So ... any rumors on when CX Gen 5 Pivot Shuttle AM will come out?

[jeffchrisope]

Just wondering if anyone is hearing anything ... really like the demo rides I've done on the 2024 Gen 4 Shuttle AM, but also feel like buying in right at the end of the product line lifetime is maybe not super-wise. Loved the tease in the Bosch reveal videos last fall using a Shuttle with a Gen 5 bolted onto the thing.

I note that Pivot is knocking $2k off the non-Team versions, which is of course always a sign that the next model/release is coming, just would like to know how long I'll be waiting if I decide to wait ...

Any credible reports or signs?

I was wondering the same question. I spoke with a bigger shop in the US and they said they think Pivot is going a different direction from Bosch. I wonder if it will be DJI? CX5 seems like the logical choice.

If you decide to wait, you might not get the deal.
They're selling like hotcakes.

I have the Shimano equipped EP801 shuttle LT, I was in a similar position as yourself but after deciding on the full team xtr edition, retail £12999, discounted to £7000 I decided to forget the hype about what's next and how long you wait and bought the bike, after riding the new Pivot Shuttle 2025 Bosch CX Race edition I'm glad I did as I really don't see the value in paying an extra £5000 for what is supposed to be better than the previous version, it's not, so how long do you wait and will you like what they come up with in 12 months time, nobody has a crystal ball so decide on what is available rather than dreaming about what isn't.

Yep, understand the trade-offs of waiting vs. moving now, just wondering if anyone has heard any rumors. Local dealer doesn't have anything to share on that front - so, either intentionally cagey, or just as much in the dark as everybody else. Could be either.

I heard a rumor that the Shuttle Team and Pro will be getting the Gen 5, but when? With the Team already being sold out and the Pro close, Pivot isn’t going to sit on the Team AM as the only spec for long.

With these two lower models being blown out, there‘s clearly only two options, one being the Race motor(to match the Team) and the other is the Gen 5 Bosch with a newly designed front triangle. I highly doubt it will be another brand.

Keeping the same front triangle and adding the Race motor to an already existing mold makes the most since and most cost effective for Pivot, but is it enough to raise the price back up 3K plus and get people to buy the bike at it’s original pricing?

To me the Race motor won’t be enough for customers to want to pay the premium, but installing the Gen 5 will make people jump at the latest and greatest. What are you really getting? You’re getting the 800w battery, that weighs a 1/2lb lighter than the 750w and a cutout for a display that is still yet to come. The new motor is slightly lighter and it has more of a high pitch wind on the ups and doesn’t make a scrabble noise on the way down.

If Pivot is looking at profit as their bottom line, then it will be the Race, if they care about giving us consumers what we demand, then an updated mold/Gen5 it will be. Orbea updated the mold to fit the Gen 5, so what will it be? Who TF knows

Is the Gen 5 worth paying $3500 more vs picking up the Pro at $7500 today? I’m deciding on the Pro at this bargain of the decade, but another part of me wants to wait and see.

Deciscions, deciscions
