Levo Gen 3 Damage to Carbon Frame

[kurturbolevo]

Hi community members! I wanted to get your thoughts and opinion on the damage I have to carbon frame on my 2022 turbo levo pro. Not much else to say. Have posted two photos. I guess my question really is how bad do you think the damages? My local dealer has ordered a replacement for around $300 US. Won’t be here till late October. Should I not ride it or do you think it is safe in the interim? Should I skip the replacement and just repair it? Appreciate your thoughts

I wouldn't ride it like that, you would risk damaging more expensive parts (you) ...

Yeah, that's broken all right. I wouldn't expect it to survive much more riding. Have you looked into having it repaired? That might get you through until the replacement arrives.

I also wouldn‘t ride.
The carbon structure is damaged and not stable any more.

I would look into carbon fiber repair in your area. Doesn't have to be pretty. At least you can still ride till your replacement gets in.

Sorry but this is the reason I personally wont buy a carbon frame, if you had that stack on a alloy bike you'd only be touching up the paint work. Or am I missing something there apart from the whole lightness thing, even though we have a motor?

Had something similar on my Levo. But it was some fucktard who drove into it while it was on my bike rack, while I was stopped for coffee.

Riding it like that could be dangerous to you and the rest of the bike. It sucks but I'd get the new part to be sure to be sure.....

I see a crack in one of your photos, that can become a catastrophic failure.

Can I ask you how did you damage it?
