I bought it from the LBS where i bought my bike. Luckily I bought it back in the summer while inventory was less of an issue than it is now from what i understand. I still had to wait a week or two I recall though.

I watched that video and in the comments, someone commented that it's easier to remove all 6 bolts and take the whole drivetrain (motor and crank) out and not bother removing the cranks. I tried it and agree...way easier than to remove 4 bolts, remove crank, and swivel to remove battery. That...

Yup! So much so that I ended up wearing elbow pads for a few rides after a couple of slide outs. I think my body position was just used to having some weight down the center of the bike and without it, I noticed my front tire was washing out a bunch. I've adjusted now though so i'm back to no...

The weight is on there anyway. Currently strapped to my frame are tube, levers, and CO2. On longer rides, I also carry snacks and a more comprehensive tool in my hip bag. It'd just be cleaner if I had a SWAT box to shove everything into.

I know a guy =). It was one of the first questions I asked the LBS before buying this bike..."can it be ridden without the downtube battery?". I'm in pretty decent shape and was seriously considering picking up a 2019 Stumpy (had 2015 Comp Evo Stumpy prior to this). When I saw the SL which is...

You mean "spend money on the last bike i'm going to buy"? =). I told my wife this is likely going to be the last bike I buy and that rather bold statement actually has a decent chance of being true. Geo numbers might change slightly but my 2015 stumpy's geo is still very much rideable. Weight...

I rode butchers on front and rear on my last bike (2015 comp evo Stumpy) both 27.5 tires. I had no traction issues. I had minions prior to that set and turns out it was probably overkill as I didn't notice any discernible difference traction wise after switching to Butchers.

Hey guys, wanted to run this by a few SL owners. I removed the downtube battery because I was finding that after most of my local laps, I'll still have +80% left over. I'm the kinda guy who gets annoyed when I pack 3 tshirts for a trip and only wear 2 (ie. I overpacked). I find it wasteful to...

I removed the downtube battery because I was finding that after most of my local laps, I'll still have +80% left over. I'm the kinda guy who gets annoyed when I pack 3 tshirts for a trip and only wear 2 (ie. I overpacked). I find it wasteful to carry that extra weight only to use a bit of it. So...

I WILL say that I think the range extender battery drains ALOT quicker. I feel like i'll do a quick lap or two and i'll be close or completely out of juice from the extender whereas I felt when i had the downtube battery, i could do the same two laps and i'll still have 80%+ left.

And i would add that i had a regular water bottle in the cage and not the range extender for the first few rides so it wasn't just 2 pounds net difference. It was probably closer to 3lbs.

Might be placebo or might actually be a difference but I would say it's definitely noticeable. So much so that I wore elbow pads for 3-4 rides as I had 2-3 rides without the battery where my front tire was sliding out. I was used to riding with the downtube battery weight and with it gone, I...

Yeah I did it a couple of months ago and have yet to put it back in. I'm been using the range extender whenever i felt like i needed a boost or need to get out for a quick lap. I honestly don't see a day when I put it back in. The only crappy thing of the range extender is having to carry your...

Yeah. I had butchers front and back on my stumpy (last bike) and felt it was much better

I upgraded to Fox 36 and SRAM Code R brakes before I even picked up the bike from my LBS so i have no idea how the 34 rode with the guide brakes but everyone says the 36 is needed and better brakes needed given the added weight of the bike. I have ZERO complaints. I would also suggest upgrading...

Has anyone else taken the downtube battery out? Wanted to get people's thoughts and comments on their experience riding the bike after. I'll keep my thoughts to myself until i hear from others.

Hey Aaron, picked up my comp carbon levo SL in March right before COVID hit which was a lifesaver. I rode a Devinci FF last season a couple of times when I borrowed it from a friend to see what e-bikes are all about. The thing was 52lb and you definitely felt the weight. If you tipped over on...

Hey guys, picked up a Levo SL before the covid madness hit and it's been a lifesaver. Anyway, is anyone else finding that the cap to the charging port pops open on rides? I've noticed it on the last two rides that i'll come home and noticed that it's popped open.
