Does anybody have any info of the Spesh lineup for 2023? I initially wanted to go for a Levo Expert but now have the cash for a Pro, which I really dig, but I'm concerned to order one now and then in one or two months they'll release an updated version. I know usual lifecycle with Spesh is three...

Sounds good, after all the faulty motors and the sheer masses they produce, I would not be surprised if Brose would gradually improve their product to satisfy Specialized as their customer. As Brose is in the automotive business for decades, I would not be surprised if they have an automotive...

That was well hidden for me :LOL:

Guess not too many of EMTB riders on this forum will or were ever racing at the Red Bull Rampage, that's just a handful of riders from the whole world and not a representative group. Don't remember anybody racing the Rampage on an EMTB either. For reference it would be better to look into...

Always used SPDs on the trailbike and flats on the DH and pumptrack bike the past 25 or so years. I see neither a downside for SPD on the trailbike nor an advantage for the flats. You just need to get used to both and learn how to use them. My GF got into MTB three years ago and I got her SPDs...

For me, a removable battery is a must and the easier the procedure the better. I'm not scared that the battery would be stolen out of the bike, hence the thieve would much more likely be taking the whole bike instead of just the battery. Both would be covered by my insurance, so it might be even...

Which is quite a good offer I could live with.

In Austria (20% VAT) the yellow 9.8 XT is at 10.600 now :eek: but probably I'm dumb enough to still buy it :LOL:

No, you're implying something I never said, that's mainly because on a forum you can not hear how I would say it, I'm always open for discussion, that's what I came here for, didn't want to start a grudge. Of course we should talk about the bike and it's capabilities but what I was aiming for...

Including the discussion which followed... It's XC, no it's not, blue trails here are black trails there, where does Enduro end and Downhill start, etc. The only way to find out what kind of bike is really capable of dealing with your riding style and your local trails is testing and talking to...

Who cares in the end? Definitions of XC, Trail, Enduro, etc. are very blurry, often mixed up and defined differently in different regions/countries and continents. Go out, have fun and adjust your ride to your local trails and preferences.

Initially wanted to get a Levo for next season but the reviews of the EX-e got me hooked, still have some time as currently working abroad but gonna pop into my LBS in November, hopefully they will have one available for a testride or at least a display bike, the 9.8 XT would nail it for me...

Would you consider testing a Mullet build with stock supsension? Could imagine some people would like to see that.
