My 0.2 cents. Everyone's mileage differs (Rider skills, Setup, trails ridden, etc.). 19 Levo comp stock fork = crap + flex = unsafe The real shock and (combined) setup is critical to get suspension kinematics working right and this means feeling / function / comfort of the fork. The biggest...

Aka 2019 Comp upgraded "Levo-K", Mullet or 27.5, F38/44/170mm, Ohlins TTX Coil/155mm, 220mm rotor front, One-up seat post and pedals, using both batteries: 700 (epic rides) or 500 (handles better). Gambling with speed and FUN. If the frame was carbon, it would have broken in 2 by now with all...

For the last few years, I've always favoured a mullet setup (first analog and now Levo). But I switched to 27.5/27/5 with 2.8 tires for winter and the mud and loving it. Cornering, traction and fun in spades. Can't wait to try 2.4's in the spring and may not go back to mullet. So another vote...

2019 Levo Comp with the following upgrades in order of making the biggest difference for my riding style focused on comfort and control for the technical and fast trails here in BC: Ohlins (climbing, comfort, even made the fork feel a lot better), Fox 36 Factory e-bike (150mm/51 offset - from an...

Follow up response from the Ohlins dealer regarding the TTX: The concern is for coil shock with an 8mm shaft like the older generation of FOX DHX2 and Cane Creek DBcoil. Ohlins has 9.5mm steel shaft diameter, it is a shock coming stock on multiple Specialized models so you are good to go. Just...

I have deleted my anecdotal post since I do not have any specific info to add. To clarify, it's the Öhlins dealer that has set up the shock and will "back it up" . I do not have any factory info to validate either the functionality or reliability of the shock. It would be useful, and for my...

Np, glad it helps. Let me know and I'll do likewise after I get there to ride.

Hey Kinger, I've not been up there this year yet, since Covid happened. Last year most acoustic cyclists were accommodating or indifferent to riding my Levo, basically didn't care (except some positive comments on the hills!). Note that it is private land and the land owner does not permit...

Works well on my '19 Levo after using it for over 300km, although I would say the stock seat is really comfortable, but the Ergon is better.

HI Tom, Cool. I was hoping to ride Squamish in April but cancelled my trip. I rode the dump over a week ago was open, I sometimes just ride from here on the trails and roads to get there rather than use the car. Send me a note to: [email protected] Cheers

Hey Tom, Thanks for your note. I'm in Langford and can hook up for a ride at the Dump or something. Cheers, Chris

Fun, humorous, political, prejudice, experience, geo... it's not about the bike! As a long term 29er fan, well before it became fashionable, it suited my riding style for many years focused on cross country. Modern geometries have corrected a lot of the monster truck handling issues, but not...

Converted to Moto. Fox 36 44mm offset, high position, 2.8 27.5 back/ 2.35 29er front... can't wait to check it out this weekend! Maybe too narrow on front but then I'm preparing for all the wet weather & mud to hit Vancouver Island this winter. (I can wait...)

With the 2019 Shock Float DPX2 Performance Evol 210 x 52.5 from a Specialized Stumpjumper Pro EVO 27.5, I found the shock bottoming out (190 lb rider, 240 lb air & set on trail mode; open was too progressive) as it has a medium spacer installed as part of the factory tune. A large spacer was...

@Chubba - Couldn't agree more, thanks! Yes the Levo has made me a better, more confident rider, conquering obstacles that previously meant walking... Next: checking out the mullet conversion which was completed this week. Enjoy the ride!

Finally, putting the nuts & bolts away, and this brand vs that. Yes depending on geo, the major Brands all offer good options and support/service. No mention of either Norco or Kona, but likely only an option for North American customers. I did consider some Euro brands but was informed that...

Yes, agreed. E-bike specific and more aggressive enduro-type performance suspension needs to evolve for a 45lb+ bike, rather than under gunned and marginally preforming products. This product development will potentially benefit all types of riders and both e- and non-e bikes.

On my Levo Comp, I also found the Revelation harsh and lacking performance. Although I did not check or resolve these known issues or play a lot with set-up. The lack of stiffness and adjustability would always prevent the best feeling, performance fork so I decided to move forward with a 2019...

Hi Channing, Good to hear from a fellow newbie in BC! I'm finding lots of good things to say about riding my Levo as it's quite a different experience. Yes riding Cumberland last weekend was pure enjoyment and hard work too.

Thanks everyone for the likes and happy to be part of the forum.
