I might be late to the party, but my post developed a creaking noise very quickly, and I feel it would be helpful to share my experience with others.
The creaking noise occurs with every bump or weight transfer. In my case, the noise isn’t coming from the saddle, seat collar, or the aluminum...
Hello,
Had the same "Click" noise when i was squating the bike after a quick crank rotation. Very similar of what u described here. You can see my post and the resolution here : 2022+ Turbo Levo - Turbo Levo Gen3 Sprag bearing/clutch failure - FIXED
The problem and sound was very similar to this...
Had a very distinct "clac" (metal on metal) noise each time i stopped pedaling, 90% sure it was a sprag bearing issue.
Engine replaced under warranty, fixed the issue. (Gen3 Levo Comp Carbon)

Update (Problem FIXED)
I picked up my Levo today after 3 weeks of immobilization, the bike is now perfectly quiet as it should be. It doesn't matter the terrain or what I'm doing on the pedals.
So it's confirmed it was coming from the engine (sprag clutch/bearings probably)
To be clear about...
Mine comes from Germany but i'm living in France, the bike was inspected by an official Specialized concept store in France
Damn, they should give you a batch of motors when you buy a Levo :oops:
Did the motor replacement fixed the issue at least temporarily ?
Oh ok, Is that the part you are talking about ? >
I had little knowings about bearings so I gathered some information about the sprag bearings in the Brose engines on different sources and found that "Performance Line Bearing" articles and videos is a very usefull source to understand the...
The thing is, the motor do exactly the same noise when it's on off. So even in the case of if i'm activating the drive slightly, on off mode it shouldn't catch up like this with a clunky noise.
But i've to admit still today, the bike shop and me neither has an exact idea of what causing that...
Update:
I contacted Specialized Rider Care support yesterday, explained the problem and the exchanges I had with the local Specialized store.
They contacted the shop and sent a brand new engine, they also waived the troubleshooting fees.
So I have to say : Amazing support from the...
If it's the same problem, the noise has become more and more frequent no matters the roughness of the terrain you ride on. It's now always there, it became louder and louder and very distracting.
The noise is exacly like you described : something hitting a metal stop inside the motor.
I would...
Hey thanks for the reply,
Could be, but i guess i would feel in the pedals the motor rush or lag.
And the keypoint is that the noise is also here when the motor is OFF wich almost invalidate all the potential sensor problems.
Its not an occasional noise or something very quiet, its loud and...
Update :
My local Specialized shop acknowledged that is has to come from the engine (inside) which seems to be obvious now that they have dismantled the whole bike exept this.
But i've a feeling that i'm not done yet....
My Specialized LBS don't have another motor to make a test so they told...
