Shuttle LT

To ensure the best sizing, we recommend that you visit your local Pivot dealer to get a
professional fit and refer to our geometry chart to check your measurements. We can,
however, provide a rough guideline to get you started. These recommendations are based on
our experience, athlete preference and customer feedback:
Small: 5'3" – 5'8" (160 cm – 173 cm)
Medium: 5'7" – 6'0" (170 cm – 183 cm)
Large: 5'10" – 6'2' (178 cm – 188 cm)
X-Large: 6'1" (185 cm )
We suggest that you pick your Shuttle LT size based on your riding style. The Shuttle LT features
enduro bike long and low geometry with shorter seat tube measurements per size – this
geometry means that most riders can go up or down a size and should base their choice on
riding-style, reach and stem length preferences. Be sure to also consult our dropper post fit
guide when making your selection. You can always reach out to us on Live Chat for additional
guidance.

We make it easy to get the best ride out of your Pivot bike with a simple sag indicator already installed on your bike, and this follow-along video featuring our own Bernard Kerr. There is a shock set up guide included in your Shuttle LT’s owner's manual as well as a comprehensive suspension setup guide that can also be accessed under the Tech Specs tab.

The Shuttle LT can run up to a 2.6” wide 27.5” tire in the rear. If you choose to use a 29" wheel in the rear, you can use up to a 2.5” wide MAXXIS tire. For other tires in the market, most will fit
up to these dimensions. If you decide to change the tires or wheels that we have on our builds, we suggest you check the fit with your chosen rim and tire combination to make sure it has proper clearance.

Shuttle LT builds come with mixed wheels, a 27.5” rear wheel and a 29” front wheel. The rear triangle can accommodate a 29” rear wheel if you would like to set the bike up as a full 29er.

31.6mm

The Shuttle LT frame uses a 36.4mm seatpost clamp, some manufacturers call it a 36.5mm.

S – 245mm
M – 270mm
L – 310mm
XL – 348mm
*Please check seat post measurements carefully before installing the post.

The Shuttle LT Features a low stand-over height and short seat tubes to allow the use of longer travel dropper posts and/or more flexibility for a wider range of rider sizes. There are some limitations that each dropper post can accommodate for each frame size based on individual rider's saddle height. Use the Dropper Fit Guide (found under Tech Specs) to determine if the included dropper post will work correctly for the size bike that you are considering.

The Shuttle LT uses the new Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard developed by SRAM. This derailleur hanger is compatible with all derailleurs on the market – not just SRAM. We spec this hanger because it has some clever derailleur saving features and is more likely to be found at any shop and is also available in our webstore.

The Shuttle LT uses an axle for 157mm rear spacing designed for the new Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard. The rear axle supplied with the frame is a Pivot specific design using a 12mm X 1.0mm thread pitch. SRAM also makes compatible 157mm UDH axles. Pivot 157mm UDH compatible axles can be found in our webstore.

The Shuttle LT uses a 157mm rear hub spacing in a configuration called Super Boost Plus 157. Super Boost Plus 157 builds on the idea of wider flange spacing pioneered by Boost 148. Super Boost Plus spreads the flanges even wider (up to 14mm wider then a 142mm hub) and increases wheel stiffness substantially (Approximately 30% stiffer than boost), which is a huge benefit on e-bike wheels.

The Shuttle LT uses a ZS (zero stack) 44mm top and (zero stack) 56mm bottom. The complete headset (PA-BIK-HSK-V1-ZST) or replacement bearings (PA-BIK-HBK-V1-ZST) can be found in our webstore.

The Shuttle LT is optimized around a 34t chainring. It can fit up to a 38t chainring, but we recommend using a 34t chainring for the best performance from the DW-Link suspension, drive unit, and drivetrain. The smallest size you can use is a 34t.

The Fox forks available on the Shuttle LT builds have the latest Fox tune eliminating the need for an eMTB tune. We use the standard Fox 38 chassis that differs from Fox’s much heavier eMTB specific chassis for class 3 e-bikes.

The Shuttle LT is designed for a 203mm rear rotor. A 203mm rotor is the only size rotor that can be used on the rear. On the front, we spec the Shuttle LT with a 223mm front rotor and an adaptor to convert from 180mm post mount to a 223mm post mount. The fork can also accept a 203mm rotor with the proper adaptor or a 180mm rotor with no adaptor.

The Shuttle LT was designed for a 170mm fork. The maximum travel length that can be used on the Shuttle LT is 180mm travel.

No. Although the Shuttle LT is a longer travel bike capable descending the steepest and roughest trails, it is only designed for use with single crown forks.

44mm

The Shuttle LT’s metric shock has a trunnion style upper mount, 205mm eye-to-eye length, and 65mm stroke.

The Shuttle LT shock features a trunnion style upper mount and uses M8 through bolt hardware on the bottom mount. Shock spacer dimensions are 30mm wide on the bottom mount. We typically run medium valving on the compression side (depending on rider weight) and medium rebound damping.

Larger volume spacers will resist bottoming, allow the bike to ride higher in the stroke and generally make the bike feel more “poppy”. If a rider is not getting full stroke or they feel that the bike is riding too high in its stroke, even with sag set properly, then they should go to a smaller volume spacer.
