Pivot Shuttle AMPD: suspension setup & specs
The Pivot Shuttle AMPD is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 160 mm of fork travel and 160 mm at the rear. It is powered by Avinox M2S 800Wh. Here you will find all 3 current builds with fork, shock and shock size, plus matching SAG and tyre pressure starting values.

How it compares
Up front the Pivot Shuttle AMPD runs 160 mm – 10 mm more than the 150 mm median we calculated from 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category. Front and rear both work with 160 mm of travel. On travel, it slots in between the Pivot Shuttle SL and the Pivot Shuttle LT in the Pivot range. Pivot builds the frame from carbon.
Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. In total, 3 different forks are used, from the RockShox Zeb Ultimate to the Fox Factory 38. It is powered by Avinox M2S 800Wh.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Zeb Ultimate): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Air shock (RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
- 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.
Target SAG for the Pivot Shuttle AMPD
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Pivot specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes 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: Continental Kyrptotal-F 29" x 2.4" Super Soft Compound Enduro Casing Continental Kyrptotal-R 27.5" x 2.6" Soft Compound Enduro Casing.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) 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.
