22 Gen 3 Levo - The cleaned posts.

[cuaion]

The S-works and pro both are shimmed to 30.9 from 34.9 . The expert comes with a standard 34.9 dropper. Post #2 for more info.

Nothing obvious. Why do you ask?

I do have a order on a expert, comes with 34,6mm dropper, and I want a axs, so I just wondered if the sworks/pro was same size in frame, but with a shim. You can see the shim if you take the axs dropper out.

Yes. It's been discussed already. The S-works and pro are shimmed. The expert is not.

Understood. I haven‘t taken the dropper out yet. Invisiframe going on this week, so will be stripped down then to make life easier.

Oh! was looking, but did not find it! Just want to know what size to order, where I live there is 15% price differince on the 30.9 vs 34.6

Can you post I picture of the shim? Want to get one as close as possible

Fair Play..... looks a helluva bike. Solid review as well Rob.

The TCU, especially that microtune, look like valid, great upgrades. Having IP rated TCU and Battery connecter can't hurt either!

Will be interested to see how the Expert & Comp models look.


As with everyone else....... "that pricing tho..."

How different is the 2.2 motor from the "upgraded" 2.1? It has a very similar form, and looks like it might be retro-fittable to 2019-2021 models.

Based on the video I just watched I am HAPPY to report the 2.2 moter is THE SAME as the updated 2021 motors that feature the thicker belt. They changed its name to a new name "2.2" for tracking and inventory and repair purposes. Prior to this change the only way to tell if your bike had the newer updated motor with new belt was by the serial #. I have the 2021 turbo levo expert and my motor is smooth as butter and whisper quiet. I LOVE my motor and fully understand why they did NOT try and improve on it. Its the best part of my bike!

Overall very impressive package here - this coming from a SC Bullit owner. Specialized seems to have a slight edge with the motor, battery, and electronics compared to EP8. But for me the biggest downside of this Levo is the 150/160 suspension. This doesn't make it as suitable for bike parks as the Bullit with 170/170. For me double duty as a downhill bike is a must. Also, the motor bulge in this bike is absolute huge compared to Bullit and EP8 which is very slim and also works in light eMTB category bikes.

IMO The motor on my 2021 Levo which they now are calling the 2.2 is quieter smoother and as strong or stronger than the noisy shimano 8000. I rode along side of one and mine was superior and made me happy that I had it over the shimano IMO

Just been testing the 2026 Levo

(I got 20 of these totally limited edition launch vid kits to give away next week)

From a distance it looks like a (mule car) pre-prod vehicle tested in public.

Close-up, the details are amazing!

Excellent method to disguise your last year model and make it look like new again.

Here is one in the real world. The 2020 is mine and my buddy pick up a 2022 today.

I think your right , just watched a review that Sam’s did on the gen 3 (Sam’s bikes ) and he said that the 2.2 motor is compatible and any warranty claims for failed motor now get this 2.2 motor fitted

 

[InRustWeTrust]

Have people who bought gen 3 robbed a bank or how can you afford it? : D, I could buy a car for the money. it is a nice bike for sure but for those money naah .

And in Good news today .. they've finally moved the 220,000 tonne beaver dam from the Suez Canal, so the delivery of e-bikes to European shores can continue !

Suez Canal: Ever Given container ship shifted from shoreline

The Ever Given has been blocking one of the world's busiest trade routes for almost a week.

www.bbc.com

Well, I say continue, they have to jiggle it a bit more at high tide like a fallen e-biker in a muddy puddle.

Then it will move to a waiting area further up. So if your Summer garden furniture or ebikes are on the Ever Given, you still might have a bit of a wait whilst they check the hull.

That looks cool. You can't even see all the air bubbles!

 

[Zimmerframe]

Motor is sweet.

It's ok .. I didn't want one anyway ...

It just keeps sliding further down my list ..

Looks good : -1
High Spec : -1
Low weight : -1
Adjustable : -1
Handles well : -1
More motor upgrades : -1
Possibly more power !! : -2
Free wrap set if you're quick : -1

I definitely think it's safe to say that as this is an electric mountain bike forum, I'd rather spend my money on 100 Casio G-Shock watches.

Moderator note : For those of you confused by this (reporting...) .. He's being sarcastic after some users said they'd rather buy a rolex instead of a Levo. Most of those posts were moved to the other thread.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Ooops sorry. Am I being watchist ? What's wrong with Casio ? You know you can pay $70,000 for a Casio.

OK, I'd rather have 5 or 6 Levo's depending on the model, but I'm not going to say that on the watch forum am I !

 

[Zimmerframe]

There's nothing worse than getting bored and buying things on amazon.

The reviews are funny anyway

I love this bit :

Which one did they start with .. Uhm .. 33 bucks , I might look like a cheapskate, wonder if I should jump up a bit to 200k ? Or was it the other way round .. I really fancy the Patel Philippe Nautilus, but what's the OLMECA really like ?

 

[EMTB!]

Anyone notice Spec changed sizing and moved everything up one? I have an S5 which originally showed reach at 502, now shows 477 which the S4 showed previously Somebody is going to be super pissed!

They started the newer S sizing when they released the new Stumpy last year. My old S sizing was a S2 but with the new S sizing, now it’s a S3.

Looks like they fixed it
S4 is now 477mm

I got that, they just moved the S's over a spot and it changed what was previously posted. Looks like it's fixed now and back to what I thought I bought.

I noticed their size chart on top of page is no longer S sizing. Changed to xs,s,m,l,xl

Hi! What do you think about a kenevo 2022 release? Is a possibility?

 

[rydeezie]

Hi! What do you think about a kenevo 2022 release? Is a possibility?

Sounds about right
Same 3 year cycle so it would be a 2023 Kenevo

gen2 levo came out as a 2019 and the gen2 Kenevo a year after. Gen3 2022 levo and expect Kenevo a year after
