Surprised no one here is talking about a certain press camp for a certain bike that is happening this weekend...

Maybe you are the only double Zero agent in this thread…

 

[DylanJM]

Will anything be revealed to the public after said press camp or will they be kicking the can further down the road for that one?

 

[TonTonUB]

I especially hope they will reveal MOAR than a levo placeholder. We NEED a nextgen kenevo too !

It's all planned... The press camp will be conducted under embargo, the journalists will be wined and dined after the presentations and first rides. They'll get some time to get thier media packages ready until the nominated time on the nominated day arrives. We'll just have to wait for however long it is. Annoying

It’s called the Levo LT

 

[TonTonUB]

It’s called the Levo LT

Better than nothing, i guess ?

 

[DylanJM]

@Rob Rides EMTB had a story up on instagram earlier showing him on a bike in Madeira so I assume that's were the press launch is happening.

Confirmation by an Italian bike influencer/journalist linked to ebike-mag.it

 

[oettam20]

And another one Madeira

The Strava stats are looking very impressive. But you don't know how many batteries they are using.

 

[James_C]

whats the expected release date then based on that? How long would they give the media people time to edit etc. a week?

 

[oettam20]

Really impressive!
Almost 2000 mt of elevation, in 3 hours…!

The embargo might be limited to a week, maybe months. It depends on what Specialized want to do timing wise. All sorts of things influence this: for example market conditions, new production stock availability, old production stock levels, website updates etc etc.

No kenevo 100%

 

[DylanJM]

No kenevo 100%

There was some murmurs of ST and LT versions of the new Levo. A 170-180mm Levo would esseialtty scratch the same itch the Kenevo did albeit under a different name. I am hoping that's the case otherwise I will need to try and pick up one of the few remaining Kenevos available new online.

 

[TonTonUB]

No, not yet, never ... I'll keep on praying !

Turbo mode with a range extender

Turbo mode with a range extender

Than nothing special ? Unless the rider is heavy.

Would assume the RE is only available for the SL as it was in the previous Generation...

 

[DuncanDoughnuts]

Than nothing special ? Unless the rider is heavy.

I’m 85kg and I can’t get 2000m even in default trail

 

[gbcoke]

I guess it depends what is the base battery and extender size and what is the rider weight.

id be surprised if they launch a ST/LT based on the stump jumper launch. I think they will remain same travel with genie then have other versions with coil. I also imagine the focus will be motor, battery, weight and genie rather than more than travel. The Amflow isnt a overly impressive bike on paper, but the weight and system is what has propelled it into the spot light.

One of the journalists confirms that the new "eMTB" he is testing in Madeira, has an optional range extender, which can also function independently without the main battery.

Maybe he was riding the current or next generation SL or KSL?

 

[gbcoke]

The press camp is 100% on the new Levo.
There are two battery sizes and an extender .

Not with 2000mt of elevation gained in 3 hours on one battery...

 

[Dax]

Not with 2000mt of elevation gained in 3 hours on one battery...

SL with a really big battery?

 

[DylanJM]

The press camp is 100% on the new Levo.
There are two battery sizes and an extender .

So maybe something like 600, 800 & 250 Wh?

So the bike can be ridden without the main battery or what?
