    eMtb weight and lower back ?

    I'm grateful my emtb only weighs 35 lbs when I have to lift it over a fence, put it on a bike rack, or haul it up stairs.

    Lightweight builds

    Levo SL is the lightest frame, mainly because it's motor is lighter than the Rise.

    Levo SL Gen 1 2020 S-Works Levo SL vs 2021 Expert Carbon Levo SL

    S-Works will have better components than the Expert. That's why it costs more. They are listed on the Specialized website.

    Levo Gen 2 Specialized-Bashing -- Give-it-a-Break

    I have 1,200 trouble-free miles on my Levo SL. Couldn't be happier this bike. The only work I've had done was to change the brake pads.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Aluminium levo sl lightweight builds

    The wheelset on the alu and comp carbon is very heavy - plus 2,000 grams. You can drop well over a pound with carbon wheels. Also the stock tires/tubes are very heavy. And as someone else mentioned, the NX cassette is a boat anchor.

    Article Can you trust an eMTB Motor in 2021?

    I've got over 1,000 trouble free miles on my Levo SL Mahle 1.1 motor. Haven't read about any motor failures for this motor on here. I'm hoping I lucked out. But the 2 year warranty is reassuring just the same.

    (Some) EMTB weaknesses and possible solutions.

    I ride a Levo SL, which has half the power of most Emtbs. When climbing steep hills in Eco or unassisted, I welcome having a 50t cog. Probably wouldn't want or need it if I was riding a FF Levo.

    Levo SL Gen 1 sl motor noise level does it bother you ?

    Ideally, I'd like a completely silent bike, including a silent rear hub. But I can live with the sound it makes. Plus I ride unassisted on anything but steep climbs anyway.

    Anyone Ridden Both an Levo SL and Orbea Rise? Looking for Power Comparison

    In this video he shows off a 31.9 Levo SL. It is still the lightest emtb platform.

    Is OFF the new ECO?

    I think all this talk about riding unassisted needs context, namely, what ebike are you riding? With carbon rims, lighter tires, etc, I've reduced the weight of my Levo SL to 36 lbs. Basically, the same weight as an analog enduro bike. Another thing is drag. The SL motor decouples in off mode...

    Anyone Ridden Both an Levo SL and Orbea Rise? Looking for Power Comparison

    You do understand that the SL frame (carbon) is lighter than the Rise, right? This is mainly due to the fact that the SL motor is lighter and the battery is smaller. So with the same components, the SL will be lighter than the Rise, and it will always beat the Rise in a weight weenie contest. My...

    Suspension Lockouts, does anyone actually use them?

    Yes. Climbing steep hills on my 36 lbs. Levo SL, which I ride in Eco mode @ 35% assistance, or no assistance at all.
