We got one in last week. Replaces the Kenevo. The S2 we got will fit someone 7 feet tall.

High standover? Pretty much a given on any bike with the shock mounted on the top tube. Bike geo 101, you set the bb hight, the lower pivot is set by the bb hight. The other pivot locations are set by the design. My s3 Kenevo has a stand over of 32 inches, that’s great for a large but it sucks for a medium.

Yeah. It’s probably S4 tall but short like an S2. The S3 Levo4 sits like the Stumpy. The R kinda sits like an Epic Evo. We have a demo fleet of those so I’m gonna steal it for a bit.

I picked up an E-Bike via a trade for my YT a couple of years ago. I never loved the YT, it just had a feel I couldn't get comfortable with. I wound up a pretty decent Husquarna that was like new. The intention was to use it for preriding enduros & getting out for those days when the legs are dead. It worked well. Some time last summer, I did a ride, and it was 6 Pivots vs me. I did ok, but clearly I was working hard. FFWD to a few weeks ago. I see a guy at NICA race and he TORMENTS me over my Husqvarna; none other than @jdog .

Turns out he has nice new shiny Pivot Shuttle LT ready to go. He even arranged for an easy pickup spot. This version of the Shuttle LT is INSANE. You should have to take a test to ride this bike. It's spec'ed amazing. Looks gorgeous and rides like nothing I've ever been on. Halters Bikes has the goods with these. As I close on 60, I can say I feel like the 30 YO me on this. No, I'm faster. Too fun words.

Ya MAN! This thing rips. The podium lives up to the hype for sure. The LT is so sorted. They learned a lot on the prior generations of this bike and they keep making it better. The floating battery mount really lets this bike move around in a way that prior ebikes could not. This is a firebird on crack.

I was lucky enough to get three days on this same bike in AZ folling ED masters and Chris Cocalis around. Such a great time.

The DJI bikes are getting all the attention for the total power, but the power delivery and the total package that Bosch delivers on this bike is insane. This will be my next bike too!
