I have had a Levo and a Levo SL. First the Levo for 2 years then a Levo SL for 2 years. I have no idea of your weight, but for a smaller rider the Levo SL has power to spare. I can ride the Levo SL faster than the Levo on trails because I can handle the weight. I am 115 on a heavy day and have...
On the Fuel EX-E you may feel this with acceleration set at max, this is what I found. Setting acceleration to the middle absolutely no feeling of shutting on and off, just smooth assistance.
The XS is available in Salt Lake and New Mexico. But remember this is the aluminum model. Carbon is small and up. You could easily build a carbon small with 27.5 wheels at 36 lbs.
Specialized dealers are being very cautious about “ordering “ but an option is to search on the specialized site and call the dealers with them in stock and ask them to ship it to your local dealer. Specialized allows this.
Maybe the best option is to get a small and put some 27.5 wheels on it and reduce the front fork to 140. The Levo SL could handle 27.5 x 2.8 tires, heck I sometimes ride my small with 27.5 x 3.0. Put a one up dropper on it and shim it so the collar is at the seat tube collar, when she is in a...
Do you mean an app like Mission Control for Specialized bikes or Belevo? I think the new TCU of the Specialize bikes lets you change assist right there also. But maybe this is not what you are talking about, sorry if I am confused.
I agree that assistance can be confusing because Specialize uses a 1-100% scale for a more that gives you 1-200% assistance. So as mentioned before 50% assistance is a 1:1 assistance, 1 watt motor 1 watt you.
Enjoy your bike!
In Mission Control you set Assistance AND Peak power. Assistance is the percentage of your effort it will give you (50% is 1:1 match, 100% is 2 motor:1 you). Peak power is how many watts the motor can give you at your set assistance. The motor can give 250 watts but the peak power can be set to...
I will check on my Garmin tomorrow and get you distances elevation. I am thinking when I go 25 miles 2500 feet I use about 50% of the main battery. My setting are typically 25/100 30/100 45/100. I ride eco with a little trail. I will get the exact numbers for you though. Today on the creo bike...
Range is not an issue. In my experience I get about the same range as a levo with a 500w battery and with the range extender it is similar to the range of the 700w battery. You will go slower up on the SL but range is very similar. I often put the range extender on for longer rides, say 35+...
As a 5’6” 115lb female who had a Levo for 2 years and now an SL for over a year, my vote is for the SL. At your size the geometry on the SL is much better. The short chain stays and lighter front end let the bike come alive in technical terrain. On a small there was no way to lift the front of...
The Ergon Core Prime SMC seats are amazing. They do everything Ergon says they do. I tried one to help with long days on the emtb with a heavy backpack and now have one on every bike.
The purchase date information should be recorded with specialized when the bike is sold. Sounds like Rock and Road is just messing with you because they do not want to help.
The extender goes limp home at 20% but I could imagine if you are attempting to draw a large amount of power suddenly from just the extender it may balk at that. The only reason to ever drain the extender first is if you are going to drop it off and pick up a new one.
Nope! My husbands large carbon is 37 lbs, bigger frame and heavier bars. We use a hanging Park Tool scale. Do you have an aluminum SL with stock wheels, handlebars, tubes, stock dropper, and NX cassette. With those components you save 6 pounds
