@TomH79 - how did you end up going through 3 FF Levos??

@Murch - The SL Comp I tested had FOX RHYTHM 34, not Performance Elite. I wonder if they downgraded for 2020. As I understand it the Rhythm is similar chassis but different damper/adjustments. Maybe the differences are minimal on-trail.

@Murch - Did you get the Expert Carbon? I rode the Comp Levo FF with the Lyrik fork (35mm). Seemed ok - not all that different from my Fox 34 Performance Elite. I too, at my weight, much prefer a stouter 36mm fork if possible. For a FF bike though, it begs the question if I should just go...

Thanks all for the advice. Unfortunately none of the LBSs do long-term 'rental' demo test rides where I could get it out on the trail. I have a feeling that would help immensely. My local shop is smack in the middle of urban Wash DC - so I'm scrounging up a test loop as much as I can with some...

Honestly I don’t regularly exceed much more than 1000 ft elevation gain/loss on RidewithGPS. But still my knees tend to take a beating. Cardio I can address with breaks or going slower, but knees tend to just limit the time/mileage. Sounds like my main goal might be only half addressed by...

Lol....damn, I'm nearly 2x your mass! Point noted. I have a feeling I'd be tapping deep into the Brose 1.1 motor support much of the time vs. the 2.1/Shimano. Funny, the first guy at my LBS was saying "Oh, definitely get the Levo" as advice for a heavier guy. Then the 2nd sales/tech fella at...

Why do you say particularly for heavier folks? Do you just mean in comparison to the Levo 1.1 motor or just in-general? I'll need to see what local bikes have the Shimano. Looks like Trek Rail 7 is Bosch. I've just read that the Shimano 8000 is noisier and on youtube vids comparing vs. other...

Thanks for the LLLogic! I'm going the e-bike route primarily to save my knees. It's not as much cardio (though I'm not extremely fit). Knees are pretty knackered after even 1-1.5 hrs of hard trail riding. They just give out at some point and I won't even ride back-to-back trail rides. Road...

5'10" - Rode a Large and seemed right. My Jeffsy has just 444mm reach, so 455 on the LevoSL felt long enough from what I'm used to. I don't see a 'max rider weight' spec in the Levo SL manual. The general Specialized manual states 100kg max for all models! But then caveats that some models may...

Shopping for an e-Bike. I'm 260 lbs and looking for any experience or advice you folks might have on the Spec Turbo Levo vs Levo SL. I test-rode both yesterday in urban setting (park/stairs). I like the toss-ability of the Levo SL, but didn't feel as confident powering some of the gnarlier tech...

Is the Spec Turbo Levo SL ridiculous for Clydes? Shopping for an e-Bike. I'm 260 lbs and looking for any experience or advice you folks might have on the Spec Turbo Levo vs Levo SL. I test-rode both yesterday in urban setting (park/stairs). I like the toss-ability of the Levo SL, but didn't...
