Does the Levo Comp lock out?

[Lazy Biker 84]

I've been slowly getting used to my turbo Levo, mainly by abliterating all my local Strava hill times ? Then I realised I hadn't looked at my suspension closely. Can the Levos forks be locked out? If so, I can't work out how. If not......... well I guess this post becomes redundant! ?

If I turn the blue dial all the way clockwise until the stop point, the forks seem to be locked out on mine (a Levo Comp).

Hey Steve, maybe im just being pedantic but when I do that, I still get a bit of movement. Don't get me wrong, it does stiffen right up but all my previous bikes lock solid.

You dont want it to lock solid it will be firm but it will still blow through if you take a big hit

 

[SteveVentoux]

Yes, that is my understanding, "virtually" locked out but if you hit something worthwhile, they will activate.

Nice, thanks guys.. I guess locking right out for climbs is a thing of the past where e bikes are concerned.

I see no real benefit in locking out forks? Might just be me?

It's just cycling up hill as efficiently as possible, but where e bikes are concerned, you're probably right, there more than likely is no real benefit.

With decent geometry and suspension design, you don't get much pedal bob. I lock mine on tarmac if I remember, but generally then forget to unlock it. Kenevo descends surprisingly well locked out!

Yep it all starts out good.. ie locking out on tarmac then unlocking but at the end of the ride it's all gone by the wayside!!!

I use to lock out the rear on my Vitus on the road, but don't bother anymore as i cant notice and perceptible difference in performance.
