Santa Cruz Bullit vs. Pivot Shuttle LT | e-Mountain Bike Showdown

With the Santa Cruz Bullit and Pivot Shuttle LT both sitting in the long-travel e-Mountain Bike category, we decided to compare these two electrified rides. Gearheads Cam, Chris, and Kendall tested these bikes on a handful of long rides in backcountry terrain, and both bikes impressed. While they’re both long-travel bikes, the Bullit and the Shuttle LT both offer their own respective flavors. The Bullit features mixed wheel sizes for a touch of freeride flair, while the Shuttle LT uses slacked out geo and dual 29in wheels to deliver a composed ride feel that shines deep in the wilderness.
