Unmatched Play - Pivot Shuttle Amp'D Review - 2026 eMTB Shootout 2026

Pivot’s entry to the Avinox-powered eBike game was always going to be a good one: the Phoenix, AZ, brand knows how to make a bike that handles well. For their Shuttle AMP’d, Pivot instilled the Shuttle AM DNA into a 150mm travel Avinox M2S-equipped eMTB, with an 800Wh battery fitted even to a size XS frame. Could the Pivot Shuttle AMP’d be the best do-it-all eBike on the market? We were excited to find out as it went head-to-head with 14 competitors in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Written Review: https://theloamwolf.com/emtb/pivot-shuttle-ampd-review/ Main Shootout Page: https://theloamwolf.com/emtb/2026-emtb-shootout/ These intensive group reviews would not be possible without some amazing partners. Their support ensures our entire crew can ride all these bikes on a variety of terrain to establish real-world data for our audience. Fox Racing kept the team warm during the odd storm, comfortable on hot days, and ensured we were always looking cool while staying protected. Schwalbe Tires provided control tires with amazing and predictable performance, and 2 weeks of testing across the 15 test eMTBs with zero flat tires. We’d also like to thank our destination hosts. We stayed at Glorieta Adventure Camps just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico and we were supported by Sante Fe City and Santa Fe County and their Tourism Dept. Thanks for the hospitality, and you should definitely get down there for yourself!
