Such a nice color. I was forced to go with a boring black with red letters.

3rd bestThanks, Rewdood is the best 2021 Levo Comp color.
Maybe even 4th behind just not getting a Levo at all.

Hello all, I just wanted to say Hi and introduce my new 2021 Specialized Turbo Levo to the group. I have had the bike for a few months and just wanted to say how much I love it. I have put a few hundred miles on it thus far and it has been all smiles. I made some minor adjustments like changing out the pedals, and adding front and rear fenders as well as a 50mm Vibrocore handlebar. It rides like a dream once I took it to a local bike shop and had them add air to adjust the front suspension and rear suspension to handle my weight. It glides down hills like cloud. If you can get your hands on one I highly recommend it.

What handlebars are those? I've had my 2021 Turbo Levo Comp for about a month. I find the handlebars a bit to wide so I will probably either cut them down or change them. I'd be interested in trying a setup like yours.

No c*** model for 2020 he'd have to jump to the expert okay
I have a down payment on a base Levo due to arrive in February. The same shop has a Levo Comp available. I have been out of MTBing for 15 years or so and I am behind in all the latest technology. One of the big differences is the battery and that I understand. However not to sure if the Fox suspension and Shimano group is much of an upgrade over the Rockshox and NX group of the base. With the price difference between the two, I could buy a 700 battery if I determine I need it especially if I would sell the 500. Is the extra $ worth the upgrades on the comp?

Suffice it to say... yup.
The single most glaring weakness in the base model is the TurnKey (TK) damper in the fork. It’s a total POS by modern standards, and you will want to either upgrade the damper (you’ll need to find out if this is even possible; I only have experience upgrading a TK damper to Motion Control on another model platform) or the entire fork. Even with an upgrade to a Motion Control damper (assuming this is possible with the 35 Silver; RS’s steel-stanchion’ed forks often have a different tube thickness and threading that precludes dropping in a damper spec’ed for their higher-end aluminum-stsnchion’ed forks), the Fox’s lowest-end GRIP damper (what comes in the Comp’s fork) still works much better.
The SLX group is at Shimano’s price-to-performance sweet spot for many components. The NX group is all below SRAM’s price-to-performance sweet spot.
Also, see this prior inquiry.
Levo Gen 2 - Comp sold out, upgrade standard Levo?
Hi everyone, new to the forum. I had my heart set on a 2021 levo comp but its sold out at LBS and only standard version available. My choice is to wait 2+ months or get the standard Levo and upgrade it to a 700w battery. I'm 56 and have been riding a road bike (Spech Tarmac SL7 Pro) for almost...

It's a tough call and I had to make a similar decision back in December when I finally opted for the 2021 Turbo Levo Comp black/red.
I had originally had my sights set on a Marin ALPINE TRAIL E2 as I have a Headlands 2 carbon gravel bike (analog) which I really enjoy. But E2 won't be available until late August 2021 and with the state of things currently even that may be a long shot. So I decided I didn't want to wait that long and started searching again and considered a Cube as the LBS had a 2019 (I think) Stereo Cube Hybrid 25% off but was an extra large so no go as I'm a medium. Then I turned my sights on a Levo. My choice was going to be a base Turbo Levo and I wanted it in green. After spending many hours looking to find a 2021 base TL in green in stock I started to truly understand the current state of the bicycle industry. But my wife had mentioned to her boss my hunt for a new bike and it turns out he's buddies with the owners of a LBS and gave me the purchasers contact info to contact her directly. I gave her what I was looking (base 2021 TL in green size medium) for but she told me that it could be late 2021 (or later) before they would receive any new inventory. But she did say they had a 2021 Turbo Levo Comp medium in black/red in stock. Figuring this could be one of those now or never, I drove down to the the LBS and picked up my 2021 Turbo Comp black/read medium Dec 24 2020. So now I have a bike that I don't need to upgrade and I don't have that "If I had a better group set or if I had a bigger battery or should I upgrade to better suspension" voice in my head.
The only future upgrades/changes I'm considering will be different tires, handle bars and grips. Which I probably would have consider regardless of which bike I ended up with.
Ultimately I'm glad I went with the Comp and have no regrets. I now have a bike that I can ride virtually anywhere all year long and
I've put around 300 km in the month or so that I've had it.
Just installed my new Öhlins m.2 fork... can’t use it yet as my front wheel won’t fit ?
I have the base model which came with the Rockshox 35 fork. On this fork it seems Specialized used the Rockshox specific 31mm torque caps on the hubs which don’t fit. Spoke to Specialized and they helped me out with the new part to adapt my existing front wheel.

I like the Öhlins multi chamber air spring design. However the other driving decision was based on my experience with their products in the automotive world.
