@06z quote direct from the Pivot site https://www.pivotcycles.com/en/bike-shuttle-2:
Why doesn’t the Shuttle come with the eMTB specific Fox 36 fork?
Because all Fox 36 forks are class 1 and 2 eMTB rated passing all tests, strength requirements and comes with a full warranty. The eMTB specific 36 fork is rated for Class 3 or Speed Pedalec eBIKES and it simply doesn’t offer the same level of performance as it’s standard counterpart. The standard 36 used on the Shuttle is not only lighter but also comes with a larger, higher volume damper cartridge for better performance and durability. Because of the eMTB specific model’s thicker stanchions (upper fork tubes), only a smaller 34 model damper cartridge can fit inside.
