How it compares

Up front the Pivot Shuttle SL AM 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. The rear offers 150 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Pivot’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Pivot Shuttle SL and the Pivot Shuttle LT on travel. Pivot builds the frame from carbon.

Fork and shock come from FOX on every build. The fork line-up ranges from the Fox Factory 36 to the Fox Performance 36. It is powered by Bosch Performance SX 400Wh.

Setup notes for this spec

Fork (Fox Factory 36): 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 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 (Fox Factory Float): 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 SL AM

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

Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. 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.

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

You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.

Note: all values without guarantee. Specification can vary by model year, frame size and market – if in doubt, the type plate, the manual and Pivot’s information apply. Never exceed maximum pressures.
