Some interesting comments about the intention of the Levo SL with the Specialized folk:

Naturally the SL has been compared to the Levo FSR/Brose in reviews etc. That’s understandable but can anyone who’s ridden plenty of Shimano E8000 bikes (@Rob Hancill ? 24kg like the YT DEcoy maybe) tell me how the SL might compare there? I spend most time in Trail mode as it adapts to the...

Agreed but I think this as close as it’s going to get to a representative test for us northerners. The next step is a test ride. I’m willing to bet that given the lauding of the new sealing this is going to be better than the Brose Levo and there’s plenty of those about.

Try the German magazine links I posted above.

Can an Apple Watch be used with Mission Control to drive the HR features? (I’m not sure Blevo can do this either).

If you get chance have a look at Rob’s video Fazua etc is addressed in there. Also in this video review: Specialized Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon | First Ride Video And yes, Specialized do seem to have their fans!

Of course, it’s completely mental! The UK prices are less of a shock than I was anticipating tbh.

Honestly, I have to admit, after this thread I’ve done a fair amount more reading prompted by the comments and I’m much more convinced as to their future. I’m not convinced by the cheerleading in this thread but there’s some fair choices being made at Tesla. Thanks for the sensible input. I’m...

Nice review Rob. Stunning quality on the video too. Oh, the compromises but then anything pushing limits will play with those. The chain stay and the lower weight front sounds great. The reach, well I kinda like a long-ish reach but this isn’t that bike (needs an Evo version ?).

I did the same. In terms of keeping warmth I layer up.

That’s very interesting @knut7. I did some digging and it appears a few others do this too but the Tesla combo seems unique.

My point is explained clearly in the post about operational performance. This illustrates the nonsense of looking purely market cap to assess value. I’m struggling to see why you’re offended so much by another point of view.

Mature. Show me some graphs. No, please. This is a sensible discussion. Don’t be ‘that guy’.

Apple would be dead now if Jobs had not returned. You won’t find any analysis that would disagree with that. You can relate this to Tesla too. Successful US companies are a mix of charismatic front/sales and an ability to operationally deliver. As much as Cook gets slated he’s why Apple are huge...

Another aspect to this debate. When Tesla routinely deliver 2M vehicles in a quarter (112,000 is the Tesla level) like VW then it’s made the big league. Musk’s bonus is dependent on figures like that (as well as the nonsense market cap). What Tesla is, to me, first and foremost a battery...

I actually have more respect for Tesla than my posts might tell you. In many ways treat their stock like a tech company.They have pushed boundaries and forced others in a complacent auto industry to consider a different future. The quoted iD Buzz article above is from nearly 3 years ago. VW...
