The Pivot Shuttle eMTB is a legend in the ebike space. At the time of its release it was one of, if not the lightest ebike available and also held the spot as one of the most expensive eMTBs on the market. Despite the early resistors and sticker shock, Pivot was selling out of Shuttles shipment after shipment. At the request of their dealers, Pivot was tasked with creating a Shuttle at a lower price point, so the Shuttle GX was released. Retailing for $7,999, it’s far from a budget-friendly bike, but Pivot isn’t really about that life. They are happy being the aspirational brand, focused on building bikes the way they want to, and for the most part, that way is pretty damn good.
