First ride today and really enjoyed it. Definitely a more comfortable descender than the Gen 1 which was no slouch. I didn’t go too crazy first ride as I wanted to get used to the bike, but it seems to eat up the Trail. I have started 29/29 as it suits where I ride but I will keep my eye out for...
Cheers.
I’m not sure my shock will move at 248psi but I will take my shock pump with me. I cycled the shock as I pumped it up but could well need more once it’s ridden and settled.
Anyone willing to post their weight then shock and fork pressures. Stock fork and shock.
Would be good to get some feedback for tweaks.
I’ve set mine up today and will go out for a spin later. Started at 80psi fork and 180 psi shock. I’ll see how that feels/works. I’m 83kg kitted
Fair enough. I’m sure it was neater on my Gen 1😂
I guess by the time it’s attached to another cable it shouldn’t start coming out. It’s quite a long cable!
I’m not getting this am I😂 So it doesn’t really clamp it as the cable diameter is pretty small, or, back of the actual connector pushed into that slot?
My Gen2 SL is now built but needs a firmware update that can only be done at a dealer, so taking it in tomorrow. I did think that it was all over the air now though.
Anyone had success securing the Mission Control cable in the frame port securely.
It suggests cutting the tab off the one that is...
Anyone running the bike full 29er? I’m going to start that way as I think it will suit my riding better.
I just need to order another XX rainbow chain I think as in 29er mode it it’s likely to be 118 links. My new ‘take off’ chain is only 116.
Should then be riding later this week!!
I heard that stock is going to be very sporadic. There will be some in the Autumn I believe and then some more early next year.
I was told that parts supply is still of a bit of an issue on some models hence some delays. This bike will run for the usual 2-3 years. I also think Specialized have...
Maybe you have a couple of fast KSL’s!!
The gen2, by all accounts, is noticeably more powerful than the Fuel Exe which also claims 50NM.
I should have mine built very soon so will be able to compare the Gen 1 and Gen 2 LSL.
That’s interesting. The MTBR test, which is pretty reliable, showed that the new SL climbed a one mile test climb 50 seconds quicker than the Gen 1 and that has the same motor as the KSL.
Maybe it’s just the feel that disguises that a bit.
Unless she’s into very technical and steep trails the Levo SL is more suited. It’s also got the more powerful motor which will be a bit quieter. Both great bikes though.
The Levo SL is basically a very capable bike anyway. 150/160 travel so basically a Stumpy Evo with a motor.
A few people are reporting that it’s not as quiet as hoped, how are you finding yours after a couple of months of ownership?
Mine may get finished this weekend!😃
Shame it isn’t noticeably quieter than the Gen 1 when under high load. All the reviews have suggested it is but when I heard Rob’s video of the review I could still hear it, that’s for sure.
The Trek is very quiet, easily the quietest around so you’re very unlucky to be riding next to one😂. It comes down to what your priorities are I guess. I prefer a better all round bike but it would be nice to have it all.
When MBR did his review you could still hear that the SL was noisier than...
Interesting re the noise. I previously had a FF Levo that was definitely quieter than the my Gen 1 SL. There does seem to be a slight variance in noise of these motors.
I’ll have mine built up oveR the next week or so it will be interesting how mine is.
Reliability of the Mahle motor is the...
