Pivot Shuttle SL/AM Team XX Eagle Transmission

Suspension runs through Pivot's dw-link design, tuned here for a bike meant to climb efficiently and still hold a line through rough, technical descents. The Fox Factory 36 fork uses a 44mm offset and GRIP X2 damper, while the rear shock is a Fox Factory Float X on sizes S through XL (the XS gets a Float without the X, tuned around that frame's lighter rider weight range). Notably, the XS also runs a mixed-wheel setup — a 29-inch front paired with a 27.5-inch rear — the first time Pivot has offered MX wheels on this platform, aimed at giving smaller riders the same handling and confidence as the 29-inch builds without stretching them into a cockpit that doesn't fit.

The motor is Bosch's Performance Line SX, the lightest and most compact unit Bosch has built, delivering up to 600 watts of peak power and 55Nm of torque from a 400Wh in-frame battery. This build adds the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender — a 250Wh unit shaped like a water bottle that mounts to the frame's bottle-cage bosses and adds about 3.3 pounds, extending range on longer days without the bulk of a bigger internal battery. The Bosch x Pivot Flow app connects to the system and gives you seven ride modes, including Turbo, Sport, Tour+, eMTB-shortcrank, and a Race mode unlocked on Team-level builds like this one, along with maintenance reminders and real-time range estimates.
