Levo Gen 4 Levo Gen 4 Rumours and some facts...

Yes many new bikes release were waiting on the this SRAM release.
EMBN's video RE new release tomorrow - I think that'll be the Whyte which has just been announced with mechanical transmission.
www.vitalmtb.com
They did a video on the Whyte Kado the other week and they hinted it would be very similar to a bike they've featured recently. I would say the Vala was too long ago to be classed as featured recently
Whyte Introduces the Kado RS with All-new SRAM MTB Mechanical Eagle Transmission
Whyte’s all-new Kado RS is built for aggressive enduro riding.

I thought that, hopefully, another manufacturer.

Don’t get it or like it , I’ve got the wireless a setup and ill never go back the change and ease of use is second to none
Yeah but the entire mtb industry isn't based around your preferences. There are many people who hate electronic shifting and would never use it. I am sure they are glad there is still development going on for wired shifting.

Sure each to their own , but now we have Shimano on the brink of releasing their wireless offering suppose u have to have something that attracts the right rider
No.

But it has a very similar frame layout and does look the same shock mount as the new Levo. I didn't say it was the new Levo, just that it looks like the top tube. I didn't know what bike that was eitherI’ve already seen the new Levo, I knew this wasn’t it but was just stirring the pot but I didn’t know what bike that was. The Levo I saw did have the new X2 on it though, I said the new X2 looked similar to the genie shock but was told by another poster that it wasn’t similar at all. Turns out the genie shock and the new X2 use the same air can
If you've seen it, am I correct with side mount battery and smaller motor? Also the Fox shock aircan looks huge!

Agreed
I decided I was going to keep the Gen 3 when I bought it almost 2 years ago.
Everybody acting like iPhone fanboys spazzing about the new model.
The only time I could flip a bike every year and break even (or make a few hundred bucks) was when I was a bike mechanic for a LBS... And that was only because I already had a lot of money.
I could drop 10k on a bike every few years, but that's just financially stupid at this point.
And yes, the Gen 3 is still an amazing EMTB.
You’ve gotta believe! Everytime you say it doesn’t exist, a gen 4 levo motor dies.

And it's still more reliable than a 2.1 motor...
Great, now they will have to give extended motor warranty for first 100 buyers ...

Not sure about the externally mounted battery and exposed motor.

No. All Bikes with 8~~Wh. 280 extender and 600wh battery Pack is for the Aftermarket.
Maybe range extender for s-works. Like SL, i dont know.
What i know, s-works will become a fast charger. And wow, this charger is really fast
Bosch Bye Bye

Turbo Porto
Le tout nouveau Turbo Porto est bien plus qu’un vélo électrique cargo Long Tail utile et puissant de plus dans sa catégorie. Il est méticuleusement conç...
Wild speculation at this late stage, but could this be the new motor (described in a recent SRAM patent) ?
Apparently this is a Brose motor, and this type of motor can already knock out 120 Nm (the TQ HPR 120S). The battery could easily be different lengths and still leave room for a SWAT box in the downtube - and although this particular version has a downwards removable battery, this configuration would lend itself to side loading too.
Adding to the (unlikely) likeyhood that this is the Gen4 Levo motor, it is illustrated in a Specialized eMTB.
The centre of gravity would be much lower than most current eMTB's, hence the "Super meets Natural" promotion ?

Surely companies know at this point not to announce things on 1st April?

Interesting how quickly it disappeared again, someone losing balls out of fear

What's the difference to the Gen3 design apart from the smaller motor? Center of gravity wouldn't be much lower and side loading would raise it aswell.
I think dentists are allowed to write their own prescriptions in some countries
