    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL vs Orbea Rise **edit update**

    The power delivery on my SL is smooth as silk. I had my LBS do the firmware update shortly after I purchased it in August.

    Has anyone bought an Ebike without riding one ?

    I was in the market for an ebike last summer. I wanted the lightest ebike on the market, so the clear choice for me was a Levo SL. My LBS did not have any in stock to ride, but I ordered one straight away. I've put 700 miles on it since August. Best money I've ever spent.

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    I weight-weenied my Levo SL to 35 lbs. Sold my Stump jumper to help pay for it. So I use my SL as an analog bike or an ebike due to the relatively light weight. One bike is all I need.

    Levo SL Gen 1 SL for spouse to keep up with me on my analog bike?

    Mountain biking with a less-experienced, less-conditioned wife? If it's anything like skiing, count me out :)

    Levo Gen 2 Another Guide RE problems thread

    Ditched my RE's after the first week. Never been a Sram brake fan. Went with Hope tech 3 E4s with Hope floating disc rotors. (Levo SL). Soooo much better.

    Good point. It's kind of funny how some people have gotten suckered into the Rise marketing regarding weight.

    Levo Gen 2 Levo vs Levo sl dilemma please help

    I ride a mountain bike to stay fit, have fun, and be in Nature. 98% of the time I ride alone. I am in good shape, 64 years old, and weight 155 lbs. I test rode a FF Levo. Not for me. Coming from a 25 lbs S-Works Stumpjumper the weight was a non-starter. Plus the power was WAY more than I...

    Levo Gen 2 Can I adjust bike size from M to L with longer dropper and 40mm riser h/bars?

    Longer stem and move your seat back all the way? That's what I did.

    Levo Gen 2 Faster rolling tyres recommendations please

    That's true I would not recommend them for heavy mud.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    Yes that's what happens. I was a little confused because the manual says always turn the bike off before plugging or unplugging the charger.

    When I plug my bike in to recharge, it turns itself on. I think the manual says it should be turned off when charging. Anyone else have this issue?

    Vittoria Mezcal is extremely fast rolling and perfect for fire roads and light trail.

    Levo SL Gen 1 2021 levo VS 2020 sl

    Tried a FF Levo, bought a Levo SL. Reason being (1) I'm in good shape and want to stay that way (2) I occasionally need to lift my bike over gates and carry it up some steps (3) I preferred the SL weight and geometry on switchbacks and technical stuff.

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    Riding only 35% assisted up a steep climb on my SL is noticeably easier than on my 26 lbs. Stumpjumpber. For me it's all about taking the suffering out of steep climbs. Also, with some carbon parts, including wheels, my SL is under 36 lbs, so pedaling unassisted is easier than on a stock SL.
