Shuttle SL Pro X0 Eagle Transmission

The Shuttle SL lineup spans from the Ride Eagle 70/90 at $8,499 to the Pro X0 Eagle Transmission at $11,199 and the Team XX Eagle Transmission at $13,199. Even the entry point sits firmly in premium territory, which reflects the carbon frame, Fazua Ride 60 system, and boutique positioning more than aggressive value pricing. The range is structured in a familiar way: the Ride model is the access point for riders who want the same chassis and motor platform at the lowest cost, while the Pro and Team builds move into high-end drivetrain territory with SRAM Transmission-equipped packages.

Review coverage focused heavily on the upper-end builds, where the bike’s low weight is reinforced by premium components. Testers specifically praised high-end wheel packages such as Reynolds Blacklabel carbon wheels with Industry Nine Hydra hubs on top trims for contributing to the bike’s sharp acceleration and lively feel. At the same time, reviewers questioned whether certain stock parts fully matched the asking price, especially the use of fast-rolling Maxxis Dissector tires and a 180 mm rear rotor on expensive builds. That means the pricier versions deliver the lightest, most responsive interpretation of the Shuttle SL concept, but some buyers may still budget for tire or brake upgrades depending on terrain and riding style.

Reviewers were broadly aligned on the Shuttle SL’s core appeal: it feels unusually close to a non-motorized trail bike for an e-MTB. Blister measured its Team XTR test bike at 39.38 lb, and multiple outlets described the bike as lively, playful, and easy to preload or place accurately on trail. Mountain Bike Action and Blister both emphasized how the lower mass changes braking points and cornering compared with heavier e-bikes, while Jeff Kendall-Weed and others noted that getting it airborne requires body English much closer to a regular enduro or trail bike than a 50-pound full-power machine. The 132 mm dw-link rear suspension also drew consistent praise for feeling deeper than the number suggests, with Blister calling out excellent bottom-out resistance and Enduro MTB highlighting its combination of small-bump sensitivity and strong support when pumping terrain.

Climbing performance was another recurring strength. Mountain Bike Action described it as one of the best-climbing mountain bikes they had ridden, and several reviewers credited the dw-link platform for minimizing bob while maintaining traction. The Fazua Ride 60 system was widely praised for its quiet operation and natural, punchy delivery, with some testers noting that Pivot’s tuning makes the bike feel more eager than other Fazua-equipped models. At the same time, reviewers also identified clear trade-offs. Enduro MTB, Ebike-MTB, and 99 Spokes all noted that the Shuttle SL’s direct, stiff chassis can be demanding in rough terrain, feeding more trail feedback to the rider than heavier, more muted e-bikes. In high-speed chunder, some found it darty or less composed than longer, heavier alternatives, and several criticized stock choices such as the Maxxis Dissector tires and 180 mm rear rotor for underserving the bike’s descending capability. Early Fazua-related issues including delayed engagement, remote complaints, and isolated motor problems were also noted, though most reviewers said later firmware updates improved the system substantially.
