Pivot must have a lot of stock

[JP-NZ]

Just got an email from Pivot NZ. End of summer sale with Shuttle SL and LT between 39 and 40% off RRP. I’ve never ever seen pivots so discounted. All sizes too but not the AM.

Guess they have a lot of stock to clear.

Turns out they are on sale in the UK too

It’s the same at one of main Pivot dealers here in the UK too, the bikes on sale are the old colour Shuttle SLs, the Shimano powered Shuttle LTs and the 429s.

Same in Oz, has been running since a couple of months back but it is the 2 generations old EP8 ones, not the more recently phased out EP801 model.

What brand isn't on sale, they all shot themselves in the foot when they introduced model years, I bought a Pivot LT in November with the Shimano EP801 Team XTR for £6700, reduced from £12999, people may say that it's old tech but personally it's a hell of a bike for the money, and is the new Bosch powered Pivot LT worth a £5k uplift from the price I paid, unless you're racing then I very much doubt it or care if it is.

Giant has done something interesting on their webpage. They have moved all the current/old models to a "clearance" page and only have the new models on the main "bike" page. No discounts on the "bike" page, but all the models on the clearance page are discounted. Rough scan of the pages seems like about 80% of the bikes are on the clearance page and only new models just coming out on the "bike" page. I'm sure the bike page will increase as they release new models for 2024. Discounts don't look any different than what they have been discounting bikes for the past 8 months (My trance is at the same discounted price I paid a year ago) and not nearly as good as the Pivot discounts.

It's crazy how many Pivots are on our local trails. The way they're being discounted, one might think they're selling themselves. But at the meeting place for today's ride was a Pivot Demo van. He probably had 30+ bikes on the rack when I rolled in at the end of the day, and there were still a lot of bikes out on the trails. The Pivot Man said that he was in SoCal for the next month.

reckon you meant 2025 or not?
