX Eagle Transmission and Reynolds Blacklabel Wheels — SRAM's XX AXS Eagle Transmission is fully wireless and clutchless — no derailleur cable, no b-tension, no hanger alignment drift. The 10-52T cassette gives you a genuine climbing gear for steep, technical ascents under any assist level. Reynolds Blacklabel Trail Pro wheels with Industry Nine hubs are a meaningful upgrade over typical eMTB wheel spec: stiff, light, and built to absorb repeated impacts. The 32mm internal width runs the Maxxis DHF/DHR2 MAXXTERRA tires efficiently, providing a predictable traction profile across the full range of all-mountain conditions. SRAM Motive Ultimate 4-piston brakes with 200mm rotors have the modulation and power to match.

Final Take

At $12,999, the Pivot Shuttle SL/AM Team XX Eagle Transmission is a coherent build from top to bottom — Bosch's lightest motor, SRAM's top-tier wireless drivetrain, Reynolds carbon wheels, and Fox Factory suspension on a carbon frame tuned to ride like a trail bike first and an e-bike second. For the rider who wants motorized assistance without surrendering handling precision, playfulness, or the ability to actually throw the bike around on trail, the Shuttle SL/AM Team is where the lightweight eMTB category currently peaks.
