I'm holding off to see what the Pivot and the new Levo SL look like. The Levo will obviously have more travel and be more plush but there is a lot to consider. As I get t\o my mid-55 though, the plush part FINALLY sounds appealing, instead of being a four-letter word. :LOL:

And add the Transition Relay and Trek Fuel EXe to the list. There are lots of these stealthy mid-powered eMTBs coming out.
 
I believe it was the Transition Relay that is supposed to arrive Spring 2023. It looks like it's going to be another great midweight eBike option.
-You are correct. It's their range-extender that's due out in the Spring apparently..... Though, there are some reports of a little delay to Mid-September now for shipping bikes.

I'm pretty pumped that Porsche & PON Group are partnering in the Motor/Battery/Software development deal at Fazua. The lid is gonna pop on this segment of ebikes REAL soon I think :)
 
The SL's are popping up in shops in the Phoenix area. I rode one in the parking lot yesterday.

Very quiet and smooth power delivery. The power seems to come on slower in the higher power mode than in the easiest mode. I believe that's all adjustable via the app.

I was surprised the large XTR build with Dissectors weighed 39 lbs. This is with Fox 36 and DPX2.

With or without pedals?

Surprised how? That's quite an impressive weight for a large with Fox 36..

My rise, for instance is 46 lbs. I would be curious how the SL's battery lasts compared to a hydro rise with the 540w.
 
My laege Levo SL with Dissector WT and DHR II WT, DPX2, FOX 36, also weighs 40 lbs. I find that pretty light for an ebike not built with a focus on being light. However, the frame is not especially stiff. It isn't bad or too distracting on really choppy/fast runs but my Ripmo is definitely stiffer, so the Levo SL frame must be quite light.

I'll be willing to bet that the Pivot frame is stiffer than the Levo SL, so 40 lbs is good in my book. The range will be interesting to see. I am usually in Eco and maybe 20% on Trail if it is a 2K+ ride. So my range is really good. I can do 40 miles and 4,500 ft and still have 20% left (178 lbs). I have extenders too I can do way more if needed (it isn't needed LOL ). I'm curious to see what the Pivot can do in that type of setting.
 
I got to play with a Shuttle SL this past weekend, it’s definitely lighter than my wife’s Shuttle, but it’s definitely heavier than my Canfield Lithium; my Lithium is a burly enduro bike and weighs in between 36-37#.

The shop guy says it weighs “37# according to Pivot”; the shop had recently spent a day demoing the bike at a Pivot event.

I asked the shop guy if he’d weighed the bike; he had a scale hanging from the rafter ~ five feet away and he ignored me, I asked again and he repeated the Pivot claims.

My guess, the Shuttle SL weighs somewhere around 40# ready to ride in the XT/SLX build, which sells for $11,500 😳

At double the cost of my Lithium, I don’t see one in my garage anytime soon.

Surprised it was that light. I questioned the weight when he said it. After the parking lot demo, he weighed it in the back of the shop to confirm what he had told me. I didn't see the scale and they were also taunting it was the first and only one in the Valley. I've seen three others on FB at other shops. 🤷🏼‍♂️

He wouldn’t even weigh it? Sounds like a stand up guy.

Where did you get that price from? The actual price is $8,300 if that sounds better for you?

$11.5 is the XTR Build.
-Doesn't make the price-tag any easier to swallow tho........
:LOL:
