Short story - more progression. Long Story for Levo SL -> https://cascadecomponents.bike/products/levo-sl-link For Levo -> https://cascadecomponents.bike/products/turbo-levo-link

What alternative universe are you living in??

A X01 cassette will last somewhere around 4-6k miles, where as a GX will get you 1500 miles if you're lucky. Also carbon doesn't have fatigue like steel and aluminum bikes. Some people may not notice (or care) about the ride/dampening quality of a carbon frame, but it's real. Then there's the...

You can have all three...reliability, functionality, and lighter weight with the Carbon SL.

Agreed, get a pressure gauge, more accurate than a pump gauge. Riding style should be taken into consideration. If you like to smash through terrain, use higher pressure (obviously). I run 22 rear/20 front most of the time, 20/18 in the wet/mud/snow. About 200 pounds / 90 kilos w/pack...

Have you tried bike shops? I know Spez restricts buying bikes over the phone and having them shipped to you, but not sure if this applies to components like tires, batteries, etc. I know Sport Systems in Albuquerque had at least one in stock a couple of weeks ago (and the connecting cable)...

The latest firmware update involved calibrating the motor while pedaling to refine the power delivery. Problem solved. The video you keep referencing to criticize the SL is over 9 months old (both videos above- early May 2020). Yes the Rise is a much better price for what componentry you get...

The geo is more progressive. The most significant difference is the Rise has a steeper seat tube angle and longer reach. They both have similar head angles (within .5 degrees) depending on how you set the flip chip. The SL has shorter chainstays, which I prefer. I wouldn't complain if the SL...

Nope. Maybe it was in issue back in May, but there have been at least a couple of firmware updates since then. Motor does not have the characteristic that you speak of.

They are Guide R levers paired with Code calipers. Plenty of power with a proper bleed. Had a Levo comp for a couple of weeks with these brakes. Also like the G2 RSC brakes on my SL. That being said, the 4 pot XT brakes on my Stumpjumper are by far my favorite (and the most powerful).

2020, currently at 150mm. Tried a 160mm air shaft, made the bike feel a little sluggish. Aftermarket 2021 DPX2. Sent it to Fox, they performed the '21 stock Levo SL DPX2 tune. Just got a '21 Stumpjumper (130mm/140mm), so am going to give the 160mm air shaft another go.

Sounds like you're enjoying the bike. How's the power compared to your previous Decoy? What kind of range are you getting? There's no dispute that my bike cost a lot of dough. 39.2#

The Levo SL's are actually on the conservative side when it comes to modern mountain bike geometry. The XL should be perfect for you. I am 5'9.5" 5'10" on a good day. I ride a large and it fits pretty well, but I wouldn't complain about 10mm added to the reach and a steeper seat tube angle...

Over the Spring/Summer/Fall I used one to supplement the main battery on the long 35-40 mile and/or 3000-5000 ft of elevation rides. Now that the big areas are snowed in (Albuquerque, NM), and riding the foothills of the mountains, most rides are 12-30 miles long. For this winter, removed the...

I bought an aftermarket new '21 DPX2 for my '20 Expert SL. It had a really light compression tune, was wallowing quite a bit, even with LSC dialed up and high pressure. Cascade link didn't help much. The '21 Expert SL comes stock with a DPX2, sent my shock to Fox requesting the same tune as...

Gotta step up to the $9500 USD Expert that comes with a Fox 36 and a DPX2. Everything below is a 34 and a DPS. It is a really nice bike though.

Only time I've ridden my SL set at 100/100 turbo has been on pavement getting to a trailhead. It's ridiculously powerful for being a "low powered" E-bike. Obviously FF bikes are even more ridiculous.

Looking forward to your evaluation and comparison of the Rise and your SL. Which model will you be testing? The M10, Mteam or the LTD? Can the rise just use the range extender? Yes, both top tier bikes can get pretty light with uber-light xc components/tires. Emptybeer built a SL- 31.92...

1792 miles on mine. Still going strong. Love the bike.
