    Pivot Cycles has raised the bar with the introduction of the new Shuttle LT. Designed for riders who thrive on gravity-defying downhill runs and crave long, all-day adventures, this long-travel eMTB is engineered to dominate every aspect of the trail.

With its cutting-edge suspension, Bosch Performance CX Race Limited Edition motor, and sleek aesthetic, the Shuttle LT is the ideal companion for tackling any terrain, from technical descents to demanding climbs.

    At the core of the Shuttle LT’s performance is the Bosch Performance CX Race Limited Edition drive unit – Bosch’s lightest and most powerful motor. With a 750Wh battery that’s expandable to 1000Wh using the PowerMore range extender, this eMTB gives you the freedom to explore new loops and push further than ever before. The Shuttle LT’s power, paired with its efficient pedaling platform, ensures you conquer climbs effortlessly while maintaining the energy to enjoy the descent.

    “The Shuttle LT is the ultimate evolution of our Firebird in e-bike form,” says Kevin Tisue, Director of Engineering at Pivot Cycles. “From its suspension kinematics to the seamless integration of Bosch’s most advanced drive unit, we’ve engineered this bike to perform flawlessly, no matter where the ride takes you.”

    Built around 160mm of dw-link rear suspension travel and a 170mm Fox 38 fork up front, the Shuttle LT provides the perfect combination of control and confidence. Whether you’re smashing through rock gardens or floating over drops, the bike’s suspension system ensures maximum traction and stability. Combined with the aggressive mixed-wheel setup and Continental Kryptotal Soft Compound Enduro tires, the Shuttle LT inspires you to push your limits and ride with precision through any challenge.

    LEVA-EU member, bicycle manufacturer Pivot Cycles (USA) introduces Andreas Knodel as its European Subsidiary leader

    Before entering the bicycle industry, managing director Andreas Knodel worked in management and personnel consulting for 18 years. Now, he leads Pivot Cycles’ European operations from its Korntal-Münchingen location. Knodel shares: “Mountain bikes play an important role in my life. It almost sounds like a cliché, but I turn my passion into my job. I rode a Pivot for the first time almost six years ago. A ‘switch blade’. [The brand’s] love for excellent driving performance and attention to detail impressed me. More bikes from the American brand followed and finally a bike trip to Moab, where I was able to get to know Chris Cocalis and his team personally. A friendship developed and when the opportunity arose to be part of this family, I jumped at it.”
