Hopefully this makes things a bit easier for anyone trying to compare them, i am useless at spreadsheets so excuse any errors, i can email it to anyone if they think they can improve it.

THat is super helpful mate, thanks so much for putting that together!

 

[R120]

My OCD was unhappy with my previous crop n'chop screenshot attempt!

 

[vladimir]

What size is it @vladimir? I'm just wondering since there is a weld between the top and seat tube that in not present on the official images nor on @Brezza's black version...
Sorry for nitpicking

It's the base model in XL

Can you host it somewhere as an XL sheet Rob?

Can you upload it @R120 or link it to a google doc?

EDIT: Now included weights for each model, with the battery they come with - i.e Expert and S-Works weight is with 700wh battery.

I have not listed motor in the spreadsheet as this is same across range.

R120, where did you get the weight of the bikes from? EMBN said the S-Works was 19.5kgs but maybe that was for the medium.

For the 500Wh battery, quoted is for 700Wh which is ~750g heavier.

Don't know how to do that - i have emailed the sheet to you

They should have called the color "yellow highlighter" cause that's what it looks like in person. Very pleased with the bike so far (25 miles or so)

Beautiful bike. Have you tried shuttle mode? Curious if it works. Also, did they include the swat tool on the base model?

 

[Paul Carruthers]

2019 basic, second ride today 25 miles.
Well it was my fault, regarding my previous comment about difficulty in connecting plug, I’m a clutz.

Noise, not noticed it noisy, I previously had a Scott with a Brose and it sounds no louder.

Distinct hum from hubs on tarmac.

Mission control faultless and connects to bike rapidly in my opinion.

Happy days.

Bought from Edinburgh coop cycles Newcastle , great service by the way.

I haven't tried the shuttle mode yet but it does have the swat tool on the bottle cage.

Not sure if this is the exact item they put on the bike but very similar

Thanks to @R120 for putting this sheet together. Here's a downloadable 2019 Levo comparison spreadsheet:

Just joined the owners circle...

Amazing bike, certainly a step up from the old levo and everything I was hoping for.
I got a large, which feels bigger than the old levo large. I think the motor made a bit more noise, but I’m sure I was listening harder for it since all the chatter about it online?

Super nimble, fast and playful. The color is quite special, although better in bright light (unlike my photo...) now I need some time to dial in the fork and shock...

Somehow I missed the Georgia Leslie video talking through the new Levo features and models -

Amazing bike and welcome! Can you post some more photos when you can with some NZ scenery in the background. I know it will make me feel really homesick but it is what it is ?

You did well getting an S-Works, we have to wait until November I think. Enjoy and we’ll look forward to more feed back

I just ordered a 2019 womans Turbo Levo HT today for my wife. She is not a trail rider by any means so HT will do just fine and most importantly we can get some air in our faces together - In the end the decision was easy, I needed a extra battery for my longer rides and the poor specs will not last long as her bike will get my old parts when I upgrade my own 2018 FSR Comp carbon ?

Anybody knows if the 2019 can run with 27.5 and 2.8 tires?

Yes; from what I've read - the 2019 can run up to 27.5 x 3.0" tires.

Very cool, seems I have watched every video at least 3 times now. Can’t get enough

What was the delivery date on this? Thinking about ordering one for my wife as well.

 

[GunnyAmp]

I know I have seen it somewhere on the spesh site but cannot seem to locate it again. What is the max weight of rider on the comp carbon? Thinking of changing my order from the base model but weigh in at 270 lbs and don’t want to go over max. Any big boys riding carbon bikes?

I was told 3 days by my LBS as he informed that there were plenty of stock at the European distribution center in Holland.

2018 model is max 120 kg as far as I know.

That puts me over the line. Guess I will stay with the base model

You won't be missing much and you'll have some money in the pocket to spend it on something else...

Nice! I just picked up the same bike yesterday. The color is growing on me. Couldn't justify the extra $1000 and wait until next spring to get comp. Very happy with the ride and base components thus far. Only XL Levo my dealer in Minnesota is getting until next year!

Redwood forest, Rotorua. (Home of crankworks!)

picked it up today

One question to the 2019 Levo owners: Are you happy with the Buther 29 x 2.6 tyres, especially as front tyre? I bought a 29er wheel set for my 2018 Levo and I´m not sure about the tyre set up. There has been a test with the Hillbilly (front) and Butcher (rear) setup, but the new Levo comes with Butcher front and rear. Thanks!
