Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours... And assorted random chat ....

What is this ?

If the photo is authentic (it is not impossible that the photo is a particularly sneaky attempt to misinform, until the final moment of revealing the 'real' turbo levo gen4), then Spesh is seriously fucked up.

We do not need more power, but real progress / evolutions / refinements (lighter batteries, compact motor)

The ZF centrix is a first step forward (not in levo gen4, i know ... even if i hope they prove me wrong). But on the one hand ZF have associated an irrelevant battery in terms of density, but also the controls are outdated (no wireless control, if I read correctly). In addition, Raymond did everything wrong with the Tarok (geo, removable battery, etc... everything has to be reworked).

European/Western manufacturers would have liked to build a highway to Chinese products, Dji in particular: they would not do it any other way.

So i'm askin, if any amnufacturer read me : innovative geo (or proven one, like the enduro / KSL), integrated light battery (600-700 WH for 2/3 kg max), ZF motor or Dji, aluminium frame gravity rated, compatible 27,5/mx/29 .... PLEASE ?

The photos of a levo sl 2 s works, its not a gen 4 levo.

Confirmed.
Also interesting, sworks will be the most powerful.First time a brand differentiate power between spec levels if I'm not mistaken.

Specialized already does this on the Turbo Tero range; 50 vs 70 vs 90 Nm. Motors are versioned 2.0E, 2.0 and 2.2, but I think they are essientialy the same.

Since the new Rail is 160/160 I am guessing the Levo will also increase the travel.

Considering motor size and it's position : i dont' believe. SL motor is way smaller. I made the comparison. But i can be wrong (photo angle, light / shadow, etc ...)

levo sl 2 s works, notice everything the same except the angle of the photo?

Sometimes, people see what Thery want to see…
It is SL. Picture is from MBR review:
Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL Gen 2 e-bike first ride review - MBR

And SL comes with Fox36, which is shown on the Photo. Levo will come with Fox38 i guess...

 

[singletrackminded]

The photo is obviously a Levo SL2, not the new Turbo Levo, unfortunately. We will have to continue to wait, I guess.

But maybe even tho it’s definitely a Levo SL 2 it might just maybe be a…new kenevo

Looks like an Amflow to me, but it could be the sun.

Probably won't release until the new SRAM stuff drops, wired T-type derailleur for the lower spec models. I know at least one other bike waiting on that.....

It could be because you did not zoom in and read the Specialized logo on the down tube.

 

[Double l]

U mean Shimano?

 

[Polar]

Looks more like S-Work whic also could be a disguise

 

[DylanJM]

I swear people are starting to lose it in this thread. That picture in the last page is an S-Works Levo SL 2 NOT the new gen 4 Levo.

In my opinion, there’s no chance that the presentation will have any connection to the new SRAM mechanical direct-mount derailleur. In fact, the models they’ll initially introduce will only be the premium ones ( S-Worsk, Pro, Expert), which will therefore be equipped with AXS groupsets, just like the current lineup. The new SRAM mechanical derailleur will be fitted on the lower-end models, which, in any case, will be introduced a few months later.

Let’s hope they bring the more powerful motor to the top 3 and not just the top 2 this year.
