Agreed I decided I was going to keep the Gen 3 when I bought it almost 2 years ago. Everybody acting like iPhone fanboys spazzing about the new model. The only time I could flip a bike every year and break even (or make a few hundred bucks) was when I was a bike mechanic for a LBS... And that...

Agreed. The SC just made their version of the Gen 3 with a smaller battery. Down to the Geo. Not an accident. Gen 3 is still relevant and I'm not going gen 4. Maybe Gen 5.

I will have had mine for 2 years this April. '22 Gen 3 expert S4 On second motor (First one sounds like it just broke apart on the inside), replaced under warranty. On second frame. Found a crack on the frame near the motor. Not impact related, some kind of void or imperfection in the...

Not to forget, KTM is $840,000,000 USD in debt. Maybe motorcycle pricing is not that realistic long term https://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle-news/ktm-restructuring-to-avoid-bankruptcy/

This is per the United States....ymmv I've had two Roval wheel warranty claims. Both were my fault. They even replaced a Roval Traverse SL rim I cracked riding through a rock garden. The other was rebuilding an Alloy traverse rear wheel after my derailleur decided to take out a bunch of...

Cheeky!

S4 I like it. This is a warranty replacement. I was not a fan of the Maroon color on the previous frame...and it didn't say S-Works on it 🙃

So. Damn. Ugly!

I don't dent rims. I managed to put 3 dents on the rear stock Traverse on my gen3 Levo. Built up a wheelset w/XM481 rims. Problem solved.

I use compressed air to blow that area out every once in a while. Positive data point: 700 miles/1126 km 2022 Levo Expert stock with 2.3 grid tires Butcher/Purgatory (the 2.6 stock tires too floaty) No issues (knock on carbon) Not unfamiliar with Turbo levels. Very rocky and dry riding in...

What Geo setting were you using on the Levo? https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-levo-geometry/app

That is significantly worse than what I used to get with my LSL1, especially at those power levels. Anyone else have similar experiences with range?

That Levo Pro build is pretty nice. One caveat, I hesitate to endorse the Gen 3 Levo because of the anecdotal reports of some people going through motors and X2 shocks like a hot knife through butter; however, I'm at almost 400 miles (which in reality is not much) and the motor and X2 are going...

Sure, that'd be great!

The 38 is impressive.

It definitely took some 'force' for lack of a better term. I did loosen the housing port bolt on the head tube a couple of turns. Also, the water bottle cage bolts thread into a housing guide for the dropper inside the frame. Loosened those a bit as well. You can see where that is if you...

I went with the Expert as well for the XO1 bits, the 38 Performance Elite and the Roval Traverse alloy wheels. They did cheap out on the cassette though - Eagle 1275 GX. Only $250 USD more than the comp's sale price, though I did work a deal for $7900. Hard to pass up considering it was an...

Rolling proof that there is no God...

Range extender brings battery capacity to 480 wh

Not a boat at all. I got fed up waiting on the new SL and when the Expert went on sale for 3k off, couldn't resist. Bike freakin' rips!
