Core Frame and Suspension Details

• Frame: Full carbon fiber with Pivot’s proprietary hollow core molding for strength and low weight. DW-Link suspension linkage for efficient pedaling and supportive performance.
• Travel:
  • Rear: 160–165 mm (adjustable via flip-chip: 162 mm short/long setting, up to 165 mm in some configs).
  • Front: 170 mm fork.
• Wheel Configuration: Stock mullet (MX) setup — 29″ front / 27.5″ rear — with full compatibility for dual 29″ via geo flip-chip (low setting recommended for 29″ rear to maintain geometry).
• Drive System:
  • Motor: Bosch Performance Line CX Race (Gen 4 Race Limited Edition) — 85 Nm torque, 600 W peak power, lightweight (~2.75 kg), with exclusive Race mode (extended overrun, up to 400% support for aggressive climbing).
  • Battery: Integrated 750 Wh Bosch PowerTube (removable/chargeable); optional 250 Wh PowerMore range extender.
• Other Frame Specs: 157 mm Super Boost rear spacing, universal derailleur hanger, Tool Dock system on top tube for onboard storage, fits tires up to 27.5×2.6″ (or equivalent 29″).

Highly Adjustable Geometry (Size L Highlights, High Setting, Mullet Wheels)

The Shuttle LT is one of the most tunable eMTBs, with four major adjustments:

• Slacky McSteepTube™ (patent-pending independent seat tube angle): ~76.5° to 78° (steeper for steep climbs, slacker for technical terrain).
• Swinger dropout system (patented): 8 mm chainstay adjustment (short for agile/snappy handling; long for stability).
• Geo flip-chip: High/low overall geometry + wheel size tuning.
• Suspension flip-chip: Progressive (lively/pop) to linear (deep/composed) shock curve.

Key geometry figures for Size L (High setting, mullet wheels, ~170 mm fork):

• Head tube angle: 64°
• Effective seat tube angle: ~76.5–77° (adjustable up to 78°)
• Reach: 488 mm
• Stack: ~654 mm (some sources note ~645–650 mm variations)
• Effective top tube: ~650 mm
• Chainstay: 439 mm (shortest setting; up to ~447 mm adjusted)
• Wheelbase: ~1,281 mm
• BB height: 350 mm
• Standover: High (suited for aggressive riding)

This makes Size L feel long and stretched (great for stability at speed, but some riders ~180–185 cm tall note it can feel big — consider test-riding if between M and L).

Performance Notes

In reviews, the Size L Shuttle LT excels in aggressive enduro: Bosch Race motor provides explosive, traction-rich climbing; DW-Link delivers outstanding rear traction/control; short chainstays keep it playful/agile despite length. It’s stable on high-speed descents but demands commitment at limits. The blue color adds a premium, eye-catching aesthetic without sacrificing the bike’s raw capability.
