Shuttle AM Team XX Eagle Transmission NEO

The Shuttle AM range spans from the $8,499 Ride Eagle 70/90 to the $15,999 Team XX Eagle Transmission NEO, with the core lineup stepping through the $11,999 Pro X0 Eagle Transmission and $14,499 Team XX Eagle Transmission. Across the range, the biggest dividing lines are motor tier, frame construction, and component level. The Ride build uses Bosch’s standard Performance Line CX system, while the Pro and Team models get the more aggressive CX-R setup. Higher-end builds also receive the Bosch Kiox 400C display, which reviewers singled out as a meaningful upgrade over the simpler control setup on the base bike.

The Ride model appears positioned as the entry point rather than the standout value option, since reviewers repeatedly noted that its price is still high for a build without the CX-R motor. The Pro is the key middle ground: it gets the premium motor system and SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission at a substantially lower price than the Team bikes, making it the most obvious performance-value choice in the range. At the top end, the Team and Team NEO are unapologetically premium builds aimed at riders who want the lightest and most exclusive spec. Review coverage also highlights Pivot’s move toward RockShox suspension on Ride and Pro builds versus Fox equipment on Team models, with some testers preferring the slightly plusher RockShox feel on a full-power eMTB and others favoring the more supportive, race-oriented Fox setup.

Reviewers are notably consistent in describing the Shuttle AM Gen 2 as one of the most athletic and playful bikes in the full-power eMTB class. Blister, Mountain Bike Action, and Awesomemtb all emphasize that it feels lighter than its roughly 47.5 lb / 21.5 kg weight suggests, with a ride character that is more snappy and flickable than the plow-oriented feel of many 150–160 mm eMTBs. Several outlets credit the dw-link suspension for that personality: BikeRadar and E-MOUNTAINBIKE both point to its supportive, high-anti-squat behavior, which keeps the bike composed under Bosch’s high torque and gives it strong pop when pumping terrain or exiting corners. GearJunkie also praised the acceleration and climbing performance, calling attention to the smooth but forceful way the Bosch CX-R motor reaches the assist limit.

The tradeoff, according to multiple reviewers, is that the Shuttle AM is not the most isolating or forgiving bike in rough terrain. BikeRadar and Blister both note that it transmits more trail feedback than longer-travel or softer-riding alternatives, especially in steep, blown-out sections where line choice matters more. That firmer, more active feel is often framed as a positive for riders who want engagement rather than passive stability, but it does mean the Shuttle AM is less forgiving at the limit than a true enduro-focused eMTB such as Pivot’s own Shuttle LT. Reviewers also flagged a few practical downsides: the stock Pivot Ride saddle was widely criticized as uncomfortable, GearJunkie raised concerns about the charging-port door’s durability, and several testers noted that Bosch Race mode’s overrun can be too abrupt for awkward technical climbs unless the rider adapts or switches to eMTB+ mode.
