No such thing as free power!Hey guys, to break the thread a bit, there is a new test of the Amflow on YT that maybe interesting for emtb power junkies or others depends from what perspective you look at it...
It's a full-out boost power up/down ride on a single trail untill empty.
Distance 44,1 km,
1123m altitude gain,
average speed of 12,4km/h,
800Wh battery.
It looks like the bike really grinds uphill, but the battery consumption is wild, something I have not seen anywhere before, cca 71Wh/100m of altitude gain.
For comparison a Bosch CX in Turbo eats cca 40Wh/100m.
The first question I get here is how long can the drivetrain hold out something like this...
What's your thoughts![]()

Santa Cruz Vala!Has anyone bought a new bike instead of waiting for the gen 4 levo? And if so what did you buy.
No.Are we expecting a new Kenevo at the same time as the Gen 4 Levo?
Not gonna happen.I seem to remember reading something about a Long Travel version of the Levo, maybe to replace the Kenevo. Anyone know anything?
Lovely bike. Massive SC fan here having owned a E-Heckler for the last 4 years but the 600wh battery put me off.Santa Cruz Vala!
I ended up ordering a Crestline frame, got tired of waiting on Spesh to even announce anything.Has anyone bought a new bike instead of waiting for the gen 4 levo? And if so what did you buy.
Gen4/4B? Hmmm....Gentlemen, Ladies,
I think it's fairly safe to say if you've read all 56 pages of this thread, mainly about a bike which isn't even for sale yet, which is already on it's second revision. Pretty much anything conversation wise is ok and certainly not deviating from the theme !
Just no Gen4/4B pics please - unless they're already leaked elsewhere.
Thankyou for your understanding, now continue the fairy tales.
Santa Cruz Vala, interested to see what other manufactures are doing but would never buy a Specialed they are more of a big box store brand and I'm not into that.Has anyone bought a new bike instead of waiting for the gen 4 levo? And if so what did you buy.
Santa
How are you enjoying the vala? If I don’t get a gen 4 levo the vala or the Orbea wild are my top choicesSanta Cruz Vala!
They have great selection at Walmart near me!!Santa Cruz Vala, interested to see what other manufactures are doing but would never buy a Specialed they are more of a big box store brand and I'm not into that.
Come on guys, don't leak pictures of the gen4 and especially not the 4B!Gen4/4B? Hmmm....
Bought a Cube one77, I wasn't really going to get the Levo at launch unless they announced the best bike ever (could happen!) and they had a well specced 6-7k version (won't happen). So I got a hold-over bike for 2025 and we'll aim for a dream bike in 2026.Has anyone bought a new bike instead of waiting for the gen 4 levo? And if so what did you buy.
Since 2018 I owned the 1st Gen Kenevo, I switched to a Levo then to a Kenevo SL and back to full power Levo gen 3. I didn’t want to wait and I wanted something different so I ordered a Crestline S180!!!Has anyone bought a new bike instead of waiting for the gen 4 levo? And if so what did you buy.
Crestline also known as an over priced Santa Cruz bullet. Fun fact, you know why Santa Cruz went to a FRS suspension design on the vala? Because the drive units size make it impossible to put the lower link low enough to prevent brake jack in a VPP design. Knowing this makes you wonder why so many riders cream their baggies for the VPP design on the Crestline. Look at a Bronson or Megatower lower link location, on an e bike, that pivot in inside the drive unit. When all is said and done, there are really only three suspension designs that work for e bikes, FRS , DW links and high pivots with an idler.Since 2018 I owned the 1st Gen Kenevo, I switched to a Levo then to a Kenevo SL and back to full power Levo gen 3.

I can’t wait to get it.
Overpriced ? Their kits are actually inline with most bikes in the market ,even more so if you consider they are such a small brand.Crestline also known as an over priced Santa Cruz bullet.
