    Other JUST DROPPED: All-new Slash+ e-MTB

    50s in, comes in mullet but a flip chip allows full 29. Definitely keeping an eye on the price now. If there's movement in the top end model Ill probably buy it.

    On the bullshi* grapevine. You know how it is.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Is there any merit to the rumours I've heard about a ~90nm brose being fitted to one of these?

    I don't think they really know and its finger in the air. Tell me, if no frame clearance issues exist what exactly is the problem with removing a travel spacer? I can only assume the idea was to get decent mid support out the rear suspension system to generate speed on. My Levo at 150mm feels...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    Is it high progression or something I didn't see the figures? What's the big deal with over stroking a shock? Removing a travel spacer won't affect the first 90-odd % of travel behaviour. Genuine question, not going on the defensive here. e/ I read the thread, seems a contentious subject on here.

    Is that not basically a Bullet (whatever its called) then??!! Still think the Trek Slash + is the ebike for me until I look at the price. Anyone over stroked the rear shock yet?

    Does this thing fit a 29er rear (unofficially of course)? Cant believe the price tags on it. I do want one but there's no way I'd spend the current price tag on one for the better spec. Own an enduro so the KSL is option 2 like many others I think. But the enduro rear end can be chattery so...

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Is there some sort of check list that exists for dampening rattles on the Gen 3 Levo? Had a motor and battery replaced earlier in the year and slowly trying to diagnose a horrendous rattle that occurs over braking bumps. Fork and shock replaced, all bearings good, all linkages tight, the...

    Yeah something like £11k for the top spec is nuts actually. I'd prefer to pick up the Kenevo SL at sale price.

    Yeah, always something new coming out. I don't think SLs. Are quite there yet, although Rob Rides revent video showing the up and coming options from dji and zf are really impressive.

    This is kinda what I want to replace my Gen3 Levo. Non-clevis style rear suspension, decent suspension travel, silent motor, 50nm so you're forced to put some effort in. Good range. Only other bike I'd consider would be the Enduro Kenevo SL, but I have an enduro already. The DJI and ZF...

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Had the chainstay replaced under warranty as well as the battery and motor and some other bits, which is a result because the motor was gritty and inconsistent and probably 4 months out of warranty. Definitely sticking with the Spesh brand now, especially the concept franchises as my nearest...

    Hope so, I got the occasional cracking noise but not very often, assumed it was the derailleur.

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    I never resolved it no. It annoyed me so much I barely ride the Levo now since about 6 months when I got an Enduro. Fact, I've kinda gone off e bikes since owning the Enduro. I'm currently replacing all bearings on the levo as i write this. The cascade linkage has slipped a bearing and the big...

    Levo Gen 3 Shifting rear bearing in link

    Came to contribute and say thanks as I've found this during a bearing replacement. My cascade link has done the same, bearing was on an angle. I've used the retaining compound mentioned here. Will see if that helps. Bikes ridden poorly for a while so hoping this is why.

    Ebike slow?

    Thanks both. My guess is bearings under load I cant think what else it might be. They spin freely on a work stand though. Tyres and wheels are heavy- DD and Hope Fortus 30, but I run these on my enduro and while they are slow rolling they don't feel so draggy that its a problem. The Levo for...

    Ebike slow?

    Random one, and appreciate this may come across as a troll or half term post. Had my Gen 3 Levo for 2 years. I've gone back to leg powered bikes recently (a 2022 transition patrol @ 170/170mm and a 2022 Enduro @ 180/180mm). Similar builds across all 3 bikes, same tires and wheels. Still take...

    Levo Gen 3 Suspension and Coil shocks for Gen 3 - Fox 38 vs Zeb

    Just an opinion, its not like I'm riding a salmon with its tail flapping about everywhere its just got some flex in it that's all, there's nothing wrong with the bike. No secret they eat coil shocks is it. Further rides out on the Cascade link, it honestly just feels like you'd expect. Ramps...
