I have been running 29x2.6 Maxxis Assegai 3C/MaxTerra/EVO up front and DHR2 3C/MaxTerra/EXO+ in the rear for a few years now. For where I ride in northern CA, they are perfect. However, the DHR2 does not come in a DD casing in 29 X 2.6 and the EXO+ cut pretty easily. I am over blowing out $110...
When in SF do yourself a favor and go ride some of the fire roads at the Marin Headlands. The views are fantastic:

Yes but I was hoping for some local intel. Seems like land access is an issue up there...aka....The Gianni trails. Small group that has gained access to private land but you have to be a member...blah blah. Annadel Park is the best option but thanks RustyIron
I will be near Monte Rio camping next week and was wondering if there are any trails in that area worth riding. All Trails says it is Sonoma Coast State Park. Does anyone have any intel to share?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone know if Monterey/Carmel is EBike friendly? I have ridden the Fort Ord area years ago on my acoustic.
I have family that just moved to the area and I am looking for trail advice. Thanks in advance for the intel.
This bike is 11 months old and I just got my 4th motor installed under warranty.
When I got it home and on the stand I noticed that there was a lot of sound and friction when peddling with the motor in the off position. It almost seems like the motor is built too tightly (if that is possible)...
I run Maxxis Assegai 29 2.6 WT 3CT/EXO/TR in the front and Maxxis DHRII 29 2.6 3CT/EXO/TR in the rear. I ride Northern CA where it can be steep, dry, and loose. The Assegai is super grippy and hooks up quickly while the DHRII has a small slide until it transitions to the outer lugs. I ran...
I spent a lot of time with the team at Galfer when looking to upgrade my stock Levo brakes. Here is what I went with.
I am running Galfer 203 front and rear with Shimano Saint M820 brakes. You will need to add the correct brackets. I cannot imagine ever needing more power. Make sure you go with...
Great review as always Rob.
Hate to compare but I can get this Ducati for the same price as the S-Works.....ouch!

Waiting for YT to drop their new ebike, For now happily riding my 20 Levo.
I have been riding one here in California for a few months now. The 2.6 is REALLY quite large. I wish I had gone 2.5 for my Turbo Levo Comp. It grips for days!!! Stickiest tire I have ever ridden.
Well.....just blew my 2nd motor on my '20 Levo. It was the latest and greatest with all of the improvements and firmware....I am fortunate that my retailer had a motor in stock which was slated for someone else but turns out they did not need one....should only be down 3-4 days. Still, its a...
I have a 2020 and on my second motor. My first failed after less than 3 months and 450 miles. My new motor started making that same grinding noises as yours around mile 300 which was right around the same time that the FW came out so I took to the dealer. After the update the grinding stopped...
