I know of a few LBS in Europe who are accepting informal reservations (no cash advance) for the new Specialized turbo Levo. They have unofficial information from the importer that the new Levo will be presented on September 30th. Delivery only in October/November for S-Works and Pro, perhaps for...
The weight difference between the DJI motor (2,52Kg) and the Brose Drive³ Peak motor (2.9Kg) doesn’t bother me if that means a more reliable and more silent motor.
But the 468Wh Brose battery (+-3Kg, or 156Wh/kg) compared to DJI 600Wh (2.9Kg, or 207Wh/kg), Shimano 630Wh (2.9Kg, or 219Wh/kg)...
A 600wh battery makes sense for people who weigh up to 65kg and are in better physical shape. This person will probably be able to keep up (range) with a person who weighs 95kg and is in worse shape but has an 800Wh battery.
Any information regarding the size of the motor and its orientation...
If we just replaced the TQ motor and battery with the DJI motor and 800Wh battery, the Slash+ 9.7 would weigh 22.1 kg. Wouldn't it be great for a fullpower, a trek Rail?
It probably wouldn't be that linear due to some necessary reinforcements that would lead to an increase in weight.
In the last 6 years we have seen the evolution from a 500Wh and 3Kg battery to a 600Wh and 2.9Kg battery. Basically they kept the weight and increased the capacity by 100Wh. I believe that in the next 6 years they will be able to define 600Wh as the ideal battery for SL Bikes and reduce the...
That is the weight of the current Levo CARBON COMP with the 500Wh battery. I believe that the new Levo could easily weigh less than 21Kg with one of the new 600Wh batteries.
Difficult/challenging times for the people responsible for developing the new Levo/Kenevo, new developments and new trends every 6 month.
IMO, Levo GEN4 should have 2 battery options, 600Wh and 800Wh, weigh around 20Kg (600Wh) and an EVO version with more travel weighing 22Kg. The motor should...
The Enduro bike has disappeared in some of Specialized European sites and in the US site there is only the Enduro Comp (25% discount) and the Expert (30%)

"Leafing through the archive, the Enduro is now four years old, the Stumpjumper Evo is three and a half years old, and the Turbo Levo is nearly three years old. Which (3 years in...
Will Specialized also enter this Full Power SL segment? A new Turbo Levo Full Power SL?
Cannondale Monterra SL
"Moterra SL is the first 160mm/150mm trail bike to pack 85Nm of torque, 600W+ of peak output, and 601Wh of power into a machine weighing as little as 19.5kg /43lbs."
Now that we´ve entered the year in which Turbo Levo Gen 4 will be presented, what month will it be?
GEN 1
July/2015
GEN 2 - 3,2 years after GEN 1
September/2018
GEN 3 - 2,5 years after GEN 2
March/2021
GEN 4 - 3 years after GEN 3?
? March/2024 ?
Some stores are aiming for September, I...
