At The Ark Cycles, we’re passionate about bikes that genuinely raise the bar. As an independent bike shop based in Stroud, we pride ourselves on carefully selecting brands and models that deliver real-world performance, reliability, and pure riding enjoyment. Today Pivot Cycles unveiled the brand new Shuttle LT, and gosh, we are excited! 

If you’ve ever ridden in the Golfie (Innerleithen), you’ll know it’s one of those places that sticks in your mind. Steep, technical, rooty, slippery, and absolutely packed with world-class descents. We’ve been lucky enough to ride up there plenty of times on analogue bikes, but this trip was our first time taking e-bikes — and more specifically, the Pivot Shuttle LT.

At The Ark Cycles, we’re thrilled to introduce the all new Specialized Vado SL 2, a revolutionary e-bike that’s lightweight, powerful, and perfect for city commuting, weekend adventures, or fitness rides. Available in both carbon fibre and aluminium, there's something for everyone!
