[{"Id":1775,"ModelId":72,"Question":"Which size bike should I purchase?","Answer":"

To ensure the best sizing, we recommend that you visit your local Pivot dealer to get a professional fit and refer to our geometry chart to check your measurements. We can, however, provide a rough guideline to get you started. These recommendations are based on our experience, athlete preference and customer feedback:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Small: 5'2" – 5'8"
\r\nMedium: 5'7" – 6'0"
\r\nLarge: 5'10" – 6'2'
\r\nX-Large: 6'1" +<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We suggest that you pick your size based on your riding style. The Shuttle SL features progressive long reach geometry with both short seat tube and head tube measurements per size – this geometry means that most riders can go up or down a size and should base their choice on riding-style, reach and stem length preferences. Be sure to also consult the Shuttle SL dropper post fit guide when making your selection. You can always reach out to us on Live Chat for additional guidance.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1776,"ModelId":72,"Question":"How do I set up the suspension on my Shuttle SL?","Answer":"

We make it easy to get the best ride out of your Pivot bike with a simple sag indicator already installed on your bike, and this follow-along video featuring our own Bernard Kerr.

We would advise against it. The Shuttle SL battery is designed to be fully integrated into the frame without the need to remove it for charging. To provide the lightest and best performing bike in this category we chose not to build the Shuttle SL with a removable battery option. The battery can be removed but it requires specific procedures including removing the motor.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1778,"ModelId":72,"Question":"Why did you build the Shuttle SL with an integrated internal battery instead of the removable type?","Answer":"

There are a few great reasons for the use of an internal battery. We made the Shuttle SL over a pound (.5kg) lighter by designing our frame around the internal battery. Not only is the non-removable battery lighter but we were able to reduce wall thickness, and eliminate the additional parts needed for the removable version.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The integrated battery gives the Shuttle SL a beautiful profile with its slim clean downtube.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In a pursuit to make our bikes as quiet as possible the integrated battery means there are fewer moving parts and a more secure fit for everything inside the frame making sure the only thing you hear is your tires on the trail and the nature surrounding you.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1779,"ModelId":72,"Question":"How long does it take to recharge the battery?","Answer":"

FAZUA states that it can take up to 3.5 hours to recharge the battery from being completely dead. In our experience, it’s hard to completely drain that battery and a battery with some charge tends to charge faster.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1780,"ModelId":72,"Question":"How many miles can I get out of each battery charge?","Answer":"

There is no single answer to this question—it really depends on how much you are asking of the battery and drive unit during your ride. If you do your entire ride in the most powerful pedal-assist mode (Rocket), you’ll demand more energy from the battery than if you are operating the bike in less powerful (Breeze or River) modes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here’s our own experience: In our testing this system, we’ve found that most of our rides involve shifting between the different modes—Rocket winds up providing more power than you want on descents, flats or (unless you are completely bonked) even rolling terrain. Accordingly, when we start our rides with a fully-charged battery showing five lights on the display, we can routinely finish a 3 to 4-hour ride with 3000ft+ (1000 meters) of climbing and 1 or 2 lights still showing on the display (with a 200lb (90kg) rider on board. Lighter riders and those riding mostly in the Breeze (eco) mode can complete even longer days in the saddle on a single charge.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1781,"ModelId":72,"Question":"If I want to do longer rides, is there a range extender available?","Answer":"

All rechargeable batteries gradually store less power with each recharge. FAZUA’s battery unit is designed to provide 1,000 recharges before it reaches the point at which replacing the battery is advised. At that point, the battery will hold 60% of its capacity vs. when new.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1783,"ModelId":72,"Question":"How much does it weigh?","Answer":"

The Shuttle SL’s lightest World Cup build starts at 36.25 lbs (under 17kg). Pivot bicycles are among the lightest available, but the weight is only one of many factors that make a great bicycle. Other aspects such as frame stiffness, strength, durability, and ride quality are just as important as weight to our engineers when designing the Shuttle SL. Instead of comparing grams, we suggest you visit your local Pivot dealer and see our attention to detail, smart, high-value spec, and class-leading features, but most of all the incredible performance of the new Shuttle SL.

The Shuttle SL uses a 157mm rear hub spacing in a configuration called Super Boost Plus 157. Super Boost Plus 157 builds on the idea of wider flange spacing pioneered by Boost 148. Super Boost Plus spreads the flanges even wider (up to 14mm wider then a 142mm hub) and increases wheel stiffness substantially (Approximately 30% stiffer than boost), which is a huge benefit on e-bike wheels and frame strength, as well as chainring and tire clearance.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1792,"ModelId":72,"Question":"What is the Q factor of the cranks on the Shuttle SL?","Answer":"

The Shuttle SL’s DPS shock uses a 0.4 cu in volume spacer. This DPS shock can fit spacers from 0.2cu in up to 0.95cu in. The shock can handle larger spacers for a more progressive feel or smaller spacers for a more linear feel. For a more linear feel, a 0.2cu in volume spacer can be installed. For a more progressive feel, using between 0.6-0.95 cu in volume spacer can be installed. 0.95 cu in is the maximum size volume spacer for this shock.

NO! Although it’s in our nature to always want a little more, in the long run, it’s best to make sure that your Shuttle SL remains the Class 1 e-bike that it was intended to be and can be ridden in more places without a negative impact on trail access. Additionally, leaving your drive unit stock means that your warranty will stay intact. The Shuttle SL was not designed or tested to be run with a setting that is more powerful and\/or changes or removes the top speed limits for the battery assist. Changes in the stock system will void the warranty not just of the system but of your entire bike. It is also illegal with stiff penalties for altering the system beyond the Class 1 legal limits.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1823,"ModelId":72,"Question":"If my drive unit breaks, is my local bike shop going to be able to repair it?","Answer":"

Drive units are completely sealed in order to keep the electronics and mechanical pieces perfectly clean year after year. Like most FAZUA components, it has a 2-year warranty. If something mechanical were to fail after that point, the solution would be to contact a FAZUA
\r\ndealer for repair or replacement of the drive unit. Drive unit service and warranty claims are handled through an authorized Pivot retailer. Firmware related problems may still be solved by a dealer with the FAZUA Toolbox Software. The software displays various different parameters for your system and allows you to independently perform a firmware update. Visit FAZUA.com and go to the support section for firmware updates.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1824,"ModelId":72,"Question":"What happens if my drive unit breaks—am I stranded on the trail?","Answer":"

In the unlikely event of a drive unit malfunction, your Shuttle SL is still absolutely ride-worthy. We designed the Shuttle SL to be a great mountain bike—even with the pedal assist disengaged. Thanks to the DW Link design, the bike pedals efficiently. It’s a bit like riding a cross between a Trail 429 and Switchblade. True, the Shuttle SL weighs (just a bit) more than its non-motorized siblings, and you’ll feel that with the drive unit turned off (there’s no getting around physics), but it’s still fun to ride with the drive unit turned off. In fact, the bike rides so well in off since the system is drag-free you may find yourself riding without assist more often than you would think!<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1825,"ModelId":72,"Question":"What kind of maintenance do I have to do on the drive unit and how often?","Answer":"

Beyond occasional firmware updates, there is no maintenance required on the drive unit. The clean environment that keeps the electronics happy also keeps the gears and bearings running smoothly for years. The chainring is easily removable so that it can be replaced after regular drive train wear.<\/p>","IsActive":true,"Created":"2022-07-07T00:00:00","ModelVersion":"SSLV1"},{"Id":1826,"ModelId":72,"Question":"FAZUA RIDE 60 FAQ","Answer":"
