Just moved up to 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo from 2017 model...

[AdamDuckworth]

And just joined the forum! The 2017 was a Levo FSR Comp with the 3inch fattie tyres, the 2019 is the Levo FSR expert carbon with 29in wheels and the new motor and big battery.
And I can't believe the difference! Motor is faster, smoother, stronger and battery lasts for loads longer, and the 29in wheels roll over technical stuff much more easily.
A big difference. On my third battery now on the 2017 bike (all under warranty) so hopefully the new one will be better.
And my 2017 is now owned by my wife so hopefully she'll not have any issues with it.
New bike is stock with tubeless conversion, Renthal bars and stem and my preferred WTB saddle.

Sweet ride. I am also considering a Levo.

What a coincidence, I have just pulled the trigger on the same bike in the same colour! I have just upgraded from a 2017 expert.which my wife has decided we can keep for her! Wellcome to the forum!

I was only planning to do the tubeless conversion when it arrived before next weekend but am unsure with the tyres. I changed mine to Minion’s DHRII from the and rear and was woundering if I should do it immediately or give the butchers a few runs first?
Where are you based? Need to get you out on the next forum ride!

I'm in Northamptonshire so not too far from you, JetSetDemo!
I usually ride at Wakerley Woods (near FIneshade) but also a bit at Chicksands and planning to start going to Cannock and Woburn again.
I had Surly Dirt Wizards on the 2017 Levo and loved them, apart from the weight! Can't say I'm overly impressed with the stock Butchers on the new Levo. Not sure if it's the tyre or the different handling of a 29-er. I'm going to give them a few more rides before deciding what to do.
You'll love the bike, I'm sure...

No problem @Kangr you are wellcome to borrow, I can get 2 bikes in the car so all good.

if you're open to all abilities, Cannock is quite near me and I've been round once or twice on my clockwork bike but that was years ago and I'm older, less fit, but just as keen to try again. Also on a Levo now..... do post on here when you're planning to go. My wife might even come, but she's hardly ridden a bike, so maybe we need to get her basic skills up a bit first.....

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Congrats on the new levo. They're great huh!? Cannock chase local too so I'm up for a ride around. Been exploring the last few days and creating quite a nice ebike loop.

I am running 2019 stock butchers on the back until they wear out but swapped out to a MM on the front as the butchers were washing out. Yesterday in FOD the front end held great but the rear struggled. I want a 700 battery now ?let me know dates of Cannock ride will see if we can visit the in laws.

 

[Mad Mark]

I'm always up for a ride around cannock.....let me know when & I will see if I can make it ?

If it was worth it i would

 

[Peaky Rider]

Will anyone be invited to this potential Cannock ride, even a 70 year old bloke on a Focus Jam2 ?
Ride Cannock four or five times a year but would love to check out/be shown some 'off piste' routes.

 

[JetSetDemo]

You are most welcome, it’s all about having fun when we ride right ?

 

[Tunny]

This is turning into a big one ??

 

[Wiltshire Warrior]

Don't forget to visit:

1. The bomb hole near Rugeley Ranges - (thats where I broke my first carbon MTB frame - so I hope that doesn't jinx you!)
2. Sher Brook Valley (watch out for the sand traps) - and some very steep climbs out of it on the east side.
3. Glacial Boulder you must go and see the boulder for a selfie.

It’s a sweat ride, live on the chase and the Levo rules here ?
