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

It’s interesting, specialized has kinda been showing something like a tier system in their product line. On one side you have the stumpy 15 ,epic and enduro. On the other you have the Chisel and the status 140/170. I would love a full power status 170 based e bike. On a side note, have you noticed status 140 and 170 use the same front triangle?….. just saying.

It is refreshing to see this forum back on track with the Levo Gen4 Levo specs and timing being the focus. I concur, the Pinkbike podcast seems to have indirectly confirmed that Brose will remain the motor platform presumibly the Peak 3 motor (which dispenses with the prior DJI speculation, thankfully). I am hopeful that we will see or hear somthing sooner, rather than later. As I recall the new Stumpjumper 15 was leaked w/ spy photos by Specialized in the early spring, with the unveiling following in April at Sea Otter? I believe the same was true of the Levo SL2 the prior spring? So maybe some spy photos will emerge soon. So early summer 25' dealer availability might be the best case scenario? I have no insider information, just speculating like the rest of anxious US consumers.

The SJ15 was unveiled last June/early July. Don’t think there were any spy shots beforehand. There was just some build up on pinkbike with a podcast like the above talking about bike development and then a week later the first ride articles started popping up on the news sites.

I assume we will see a full unveiling in the next week or two.

I'm pretty sure the guy on the bike is a Specialized sales rep for Northern California.......

Hard to tell if there is a sidebar like the gen 3 levo?

Picture was taken this week, & he was riding with others on full powerd ebikes.

I think this guy showed me some hidden ucsc trails a couple years back. We have the same wrap on our bikes

Pic from the PB article. Anyone else think it's conveniently cropped? To me that doesn't look like the usual TCU. Looks more like a screen inset into the toptube. Or perhaps I've been around this thread too long and need a break

I see a left hand brake cable & probably a dropper cable but I don't see a mode controller switch cable.
Could it be a wireless mode controller? Is the pic an E-bike?

That’s what they want you to think.

That's a sweet looking wrap!

The new bike is looking almost ready!

I can't believe how long this bike has been delayed.

My info's 2 years old now so either they had development problems or regulation issues with the (high - above euro legislation) voltage.

In which case they've either stuck at it and finally resolved things, or they've scrapped it entirely and jumped to the other bike which was in parallel development at the time (but was less exciting - to me anyway). For this level of delay, you can't help but think the original has been shelved or pushed to be the next gen when they're ready with it and they switched to plan B.

i applied for a job at specialized this summer (but declined the offer in the end, nobody wants an american styled contract with "pay already includes overtime") and they mentioned the imminent launch, so something changed. the place i'm currently employed sells specialized too and word in the company is still a spring launch.
