New 2025 Pivot Shuttle AM Pro on Review – Did Pivot Just Sharpen Their Trail Weapon to Razor-Blade Status?

More juice, more oomph: With the Bosch CX Race motor, a massive 800 Wh battery and 160/150 mm of travel front and rear, the 2025 Pivot Shuttle AM is built to crush your home trails, power through Alpine landscapes and flow through every corner like it’s second nature. But what’s actually new on this full-power eMTB — and does it back up Pivot’s bold promise of a new all-mountain benchmark?

With the second generation of the Shuttle AM, Pivot aimed to create the ultimate all-rounder for the all-mountain segment. From “rally car” to “trophy truck”, as the American manufacturer puts it, this eMTB is built to handle it all – epic days out, techy climbs, and full-gas descents. To get there, Pivot’s team in Arizona refined a whole host of details. The new 800 Wh battery is not only more compact, helping to lower the centre of gravity, but it also saves 408 grams over the previous 750 Wh version. Add in the Bosch Performance Line CX Race motor, and the Shuttle AM promises even more oomph on the trail. In size LG, the Gen2 tips the scales at a very reasonable 23 kg, retailing at € 11,999. But how much of this is clever marketing – and how much is genuinely new? We took it to the trail to find out.
