FORK: Suntour XCR 140mm
SHIFT LEVERS: Shimano Acera
RIMS: Sunriglé
REAR SHOCK: Suntour Raison 200 air
etc...

Price: 8700 euros.
That would be over 12,000$ canadian like 14,000$ including taxes
If you call that a bike i do not know what language you speak but it sounds like gebrish.

He is joking. Obviously the new kenevo has 200mm boxxers, sub 20kg carbon frame and a thumb throttle.

I asked him if they got in trouble for the photos and had to take them down. They just replied "No foto"

Some rumors said they are all dead by now. Specialized is serious about leak.
By the way, a Fox 36 is really a nice thing on this bike. Don't know we must buy a S-works or Expert to have this.

E-Bike Fox 36 is only really 34mm though. Mind you buying a Levo is not really about spec-watching - you have to buy into the idea of the package at that kind of money.

What do you mean Ebike 36 is only 34? I never knew this, would i be better to get non ebike 36?

Also keep in mind that only the 36Factory e specific has the latest GRIP2 damper whilst the 36performance especific has the GRIP (from 2015) not even a fit4.

Only the manufacturer can request a performance Elite e specific with GRIP2. like in the case of YT Decoy

I don’t think you’ll find that’s true. Specialized have told me on the phone and confirmed in writing; they do not fit the e-bike specific Fox CSU, only change is the damping. Their forks are 36, with 36 internals. They state, they have not had one failure on an e-bike since their original models. They are now lighter, and will only get lighter still, so no need.

If what NSFRACING28 said is true, I would expect to get a E-bike specific fork that is designed for a e-bike. The additional forces from the additional weight is to be taken seriously when bombing down a hill especially when the fork manufacturer states it as in the post above (Mitch1808). Also which of the 2020 Levo's that have a Fox 36 come with a Grip 2. To me this also matters as to get the best performance out of the Fox, either Grip 2 E-Bike spec 36 or I wouldn't buy because how much $$$$.$$ Levo's are. I sure hope Specialized aren't pulling the wool over their customers eyes with this marketing ploy.
