Rolling into the next round: Pivot Shuttle

It was quite a shock when a boutique brand like Pivot presented an e-mountainbike at Eurobike 2018. We have long since become accustomed to such conditions - and now Pivot is adapting its e-bike to the current situation. Namely with a larger battery with more convenient installation and removal, a more up-to-date motor and a lot of attention to detail.

Until now, there were six screws to operate, now there are just two bolts: battery removal and installation is much easier and faster on the Pivots Shuttle. New on board - the motorization is provided by the EP8 unit from Shimano - is a battery with 726 watt hours. Smaller batteries with 635 and 508 Wh are also compatible as an option, all of which can be charged on the bike or with the battery removed.

The 29er e-mountainbike with 140 millimeter travel continues to roll onto the rough trails with a DW-Link rear triangle, which is sprung and damped by a Fox Float X shock and a Fox E-MTB 36 fork. The Maxxis Assegai tires at the front and the Minion DHR tires at the rear should provide plenty of grip.
