I am very impressed with the RideWrap kit, Definitely worth the 100 bucks and shipping was super fast.
16 pieces, fits great, but not easy. The matte kit adds some sheen.
Haha!
The whole bike is bigger and burlier than my gen1. The front feels heavier and higher and I can feel the slacker head when maneuvering the bike in the garage. First pedals around the driveway felt fantastic; comfortable, smooth, fast and quiet.
I like the color. Looks a little brown...
My 2018 levo comp was $5300. Looking back that was a good deal for GX components.
I wonder if we will look back 4 years from now and think 11k was a good deal for the expert.
Picking mine up today from LBS. !!

Key facts:
• Output:12V/24W, 2A max.
• Green port: front light

I don't think I ever bought a new bike and said to myself ,"Wow that was a great deal!"
Yes. Very classy too imo with all black components. I'm happy they restrained themselves from plastering the downtube with a giant "Specialized" decal like on the regular stumpy in the video above.
I offset the cost and semi-guilty feeling of having something extravagant that I don't really need by buying a less expensive car.
I love my dodge minivan, 2 bikes wheels-on fit inside easy and its totally invisible to the police. ha!
On my gen1, I cover my plug with duct tape every ride to keep the thing from bouncing around and wearing out. Guess i will be continuing that practice ;P
Black is classic and raw is cool but i think it should be all raw black.
