    Article Specialized Levo SL is a 16.9KG Super Light emtb

    exactly my thoughts...having owned both a 18 and 19 levo....im worried about being a early adopter for the SL. Gen 1 levo was heavy as a pig, Gen 2 was much better...Gen 3 (2019-2020) is lightyears ahead, in terms of geo, battery, motor

    eMTB, DH time is slower than reg mtb, need some tips

    i have a SB140, and a Levo Expert. On dh trails that have NO pedally sections at all, im significantly faster with my manual as recorded by strava. For the first few runs, after that fatigue sets in, and my ebike gets better timing. Even though my manual/ebike have almost identical components...

    weight diff. between 500 and 700w/h battery

    i ride a manual on weekdays and the levo on weekends...so when you switch back and forth, the weight difference is substantial. After i swapped out the battery, the diffrence narrowed

    Sigh. 2018 Sworks, battery and motor failed at 1200km - warranty covered and sold 2019 Expert, motor failed at 500km. Happened today, no signs at all..happily powering on a uphill,..then suddenly it sounds like a electric chainsaw on turbo sending in for warranty tomorrow. Sounds like a belt...

    Can I pick your brains again?

    if a puncture/cut is bad enuff that the sealant wont seal it...pump is pretty much redundant.

    levo know problems rant ....

    yes. thats my suspicion also..cos i could do the same trails on the 18 without the drop in power. I will monitor with the spez app motor temp next ride. Makes me wonder...this could be the reason spez left the rear of the 19 open to the elements, it was meant as a heat exhaust...but ended...

    Can I pick your brains again?

    diffrent tires have diffrent levels of 'soak'...so when installing brand new tires for first time, i tend to pour in extra 50ml to let it seep into the tire.

    Can I pick your brains again?

    yea, i just have a bottle of Stans in the cupboard and top up whenever. (which is very rare to be honest) My last set of tires...i wore out the tread before i had to top up. ie...i changed new tires when the treads died and it still had sealant inside
