    Levo SL Gen 1 Eco vs Turbo - difference with the same settings

    @Specialized Rider Care Can you comment on the algorithm that seems to make the bike perform differently with Eco and Trail using the same settings?

    Levo SL Gen 1 2021 Levo SL

    Let's play at a mental exercise: Anyone care to estimate what it would cost for components to take the bare S-Works frame and build up to the Expert spec?

    Lights for my Turbo Levo - Lupine SL Brose Installation

    I also have a 2016 Levo FSR. I was able to get the handlebar switch and cable from my LBS for about US$80. They are also often on eBay. You will need a firmware update before it will work, but it is a huge upgrade.

    Eagle AXS system on 2019 Levo?

    Next time you don't need to replace the hanger, just adjust it using a Park Derailuer Hanger Alignment tool. Even a new hanger should be aligned properly for the best results. I use the tool on all my bikes as the hangers seem to get bent quite frequently.

    Levo Gen 2 new motor = reduced assist on hot climbs

    It does sound like a classic thermal throttling mechanism. So either: 1 - The firmware has been changed to make the thermal throttling more noticeable or activate at a reduced temperature threshold. 2 - Your motor is hotter than your previous motor. Either a bad motor or poorly installed...

    Levo Gen 2 2021's are out here in CA

    There are no Comp Carbons YET, or there will be no Comp Carbons for 2021? That would be huge, leaving a big jump from the Comp to the Expert...

    Levo SL Gen 1 A Change of Levo - new things and a better bike - Revolution not Evolution

    I demo'd a Levo SL Expert this week and used my Garmin 510 from my 2016 6Fat Levo to record my rides. The Garmin found the speed, cadence, and rider power outputs and they all displayed and recorded perfectly. I used LightBlue on my 2016 Levo to remove the 20 MPH restriction. In 2018...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Firmware Update

    I want to point out that in my case, the largest Specialized retailer in California charged me US$50 (and 7 days of the bike in their possession) for a recommended firmware update. An OTA update would have been very welcome in this case.

    Used Bike Advice Please

    As the owner and rider of a 2016 Turbo Levo I'm going to respond to the OP's original question with this: I watch the eBay prices for these bikes like a hawk. First off, are these US$ or CAD$? Big difference lately. Assuming US$ and that these are FSRs (full suspension): The 2017 for $1800...

    Need a new dropper post for 2019 Levo!

    I was told by Specialized that the Command Seat Post is NOT covered by the bike's warranty. They said these are a "service item" like brake pads. On mine, the seal was sucked down into the gap between the inner and outer. It no longer functions. Needs a service. But the shop said that the...

    Does this make sense ? (E-MTB mode on Levo)

    This is a very useful table, but where did the data come from? As an engineer and 2016 Turbo Levo owner, I've always wanted this data. My question: How does Peak Power come into play here? If you keep a constant Cyclist Input Power, it appears that PP only moderates (reduces) actual motor...

    levo know problems rant ....

    I wanted to replay to all those saying things like "Spesh will sort this out and support you": Yes, until your bike is exactly one year old. After that their only explicit obligation is to sell you repair parts. How much do you think these parts cost? Cable, Motor, Battery?

    Check your linkage bearings

    So let me ask: How many months / miles would be a good service interval to inspect / replace frame pivot bearings on a Turbo Levo?

    Levo dealer diagnostic help.

    @Maastricht: At first I was intrigued by what you reported: Connecting an old battery to a new motor allows the changing of the wheel circumference. But then you said when you reconnect the new battery that the change is reversed? Is that what you said? That's too bad, cuz it looked like a...

    Levo dealer diagnostic help.

    @Swissrider: These firmware versions are actually the same. The new app just reports in Hex as opposed to decimal notation. 10 decimal is A in Hex, and 23 decimal is 17Hex.
