So much this! i got a s works stumpy and i hate the S-WORKS graphic down side. Much prefer the top tube subtle ones
Think I'll wait for at least 1.6kWh battery......
“This baby can do at least 30 miles of rugged terrain,” he told his buddies, who were already questioning his life choices.
By mile five, he felt like a god.
By mile ten, he was unstoppable.
By mile twelve, the battery was at 14%.
Huh.
He squinted at the display, which now read: “Hope you trained for this.”
At mile fourteen, Eco mode gave up.
At mile fifteen, Dave was left with nothing but a 48lb deadweight of shame between his legs and a six-mile uphill slog back to civilization.
The hikers he had mocked earlier passed him, offering pitying glances and granola bars. Somewhere in the distance, a crow cawed—probably laughing.
As he collapsed next to his car, he stared at his Amflow and whispered the only words that made sense:
“You left me for dead.”
"Stranded: The 800Wh Betrayal"
Dave had one goal: conquer the trails. With his brand-new Amflow and a beefy 800Wh battery, he was ready to leave his mortal legs behind and embrace pure, electrified dominance over nature.“This baby can do at least 30 miles of rugged terrain,” he told his buddies, who were already questioning his life choices.
The Ascent of Overconfidence
The ride started beautifully. Turbo mode engaged. Rocks? Irrelevant. Steep inclines? Child’s play. He blasted past struggling hikers, throwing out a casual “should’ve brought an eBike, losers” as he zoomed by.By mile five, he felt like a god.
By mile ten, he was unstoppable.
By mile twelve, the battery was at 14%.
Huh.
He squinted at the display, which now read: “Hope you trained for this.”
The Descent into Suffering
At mile thirteen, Turbo mode died.At mile fourteen, Eco mode gave up.
At mile fifteen, Dave was left with nothing but a 48lb deadweight of shame between his legs and a six-mile uphill slog back to civilization.
The hikers he had mocked earlier passed him, offering pitying glances and granola bars. Somewhere in the distance, a crow cawed—probably laughing.
The Aftermath
By the time he made it back to the trailhead, his soul had left his body. His legs were ruined, his pride was shattered, and the only thing more dead than his battery was his spirit.As he collapsed next to his car, he stared at his Amflow and whispered the only words that made sense:
“You left me for dead.”

Wondering how much this Levo 4 delay has cost Specialized? This whole thing (albeit maybe Amflow threw a monkey wrench into this) has been nothing short of a disaster for sales. How many have chosen another brand and maybe loving the new Bosch motor and have converted and loyal to a new brand... I actually love my gen 3 sworks with the Cascade link, so I'm perfectly happy, but Geez, this has not been managed well at all!
You can throw in the Demo & Enduro in that analysis too, products are so old that people are forced to move away from Specialized even if they want to be loyal.
Seems like there's no hurry to update their bikes right now even if they're losing sales.
Unless we have the sales data, we don’t know, but I’m guessing Specialized do.
They still have the Gen3 Levo and SL2 out there, they’re still selling presumably otherwise there’d be fire sales aplenty but I’ve only seen reductions on the S-Works models and S or XL versions of some other models, here in the U.K. anyway.
The discounts on offer seem no better than many other e-bike brands too.
Don’t forget, they also have a huge non e-bike sales side, along with accessories etc, we sometimes forget that there’s more to biking than EMTB outside of this particular internet bubble/echo-chamber etc.
I don’t think we need to feel sorry for them, put it that way!
This! Sometimes I feel like people in this forum think they have better sales data than Specialized itself.
Can't find any better offer than 40% discount on S-Works can you?
A few on here, just for starters?

I don’t think the S-Works is typical of Specialized discounts, given the RRPs, but maybe/hopefully they’ll do something when the Gen 4 finally drops.
I was more thinking about the top level bikes not medium and low even though Specialized has big discounts on them as well but all the discounts are different from country to country and in length.A few on here, just for starters?

Mine as well I’ve paid the shop for it already , well a ball park give or take a few thousand , but they are getting training end of March in Gen 4 also a launch in the wine lands of the Cape early April to Shop owners (we have Specialized shops under the name “Complete cyclist” they only sell Specialized bikes and endorsed components and extras
I’ve been dying to se what it looks like ( although I have a idea of concept thanks to Sl) still frikken excited
It's a Conseptstore nearby me and they are only allowed to sell Specialized so I reckon they will be the first to offer G4 to the lmpatient customers.
