I think if Shimano want to stay in the game they will have to release a wireless group soon. Or no high end bikes will have Shimano if they all removing the cable routing..... it's like a big F-U to Shimano
Specialized would never release anything that's backwards compatible.... goes against their business practices.
Let's see what comes .... will have to be somthing really great to compete with what's on the market at the moment.
Does anyone know if the SRAM Extension Cord for Sram Motor will work on the Levo since the sram motor is a Brose ?

If you on a lower firmware it works.
Mine was working until I did a firmware update on my gen2 and it stopped working.... they can make it work if your bike shop is willing to... most bike shops are not.
That Santa Cruz Vala with the 4bar is really adding complexity to my life. I think it's the best looking Santa Cruz so far.
Had an Intense 5.5, a Tallboy 2 and 3, and must say not a fan of the VPP link. This changes everything.
I see myself changing bike brands.
I did on both my Float_X to be honest I can't feel a huge difference...very subtle feel on the garage floor ... but on the trail I can't feel any difference between the extreme settings
I do recommend getting the Stainless steel 24t ratchet. my 36t only lasted a week, the 24t has been going strong for about 3 months now.
the 24T is ebike specific. even if you get a kit and keep it in your back pack. last thing you want it is it self destroying when you 20+K from home.

I think before they even consider releasing a new bike can they please fix the existing App .... or allow us to use the old one again. If the new app is any indication on the quality of the new bike I think I'll be moving away from specialised.
Ive gone the other way ... I have a gen 3 expert and ive swapped the 700 for a 500 and swapped the X2 for a x rear Shox, 38 for a 36, and now I have a lightweight mean racing machine...
I have never found that the bike in its default configuration has even been a limit to what I want to ride...
Ok..
There will be a 110 NM motor ... but will only be for the S-works. (with bigger battery)
They will all have same motor but performance will vary depending on the Tier.
This way those with many pennies can get the big boy motor and the rest of us get the lower powered version.
