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

All this extra available torque is going to lead to an increased rate of chain & cassette wear for those who ride hard.

i am interested to see which of the big players is first to solve this via belt drive or gearbox Etc

drivetrain suppliers must love this power war.

Here you go, these guys are in Edinburgh. It can be run with a belt or chain drive and they’ve got a few big brands doing testing with it now.

In the USA it’s going to lead to Karens getting more trails closed to emtbs.

About 70% of the trails I ride in Orange County, Ca are already prohibited to ride Ebikes, but at least 50-60% of the riders are on Ebikes. The majority of the time the Rangers look the other way and don’t hassle us, for many reasons.

Surprising a big local State park is now allowing e-bikes as of last month.

The only clowns that are going to get trails closed to ALL bikes are the dummies riding throttle assist emotos, like surron’s.

11 speed linkglide is the best for ebbs ive had the same cassette on for a year now and do alot of riding

I put that on my Levo comp before I sold it and was the best combo I have ridden.... once my Transmission cassette is blown I can get a complete XT link glide groups for cheaper than a GX transmission cassette.

If the Launch date is not until April, then I would not expect to see the press rides before this time.

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.

Same thing happen with the SL2, other companys caught up. I remember the "whisper quiet" being a big part of the marketing after the TQ motor had dropped to such amazing reviews of its motor noise.

Been riding e bikes here in San Diego for 7 yrs or so and have never been told to get off ANY trail I was on either by Rangers or whoever.
I did get told by a lady while I was unloading my bike that all e bikes weren’t legal anywhere, anytime so I got that going for me too.
Im trying to think but maybe twice I got the stick eye from some guy on a regular pedal bike but most are chill. If your being a douche you’ll get sounded for sure but that goes for an analog bike to.

As far as Spec. dealers that I have seen running discounts on the current bikes they have in stock that’s a big no Vanna.
24/25 turbo levo Carbon comp with a 700w battery will still run ya 9k plus tax and you better have your own pedals cause they don’t come with em.

Picked up my 23’ turbo levo comp carbon last summer from a guy who put 23 miles on it and paid $5,200.00 and then dropped some more coin on some upgrades and I would have a hard time walking away from this bike. But hey I said that about the bike I had previous to this one.
