E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 test review Construction quality
The E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 has a high price, but everything is well made and with top quality components.
Excellent availability of sizes, as well as the Bosch engine, the battery with high autonomy, the individual components.
It costs but there are many quality components.
The weight, about 18 kg, is not exactly contained, despite the fact that 400wh allows a high autonomy.
E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 test review Frame
The frame of the E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 is very well made, with modern geometries and a very high quality of construction.
It is not a cheap e-bike but the frame is well made and also the real plus is the large number of sizes, there are no compromises, each one has its own frame.
The rear suspension is also new.
The engine and integrated battery are classic Bosch products, here in the BOSCH SX version.
In short, a high price but the e-bike is really valid.
E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 test review Assemblies
All the assemblies of the New PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 are of excellent quality and aligned with each other.
Clearly SL/AMente between the "basic" version and the top gSL/AMma there is not much difference, and already the version of about 8000 euros offers everything a biker needs.
The quality/price ratio is good, the bike is expensive, but also well made and valid.
However, it is worth noting the limited sales network, the complexity of maintenance and very limited assistance centers.

With 150/160mm suspension, comfort is certainly high, impossible to expect more.
Having said that, the ride comfort is excellent and there are no particular differences compared to other competitors.

The dynamic behavior highlights excellent stability and great ease of driving.
Easy to climb even on difficult technical routes with ease and intuitive control of the mountain bike.

Easy to ride on flat ground, where you can appreciate the comfort of the ride and the good general performance.
A versatile e-mtb suitable for any route, but which expresses itself best downhill.
However, it remains a valid choice for a 360-degree e-bike, with which to tackle long tours.

e-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 test review Performance
The general performance of the E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 is very high, thanks to the Bosch CX Race engine and the powerful battery.
The new Bosch SX engine is easy to manage, but also powerful when needed.
The 400wh battery has a good range.
The real range is almost 100 km.
It goes without saying that pedaling on a mountain bike weighing over 18kg is not very pleasant, so pedaling without the help of the electric motor is something to do only in an emergency.
The Bosch App for managing the engine and battery is perfect.
Ultimately, the PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 is a very good e-bike, expensive, but with high performance.
E-bike PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 test review Strengths and weaknesses
The PIVOT SHUTTLE SL/AM 2025 e-bike proves to be an excellent e-bike, expensive, but quality.
It has an excellent frame, available in many sizes and very well made.
The engine and battery are equally valid.
It is not cheap and does not have cheap maintenance, but above all the sales and assistance network is limited.
Two aspects not to be underestimated because with e-bikes, all of them, the purchase is only the beginning of the expense and a widespread and professional assistance is fondSL/AMentale.
Otherwise at the first inconvenience, perhaps trivial, you find yourself with the e-bike stationary for months.
