Ohlins TTX22M Coil Rear Shock - 210 x 55mm Metric
I used tf tuned's spring calculator (be sure to read carefully for ebike factors)
Levo SL is a "4 bar" style suspension

If you weren't in Europe I'd offer to sell you my Ohlins since I'm selling my LSL. I think Rockshox is fine for durability but the Ohlins has a more compact piggy back. I've been running the Topaz Gen 3 for about a year, really like it, water bottle/range extender fits in on my medium fine.
A coil shock is more linear than an air shock, so for your issue I would recommend a better air shock than the stock Fox float or coil. DVO Topaz Gen 3 for example or Float X or similar where you can really dial up the progression easily. If you really want to try a coil, get a progressive...
I agree about the motor and battery, 540W + EP8 is the better of the options you mention, more power and torque and more juice on hand than others. On my Rise I have 160 fork, Cascade link + the 160 mullet rear travel mod with 8.5x2.5 shock. Set up like this is very noticeable in terms of rear...
I have a Rise and a KSL. When it comes to park riding and burley stuff, the KSL is much better. KSL is pretty slow and lethargic on tight singletrack, not really a "do-all" bike IMO. Relay is tempting however the issue I see is weight, will easily be a few pounds heavier than similar build on...
I always keep a back up for most things. Rims break, waiting around for the part is on you. You invested $18K (cough, cough), surely you have the budget for another wheel or a rebuild on another rim for the time being?? If you value your riding time, a few hundred bucks for repair or...
Cascade link stiffens the rear end on the Rise considerably, you will notice it immediately. 2022 Rise M20, medium, mullet, DVO Topaz 216x63 (imperial 8.5 x 2.5), Cascade link, 160ish rear travel and 160mm fork. No issues with fitment, rubbing or otherwise, over a year of riding this way...
The downside to Relay to me is weight, especially if you're talking PNW model (w/coil). KSL is realistic at 43 lbs with proper tires/air shock including pedals. I think a Relay with proper tires and air shock (including pedals) would still be over 44lbs or more, PNW you can add a lb for coil...
Orbea Rise LT? Now with the stiffened frame should be an even better descender in rough terrain but still livelier than KSL or Relay. Shimano motor on my 2022 Rise has been super solid and as a bonus can be ridden full power just requires good battery management (sans RS software). If buying...
I'd like to see a 540W with new cells and available right away 252W Range Extender with new cells. A bit more travel to make it more of a trail/light enduro, 160/160 or 150/160. Also would like to see them beef up the frame just enough to take the flex out of the current model. Cascade's link...
Just out of curiosity, what model year KSL's are having this issue? Looks like a 2022 or 2023 Expert in original post. Earlier was mention of a "batch" of KSL'S the issue affected...would be nice to know the manufacture dates or series of serial numbers potentially affected...imagine yours is...
On the other hand you could have a 1.1 motor like I do on a LSL, 4 years old and 5500 miles and still working well. It's a buyer's market right now so selling used means a significant loss. Warranty is only 2 years so unless you are in the habit of buying/selling eventually you might have to...
If the bike is within warranty they will take care of it, all you have to do is insist upon that this happened and you don't know why. Could have not been tightened properly from the get-go and slowly came loose until the point it is now noticeable, and maybe too late to fix without replacing...
I had this happen on a LSL but was because the crank wasn't tightened to 50NM for a period of time. The thing to be extra careful about is the spindle on the motor, it's alloy not steel so play like that will ruin the spindle as well. On my LSL they had to replace the motor and crank, since...
Yes, back when this happened the battery was replaced and also the tcu and main wiring harness. The dealer was very cryptic about the actual problem, i.e. they didn't really know what specifically failed so just started replacing each part one at a time. I think it was probably the tcu that...
