I own both along with a Crestline and some other sweet E bikes. the LT is my favorite bike out of all of them. I think its a really complete package and motor differences are noticeable but, I mean, dude, they both push you up the hill with ease... I also own the heckler sl and that thing rips downhill but it's miles behind both of these motors. you didn't ask for my opinion haha so apologies for the random comment. I enjoy watching your riding. Cheers!
I had the opportunity to ride the AM last year when Pivot had a demo ride in Cincinnati. I loved the bike that I rode. It’s a dream for me to get one and I believe I will eventually.
I think it’ll hold its value even with the new bikes coming out! That motor, battery size and weight are hard to beat. Pivot really knows how to spec it too, I wouldn’t change much straight out the box.
I went for the LT. During my research I conclude that the Bosch is a bit more reliable and they have better post-sale, which is pretty nice. However, both have similar autonomy, very low failure ratio and both do the job to take you uphill. At the end of the day the most important for me is to have fun downhill. Thus the LT won. Nice bike btw!
At the end of the day all that matters is MORE LAPS! The shimano has impressed me more since the last update have you installed it? The delivery seems more much intuitive and powerful 💥
Yikes! Sorry to hear about the tibial plateau fracture and I’m glad you’ve had a gravel bike to ride in the meantime time. The AM is a great bike I think you’ll love it 🤘🏻
Been riding coil now for a month or so and it feels like butter. Amazing bike. I’m hitting gaps and drops I’ve never thought I would. Best purchase ever.

I can’t decide lt vs am
Better than the Crestline with the race motor?

U ride a wild??
Best vid I’ve seen to date my dude! Great analysis and riding to both ya boys 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks dude, I appreciate the feedback from a legend like you 😚

@@justin_niemi not yet. It should be available soon in my country (Chile). Will try it for sure!
Nice video
Hoping to get an AM in mid Nov.
Have been riding my gravel bike; looking to get into the hobby, recovering from a tibial plateau fracture.
Yikes! Sorry to hear about the tibial plateau fracture and I’m glad you’ve had a gravel bike to ride in the meantime time. The AM is a great bike I think you’ll love it 🤘🏻
@@justin_niemi Thanks, Riding the gravel bike on the local bike path has been really good physical therapy.
I got my AM and put a 38 170 on it and it plows amazingly. Next up, coil!
Sounds like that’s the best option! Did it loose any of its spritely characteristics with the extra weight?
@@justin_niemi nah man, this thing is amazing. It just made it that much more capable.

The LT with the Bosch motor
If only 🙏🏼
What motor was on the LT the eight or the 801
What is that noise.. almost rattling? Is that the Shimano noise a lot of people speak of? Sounds pretty loud.
Shimano ep8 rattles while coasting cause the clutch disengages and the Bosch motor has more a clunk sound
That AM sounds horrible.
What motor was on the LT the eight or the 801
I believe this bike had the EP8 on it!
