Whatever you think of e-bikes, there’s no denying that Pivot’s Shuttle is a real looker. It’s built around Shimano’s acclaimed STePS E8000 motor and boasts 140mm of DW-Link rear travel. Pictured here with 650b+ tyres, it’ll accept 29in wheels too. The neatly-integrated battery is accessed from the underside of the massive down tube. But what we’re most excited about is the geometry. Short – for an e-MTB – chainstays (437mm) and a decent reach (465mm on the large) should sit the rider in a good position, while the 65.8-degree head angle and 348mm BB will provide stability when speeds pick up. At $13500, it’s certainly not cheap though.
