Hi from New Zealand, 2019 Turbo Levo

[Glen]

Hi all, coming from New Zealand. Been riding a 2018 Stumpjumper carbon comp for the last year but daughter is leaving me behind so bought Turbo Levo.
I actually ride it motor off for 98% of rides as I'm in no rush and enjoy the exercise and forest, but every now and again when even first gear gets to be to much or I want a little treat, it's so cool being able to just add15% assist and feel like a 20 year old again. (58) or add 30% and feel like superman.
Anyway, love the Specialized Turbo Levo. Totally excellent.
Cheers
Glen
(700 km and on second charge)

Welcome Glen.

Awesome bike to have to only use its capabilities 2% of the time. That is some serious self control!

Don't take that number too literally ?

Welcome to the group, I am heading over to your part of the world in a week, unfortunately won't be any riding as I am on a cruise.

I didn't spend much time there. Flew in to Auckland on second visit to NZ, saw friends, watched rugby, bought a car and drove to Queenstown a couple of days later. Do love NZ. Friendliest people in the world!

Wow, Auckland to Queenstown is a big drive. Did you stop in Taupo or Rotorua by any chance?

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Certainly did, both. Jumped from 15k at Taupo and who can forget stinky Rotorua

Sorry to hijack / bump your thread, but If any kiwis are in the market for a 2019 s-works Levo in small, there’s one at cyclezone in Rotorua on the shop floor....

Otherwise 4-5 month wait!
