Just rode the Levo SL Expert, I actually like it better than the current Levo. It climbed better with half the the power and I just felt faster overall.
They will have two aluminum models and 3 carbon models.
The Carbon Expert I rode had carbon wheels and an eagle drivetrain.
I took only one picture of it, but I won’t post it until the 4th

4th of February?
Official release date is February 4th
Wow, sounds amazing. Did you throw it on a scale by any chance?
I thought the Specialized motor only has around 1/4 the power of the Brose? Maybe I mis-read that as half the power would be worth it for the weight savings. I hardly ever use turbo on my Levo.Man Ive been lurking for much of last year.. always waiting on a new bike or just about to pull the trigger and something new is always just around the bend, I'm guessing this will be the norm for a few years as tech gets better and better. These lighter weight bikes are going to be huge game changers in mountain bike world imo.... there will be a point when weight and price make it near impossible not to buy over standard bike for most people.
The motor is 40NM but it has a different tune than the Creo Sl so it will initially have more punch from a dead stop.
The Expert in large weighed 38.5 lbs
The battery is 320wh but you’ll be able to use the same range extender that the Creo SL uses

I’m so buying one! That sounds great.

That's awesome! Geo same as current levo or leaning more modern (fingers crossed)?
First batch will be next week and then April for the US dealers
Any info about the range of this bike? Should be much worse than a regular turbo levo no?
I would guess about 65% of the range at equal power. But probably more due to it not assisting as aggressively.

Surely if you add the range extender you will only be back up to the same weight as a normal levo?

Definately something coming from Specialized on Tuesday, must be big if they're getting people to South Africa for the launch, (little) info at beginning:

Trails in South Africa are superb ?
With a range extender I think it would have similar range. Even if you run out on the trail, it pedals almost as good as regular bike.
The range extender isn’t all that heavy
It’s not inexpensive.

You there now Rob?
Are we looking more than comps? I'm tempting a comp or to save and get a YT Decoy.
Please tell me I can now fly with it using just an extender in hand luggage?

Shame I’ve just dropped a small fortune on a Trek Rail 9.9!
This sounds like it’s exactly what I was looking for - just a couple of weeks too late.
Will see what happens on the 4th Feb... as I’ll still be within my 30 day swap period then.
