How it compares

150 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 150 mm median of the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database. Among Pivot’s e-mountain bikes, the Pivot Shuttle SL has the shortest fork travel. Pivot builds the frame from carbon.

Every build uses a FOX fork. In total, 2 different forks are used, from the Fox Factory 36 to the Fox Performance 36. Drive comes from Fazua Ride 60.

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.
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: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.

Target SAG for the Pivot Shuttle SL

Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Pivot gives its own target SAG, use that.

150 mm fork (all builds)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 26 mm
Trail	20 % = 30 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 33 mm
Bike park	20 % = 30 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 DHRII 29" x 2.4" WT, TR, 3C, EXO+, MAXXTERRA Maxxis Dissector 29" x 2.4" WT, TR, 3C, EXO, MAXXTERRA.

Air pressure in the fork

You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion 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: 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.
