Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (RockShox Zeb Ultimate): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.

Target SAG for the Pivot Shuttle AM

SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Pivot take priority.

160 mm fork (all builds)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 27 mm
Trail	20 % = 32 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 35 mm
Bike park	20 % = 32 mm

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

For 2.60″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Maxxis Minion DHF 29" x 2.5" WT, TR, 3C, EXO+, MAXXTERRA Maxxis Minion DHRII 29" x 2.4" WT, TR, 3C, EXO+, MAXXTERRA.

Air pressure in the fork

The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.

Note: no guarantee is given. Specs can vary by model year, size and country; the type plate, the manual and Pivot are authoritative. The maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims always apply.
