Fun Machine! Pivot Shuttle SLAM Review - Best Lightweight eMTB Group Review

New to the electrified lineup of Pivot Cycles is a bike we’ve affectionately come to know as the SLAM (Shuttle SL/AM). For years, we’ve loved the playfulness and maneuverability of the lightweight Shuttle SL, but desired capabilities closer to the Shuttle AM. Thankfully, Pivot had something up their sleeve and released the Shuttle SL/AM — lighter weight, but still capable of heavy hits. How does it stack up against 12 of the best Lightweight eMTBs in this year’s shootout? We were excited to find out as we headed down to Klamath Falls.

Without their support, this series wouldn’t have been possible.
