    Brose S-Mag E01680-100 vs. -200: Real Hardware updates ?

    Thanks 🙏 Could this new belt be an improvement regarding lifetime compared to the already "improved" actual rubber/carbonfibre belt ? Or does brose just wants to get away from greasing the squeaking thick rubber belt 😀

    Brose S-Mag E01680-100 vs. -200: Real Hardware updates ?

    Hi there, I rode my first S-mag with endnumber -200 in the Levo. After 4 S-mags this is the first motor which is comparable silent as the previous Alloy Drive S and also has no cracking sound from the sprag bearings at the first kilometers as the others partially had. While the Specialized...

    There's a bushing or sleeve in the bearing of the swingarm which also connects to the frame. The motor and the motorbracket has to get out before the bushing be punched out to the inner side when i remind me correctly.

    Another Brand designing with 90% Speci Turbo features 😆 - Yoke-Horstlink with Asymmetric Shock Position - TCU in frame - And the Painting They should offer an Upgrade bolt-on Sidearm Kit to get full Kenevo/Levo Level

    Levo Gen 3 Why does Specialized not use the e rated 36 or 38 fox forks on their Levos?

    normally it should be the same setting in the compression-side for Bio vs E. The compression damping should not be dependant from the weight. Mainly Terrain&speed = impact-speed which are moving the unsusprung masses have to get controlled by ipactspeed-sensitive compression daming Of cause the...

    Levo Gen 3 Why does Specialized not use the e rated 36 or 38 fox forks on their Levos?

    The Fox E rating uses lighter compression damping stack. Perhaps somebody in the bikeindustry defined that E-Bikes are more comfort-oriented and not performance/speed-oriented than normal Enduro Bikers 😅 You compare the tunes on ridefox.com Interestingly Speci doesn't use the...

    Levo Gen 3 Stripping the Alloy Frame to Raw.

    Looks like the main frame is ball burnished by Speci to surface-strengthen it. My old Kenevo also had a ball-burnished main frame but no pittings on the rear parts. I see the same on your parts.

    Ok, that's 1,25Kg from your S5 Alloy to my S-Works Carbon S3. Perhaps the S-Works is a lighter frame built than the other Carbon Comp/Expert Carbon frames ? Has anybody the weight of them or knows if there's a weight difference in the carbon-types ? Best regards, Chris

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    1:1 comparison, Frame to Frame without Shock. I was also a little shocked about the high weight difference because i heard from 700-800gr. I had a Kenevo gen2 in the exact same parts configuration with the same weight as my Levo alloy now has :/ If the high weight of the Levo Alloy is also...
