Pivot Shuttle LT: suspension setup & specs
The Pivot Shuttle LT is an e-enduro bike with 170 mm of fork travel and 162 mm at the rear. It is powered by Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX 800Wh or Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX Race Edition 800Wh. Below you will find all 5 current builds with fork, shock and shock size, plus SAG values in millimetres and a tyre pressure table.

How it compares
170 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 170 mm median of the 56 bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category in our database. The fork has 8 mm more travel than the rear end with 162 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. No other Pivot model among its e-mountain bikes has more travel up front. The frame is made of carbon.
Pivot uses FOX suspension throughout. In total, 3 different forks are used, from the Fox Performance Elite Podium to the Fox Factory Podium. With the Fox Factory DHX Neo Live, the Pro X0 Eagle Transmission | NEO build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG. It is powered by Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX Race Edition 800Wh or Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX 800Wh.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (Fox Performance Elite Podium): 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: on FOX suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Coil spring (Fox Factory DHX Neo Live): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
- Air shock (Fox Performance Elite Float X): 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: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Pivot Shuttle LT
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.
170 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 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" SuperSoft 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.
