Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2023/4/5/6 Rumours...

Dont get me wrong i dont think its a bad frame/bike. I just know that no one would be rushing to buy amflow if it had a bosch motor in and similar figures to other emtbs. The amflow is the motor package/weight, the frame is a make do.

Frame balance, stiffness and quality are more important than extra nm, that doesn’t help you when you are doing what the bike was designed for… heading downhill as fast as possible

The Amflow was designed for ’Trails’ not downhill.
I thought everyone had accepted that?

The question is: when do you guys accept that this is a thread for Levo and not for the the Amflow rubbish

the levo AM is coming soon...

Yep def agree. I bought the bike for the value and the motor, and for the parts I had on hand.
Though I would say all brands are guilty of adding under-specced parts to reduce claimed weight. Mostly tyres, as this can easily save over 500g. Every bike I’ve bought has ended up weighing significantly more than claimed.

The Amflow frame is not spectacular. Though it is quite good and can far better than the haters would like to think. The motor and integrations are however amazing, as is the value.

I do think they should sell an enduro spec so people like me don’t have to swap everything over. I think the only thing original on mine right now is the headset!

Is that not where Forbidden will be coming in? I think there will a few "Enduro" brands running the DJI and good for them. Its seems like a brilliant system. And more choice the better for the industry.

Back to the Levo Generation Maybe this year.
Strange but I often buy a bike for the colour .... So hoping that there will be an all murdered out black edition like my current Gen 3 . Was the only reason I went Expert and not pro ... did not like the colour and find Kashima rather vulgar.

Theres another thread on the forum where someone in the know has said forbidden are only doing the EDRUID so trail bike 150/130

The Edruid will be 140/150 or 150/160 and will debut this year (actually next month).
The Edreadnought will be 160/170 or 170/180 but will debut next year only.

Back to the Levo, it's a real miss imo that it will be only offered in 150 rear. Don't understand why not offer 160-170 rear ...

The forum moderator made a post (Post #1,662) that hinted that there was a Gen4 and a Gen 4B. I feel like they know something we don't. Maybe just means carbon/alloy but could also mean long/short travel. I know other posters have said info they have heard only suggests a 150/160 bike but who knows.

Presumably because the Kenevo didn’t sell as well as the Levo? And because no matter how heroic we think we are, 150 works well for most riders?

 

[gbcoke]

Either that or Cascade are gonna make a fortune

You’d be surprised if you actually tried. I weigh 100kg also, and ride chunky DH trails with decent drops to flat and it’s been flawless so far. Just add a burlier shock, fork and cranks. It smashes.

It’s a good thing the bike is so cheap…. You forgot stem and tires.

Yeah, I assume it didn't sell well. But it was offered only in alloy and 27.5", which, in my opinion, is one reason it didn't sell well.

Yeah, my Levo works well for me. But when I'm on my downhill bike, the feeling is totally different. I can mess up much more on the DH bike than on the Levo and still be fine. Also, the DH bike offers another level of comfort, which is one of the reasons I'd like to have more travel on my Levo.

Traded my Levo in for a Kenevo and I never looked back. 27.5 plus tires rule on e bikes.
