Merging featherweight agility with full-throttle power, the SL/AM unlocks a whole new way to move through the mountains. If you thought you knew what an e-bike could be, think again.

The ultra-sleek chassis houses a Bosch Performance Line SX drive system, pumping out 600 watts of peak power and up to 55Nm of torque with a seamless, natural-feeling boost. Backed by a fully integrated 400Wh battery, and optional 250Wh Bosch PowerMore range extender, The Shuttle SL/AM offers ride-all-day capability.

    “This bike makes you feel like you’ve got a superpower,” says Paz Chinchilla, Pivot Senior Graphic Designer & the Shuttle SL/AM’s #1 Fan. “It climbs like a beast, floats through corners, and descends like it’s reading your mind. The best part? You forget it’s even an e-bike—until you’re halfway up a climb grinning like a maniac.” 

    The Shuttle SL/AM rolls on 29” wheels in sizes Small through XL, while the all-new XS frame features a dedicated mixed-wheel (MX) setup—delivering big-bike performance and dialed handling for smaller riders without compromise. Minimal weight. Maximum fun. With the Shuttle SL/AM, you get the handling and ride feel of a traditional all-mountain bike, plus the power to make every ride longer, faster and just flat-out better.
