Specialized has to have a great warranty, you are going to have motor failures. My 70 year old dad has had at least 2 fail. My group of 8 riders has gone through, not joking, 20+ motors. 8 of those are on 2022 gen3 Levos.
I ordered frame only direct from Finland, normal customer, normal shipping, no military. Missed original delivery and just picked up from post office 🤙
I have both a 38 and the new Zeb, and both are are super nice. Blindfolded I’m not sure I could tell you the difference. The old zeb was hot garbage though!
As a bigger dude that had a Gen 3 levo. I went through 2 motors and decided to sell the bike. Riding group had 7 new motors in 8 months all on the Gen 3.
I think shimano and Bosch are your best options for motors. Avoid Brose they seem to fail more with big guys riding hard. I’ve heard alloy frames act as a heat sync helping cool the motor, where carbon act as an insulator. Who knows 🤷♂️
Not that you can’t, just that they are designed for different attributes. Front tends to be grippier and better cornering, rear better braking. I enjoy running double Assegai 🤷♂️
I wouldn’t hold your breath for that date. Mine was supposed to ship over a month ago, paid for July 5th Ave only ordered a frame kit. Still waiting to be shipped…
Ran into these guys on the trail last year, they did most of their testing nearby. Bike looked super sweet! Would love to get info on it, but website seems hacked together and phone number Gus nowhere 🤷♂️
