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

[Polar]

Just thought of something - in regard to price, features and AVAILABILITY, a discounted G3 Levo is probably smart buy, right?

Absolutely won't be any worse when G4 arrives at double the price.

 

[Chicane]

carry on pre- justifying your purchase before the one bike to rule them all launches

I think the side loading battery is justification enough to satisfy my move away from Specialized, no matter what the Gen 4 has to offer. Oh and the price.

If you have a “bottom “ loaded battery, you need that huge motor bottom bracket area. Look at the bb area on the new ibis oso.

Thank you for the information. That makes perfect sense, as the season in Europe—an important market—begins in early April. To maximize revenue from their E-MTB line, Specialized should launch the new Levo Gen 4 by the end of March, avoiding further losses.

I think the Side loading can work if done well..... especially if they make a spacer to insert above a smaller 600 or 400 battery where you can store things like tubes and tools. especially if the smaller batteries aren't as long . Side loading will also allow them to create a storage section

I am reading since page 1 and it comes to my mind, that we all should consider to be disappointed by specialized. Maybe, our expectations are too far away from what is possible or the bike vendors doesn't care about market voice.

Definitely a win really like the swat storage on my Epic 8 Evo and if they can make it happen in a eye candy way , well that would be awesome

Trek removes side loading because it was heavy and looked like crap..... Specialized says, wait till you see how bad ours looks!

Hopefully!!

If it's side loading, we need a modern take on this. Although I assume there must be some downsides to the snake battery.

 

[TorAtle]

Side loading can't be good for frame stiffness.

Rotwild has a promising side-load

Just asking if anyone knows if Specialized might be working on a gearbox motor setup , now that would be Fricken awesome , not ground breaking cause there are a few guys doing already but two get a Specialized Brose gearbox integrated system

Brose did show a prototype MGU in 2023 so could see future specialized bikes having it.

Caution: High voltage! – Brose present the eagerly awaited Drive³ Peak motor in the 48V system and a concept motor with an integrated stepless drivetrain

The new Brose Drive System, featuring the new Drive³ Peak motor and Concept Drive motor, now operates at a voltage of 48V. What does this mean for you?

There will be no mass adoption of MGU until SRAM has something to offer in that field. There’s no way they give up their current drivetrain monopoly without a fight.

If Brose, Shimano, Bosch or even DJI make on MGU, SRAM may have no choice but to make one or lose their monopoly.

This is in the new levo.

Yeah the drive peak 3

 

[singletrackminded]

Here is a link to a 2023 review of the early Brose Drive3 peak motor. I am confident that its software has been further refined by Specialized for application on the Gen 4 Levo, if in fact that is the motor they will spec. Look good to me!

Its reliability has to be improved , between myself and another Levo owner in town we have had 3 replacement motors in 2 years ridiculous

3 motors across 2 bikes in 2 years? I mean that’s a pretty good number for Brose.
