The thing I am most looking forward to is the modular battery.
Levo Gen 4 Levo Gen 4 - Discussion Thread for 8th April launch

I am riding a bike with a huge full size battery(800) opening on the whole bottom side of the downtube for the last 2 years, never ever had problems water getting in there in excess, what did, drained out where it's supposed to(drain hole at the bottom).
Sorry but If someone at Spech had given more thought about battery building, a slim downtube is indeed possible, even with 840Wh.
and Imo the new Bullit is worth the wait

Of course it possible but without the removable battery and with no swat storage... Levo SL is the perfect example.

Right, well it's been 8th April here for over 11 hours now and I still haven't seen a new Gen 4 Levo.
Nor have I seen a modular battery or Swat Box.

Switching from a class 1 to a 3 has been availible for quite awhile if you know where to look.
My 23’ levo was deristricted 3 days after I bought it.
Just rode my local bike park today (Temecula) and got 8 good runs in from the top with just my 700w battery and ended up with a little less than 20% when I coasted back to my truck.
Didn’t even need my extender as I rode for 2 1/2 hrs and got in 26m and 3.8k elevation and was done for the day.
Gonna ride again manana and can’t wait to read the 10+ pages of posts of all about the good and bad of the holy Gen 4.
Bring it boys.

So it’s not being launched on the 8th then.
It’s being launched in some foreign-Johnny Timezone where it’s Spring and winter is not coming.
I see how this works.
So racist. Picking on the Southern Hemisphere again…just because we have sexier accents and cooler wildlife.

My Levo is here. I saw it. It’s very well packaged. The bike looks really good. I guess you could say it has a clean aesthetic. I got the glacial blue color way and it’s the type of paint that changes color depending on how the light reflects off it. I love the remote for the new Fox dropper. The screen is next level and the side load battery is fine. It’s very well integrated into the bike. You can’t even tell unless you’re looking for it. It’s a sturdy build. The charger is gigantic, a little flatter than the old one but 2 or 3 times the size. The bike did not come with more than 1 battery.

Well I put a deposit downWell?????? How was it
but for a bike not really setup for me, ridden in a car park. Good. Very well finished ad the SWAT storage in front of the battery is cool. Held in by magnet with a reassuring snap.
can someone direct me to the new santa cruz bullit thread? i only like to build up, guess, then complain, Thank you
My mistake, maybe I wasn't clear enough, the opening is over the whole bottom side of the downtube.
Thanks! Can see it already follows same trends. Disappointment, people sharing their vala saying why they won’t update (no on asked), amflow.
If the bullet is 600wh same as vala it’s another no.

I think we can assume the reviews are going to be brilliant. Then in 12 months, when the “the next best thing“ is launched, the flaws and weaknesses will be retrospectively narrated.

Let me spoil the surprise based on everything we have seen:
1) Fact: Close to the top, but not a leader in any category (weight, power, battery capacity, looks etc etc)
2) Prediction: Incredibly positive reviews with barely any mention of the terrible reliability of outgoing model.
3) Guestimate: One of the worst value from a component specs to price out there, which as usual will lead to owners fiercely defending their prized posession.
Sincerely,
Someone who could very well get one if they release a 170mm version and there is a sale.
