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

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

I see a left hand brake cable & probably a dropper cable but I don't see a mode controller switch cable.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
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 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.

i've reached out to a Specialized dealer suggesting that I am hopeful of a late spring early summer 2025 reveal. All the Dealer said is yes, the reveal seems to be pushed back a bit. I guess we can make of that what we can.
More old stock to shift first perhaps.
So the rumors are true, user friendly motor replace, you will get 2 motors with the bike, one you can use to reach the trails, and the other one to get back home. If your trails are are too far, or you want to ride for longer periods, spare motors available at half price.

Interesting solution to remove the derailleur. Looks like a small motor and a geared hub.
Looks like a high pivot mash up Levo SL, got any more info on it?
Just a prototype from the PB article. Likely their first ideas about making some sort of MGU.

New Brose details.

Brose Drive³ Peak: Neuer Motor kommt 2025
Brose wird 2025 mit dem Drive³ Peak an den Start gehen. Die Berliner hatten ihr 48-Volt-Antriebssystem schon auf der Eurobike 2023 vorgestellt.

Wild theory after listening to the Pinkbike podcast again.
When discussing Brose, Pinkbike mentioned a new motor which was shown a few years ago and presumably you’ll be using that.. now when the drive 3 was announced so was a concept MGU by Brose.
When discussing the DJI unit, paraphrasing but specialized said it’s good but nothing revolutionary you still get a flat tire and you can still knock off your derailer.
Later they asked the brand manager Buck if for the next generation levo are you aiming for evolutionary or revolutionary? He replied revolutionary.
What if the Gen 4 does use the Brose but the MGU unit shown at the same time as the drive 3.

Like I said, wild theory

No Way !
They weren't talking about Mahle.
The quote from the podcast is:
Brian: Brose has a new 48 volt motor that got announced a few years ago, but it's still not at market. So presumably the next things you guys make will use that motor. but like why, why stick with Brose rather than do it yourself?

Yes, it exists! But they never will bring an existing system in a new bike…

Maybe one day when we have standardised mounting points.

It won't have a gearbox because it would make the weight not competitive.
I can but dream
