Also, while you’re stripping, is the TCU the same as the Levo or have they revised the design to make it more weather proof? They make much of the IP rating of the new motor would be an oversight if they didn’t get this right at the same time.

But Matt, Specialized have changed eMTB for ever according to the press I’ve read! ;)

I take wheels off, put in a bike bag, put wheels in bike bags then slot into the back of my RS4 Avant. This is a bit of a pain for every ride. I’m going to swap the RS4 for a T6 Caravelle soon. I’ll make a fork holder for the rail tracks these have in the floor. Then just front wheel off. I...

Had a look and for the full fat 2019 Levo the figures are here: 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo info and FAQ - EMTB Forums

Isn’t it something like 700g difference between alu and Carbon on the Levo?

This question is a little off the topic but in terms of lightweighting the Levo FSR/SL, is removal of the Swat tool the low hanging fruit it appears to be? The tool and housing is quoted weight around 213g, surely taking this out and replacing with a Hope Head Doctor would save 170g? Can anyone...

For quick weekday evening blasts on the trails this would be the best configuration :) Marco Sonderegger from Specialized describes how to quickly drop the front bolts of the motor to pull the internal battery in Rob’s interview with him at 8:30 onwards. Specialized Levo SL - Is the motor...

Before you strip it, what was the weight of the bike with tubes? Is it a large?

Isn’t the old adage that it’s £1 a gram to lose weight? Mind you, comparing apples to apples then I think the pricing on these could be more shocking (apart from the S-Works models of course).

Thanks for this. I’m just considering switching to a Specialized from a Shimano e8000 bike. So perhaps best if others respond to this. However, the Apple Watch HR function is pretty good so it’s mainly this I would like to access. The control would be via the iPhone.

18.7kg as I think the 160watt extender is 1kg. That sounds low for the S-Works full fat Levo but if so that’s impressive.

Yes, I’m pretty confident no incline will be a problem in my case. Just slower and maybe being more conscious of cadence (which matters less on the SL compared to the e8000 anyway - Specialized pride themselves on the flatter torque curve - see Rob’s interview with Marco Sonderegger here...

16.95kg for S-Works. 17.7kg for Expert Carbon. (I expect this is with tubes in). Expert Carbon source: Specialized Levo SL Expert Carbon on test – mountain biking will never be the same! | ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine the S-Works is here: Exclusive review: New sub 17 kg Specialized S-Works Levo...

Do you know if the Apple Watch is supported here? I expect not but it would be nice to confirm.

Ok I can answer my own question here for the Shimano e8000. The reason I couldn’t is that I’m 5 weeks post major operation however went out for the first time (light duty!). Anyway, in case anyone else is interested. I fired up Stepsunlocker and adjusted Trail and Eco modes to 240 watts, 35nm...

“The Turbo Levo now features 5 different modes, Eco, Trail, Turbo, as well as two further modes which are accessed directly from the Mission Control app, Stealth and Shuttle.” Does anyone know if this still holds for the SL? What’s Shuttle mode like? I’d like to know the extent of the...

I’m about that size. When I was in the market for the Levo I demo’ed the medium. It was a little small for my tastes. I think large might be more fro my taste at least. It depends how long you like the reach. What’s the reach on your current bike?

I have Trail set to low and I’m light so are you saying that the SL would be like Shimano’s Eco mode all the time? I’m not sure that holds does it?

That’s a great video @Rob Hancill. Very interesting to hear the vision behind the bike/motor and the engineering challenges and decisions made.

Anyone? Or is it only the spesh-heads in this thread ?
