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

[DylanJM]

When was the supposed press camp. Embargo should be release around one month later, no ?

It was around the 20th I think.

Is there much of a difference, between 14k or 15k?

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.

It’s not the new Levo I’m afraid.

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!

Hey, you stole my idea for Drama Queen Bingo!!!

in standard tune the Bosch CX gen4 needs a relatively high cadence..ie 70+. I ride with a mate on a Levo and it is clear he achieves the same amount of assist as me at 70 at c 50. That was until I used the Flow app to tune the motor response. Now I get good power assist at really low cadence and it stays strong right up to 85.(I dont know if the Bosch gen5 is any different in that respect). I would be very reluctant to use a bike with any other motor if it could not match how my motor responds having done the tuning in the Flow App

do you even bike at 50 rpm?! its still called mountainbiking…

I haven't seen anything regarding which cells they use but DJI batteries are 200g lighter than the new Bosch power tubes like for like. They are both 36V. My hunch is that the cell configuration will be the same to achieve that voltage with similar capacities, so DJI either has a very light hardware design or they have smaller lighter cells and are running them harder in a wider window perhaps.

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.

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.
