Well, I was really hoping to see something last year ...
Then I thought, be patient, February maybe ...
Now I'm thinking it could take a while and I might not see things till April.
Or maybe I've just used all my wishes up the last three times ...

I bet they did
Is there much of a difference, between 14k or 15k? Once you get above 12k, then it all becomes stupid and I can afford it, but I would never pay it.I got april too. I hope it was a joke when i was told the s works one is £15k
One thing is for certain, it won't ride any better than the $7400 at 30% off that I just payed for a bike that I can see.

See that Loic has now taken down leaked picture off his instagram 
So in the background is that the new GEN 4? Who can use AI to enhance, sharpen and enlarge image?
And assorted random chat ....

The bike in dark grey on the left looks more like an Epic. Down tube looks very thin and shock almost embedded in the top frame.
Bike on the right, white/silver does have a thicker down tube. But again the rear shock looks to be embedded into the top tube, similar to an Epic.
Maybe these are the two versions without and without the battery attached? But the Rear shock is throwing me off.
Neither of those look like they have 160mm forks so I doubt they are Levos.

That does say "Sworks" on the down tube.

The bike on the right if you saw the original video is in hd hence why video is taken down. Large flat down tube but like the canyon strive ons.
All ties up with the testing in Madeira rumours
Nice. silver S works with Ohlins???

So… what happened to the supposed February 4th release of the embargo?

Great Question. Fake rumor from Spec to keep people from buying other e-bikes as they continue to delay the release of the Gen 4?
It was around the 20th I think.
That’s the spirit specialized like!

Just watching a DJI vs Bosch video on YouTube which talk a bit about the future of ebike motors & at the very end they slide a riders view of an upcoming non DJI or Bosch powered bike & say “but we can’t talk about this bike as it’s under embargo”. Looked very similar to the silver bike spied previously in this thread.
The video is called DJI vs Bosch why are the major brands hesitating.

Let’s just fast forward to whenever the Gen 4 breaks cover;
“What a lame release, Amflow/DJI better in every area, total fail by Specilaized”.
“Spesh have knocked it out of the park, ordered!”.
“Ok bike, but at that price they can shove it, ordered a Boardman from Halfords…”.
“Strokes Gen 3 Levo with £15k of upgrades whilst shaking head at price of new S-Works”.
“Doesn’t have a 1037Wh side removable and self charging battery that I need for my regular 10 hour loops, so I’m out”.
“Doesn’t have more power than my KTM MotoX bike, so I’m out”.
“Is the Gen4 motor and battery retrofit compatible with the Gen3? If not, the usual shoddy treatment of customers who love Spesh”..
Etc etc!

so far the dji batteries are internal only, so need a less heavy housing. the bosch ones are also removable so need a more durable housing
Except you missed the part that I would never pay it, but I can easily afford it. 12, just maybe, but probably not.That’s the spirit specialized like!
Dont forget this new Gen 4 was already to go last year, then the DJI came out and it got pulled. Been told this morning from local store its not bum on a seat until early Q2, Spz still have a lot of current bikes to move, and they are selling at the discount prices.Let’s just fast forward to whenever the Gen 4 breaks cover;

I used to work at a bike shop and we made shit up and told customers what they wanted to hear - they loved it
They would have had even more bikes to move last year had the Gen 4 been released then, surely?
Or, are you saying that when they delayed the Gen 4 ‘cos DJI’ that they went and over manufactured a load of Gen 3 Levo’s in response that they now need to sell before they can release the Gen4?!
My tongue in cheek comments will apply to whenever they release the Gen4 anyway.
If I were Specialized, I’d call it the Gen5 now, just for fun…
