Looks like a sliver adapter plate to fit the new 2 bolt motor on the Pivot.

From this part of the video it clearly shows normal cable routing. Hopefully all levels of the new bike are this way
New motor... auto shift... abs... very interesting.
You guys need to buy them and provide feedback.
I won't be looking to replace my 2024 for at least another year.

Isn't that just a AM Shuttle? It's running a 36 fork.

Ye
Yeah, I'm like 90% certain that's just the AM with a conversion mount for the new motor.

There is no way Pivot could ask around 10k for an ebike with what looks like a DIY mounting plate right?
Clearly a prototype.
According to the rumours, expect a new LT that replaces shimano with Bosch gen 5.
Not heard anything on the AM, maybe a light revision with the new motor? Will be hard for them to sell the AM with the gen4, but it’s still a fairly new bike.

Makes sense given the new LT is Bosch. Would be pretty stupid to bring any bike out the a Shimano at the moment.
I was just thinking about Marin bikes, they just released a new alpine trail e bike with a Bosch motor this year, now they are going to have to retool for the new motor. I have to wonder if all the manufacturers got the memo that there would be a new motor.
Maybe they got a really good deal on a batch of the old motors?
As far as I am aware, they’ve all known about the new motor for months...
My mate told me months ago that new shuttle LT would be on a Bosch motor but didn’t go in to much more detail than that. I was wondering if it was going to be a complete new design or if they were just slapping the Gen 5 motor in the current frame, judging by the shuttle AM in that video it won’t be a redesign. I borrowed a Shuttle LT for a weekend demo last year, had all kinds of issues with the rear tire rubbing the seat post battery on hard compressions. I think it’s only an issue on the small frames but unfortunately I ride a small in everything Pivot offers, they’re huge!
There was a time that the bike / brand was the determining factor when purchasing a new bike,now it seems that all that matters is the motor, makes me wonder if we will ever see the time when we purchase the bike with a choice of preferred motor as motor choice is becoming as divisive than choosing between Fox / Rockshox, Sram / Shimano, personally I think that unless you are a proficient rider then the power of some motors will be a hindrance to many riders as speed is one thing, skill and proficiency is quite another.

nothing really new
a good old cx race on the Shuttle AM is more than enough even vs gen 5

I wouldn’t say it’s all that matters, but motor choice is definitely something to factor in. It’s part of the overall build, like forks, shock, brake and groupset, but there’s still a lot more to a bike than the motor.
For example a e150 and a shuttle am have the same motor. One rides like dogshit, one is great.
