The Scandinavian EMTB guy said the Gen 3 Levo felt very similar to ride to the Merida E160!
The changes I made to my Levo Comp ( !60mm fork with no sit down/riser bars/additional spacer under the stem) did require a little adjustment of riding position for optimum climbing but not huge. It still climbs better seated but with the saddle half slammed and me perched on the nose of the saddle ( I left the flip chip in the low position). I can imagine it would not take a lot more to mean having to lean over the bars to keep the front down.......and probably lose rear wheel traction as a result!
So if I went mullet I think I would go to high on the flip chip.
High position on flip chip .
And the difference between 2.5 Maxxis and 2.6 Schwalbe is noticeable for ground clearance .
