It's pretty many negative comments regarding color and downtube but is that more important than how the bike is to ride which no one knows yet?They're like excessive makeup.. they help distract your from the general visual bleughhh..
Sure I have just never seen it before and there is a Eliminator T7/T9 tire available
Specialized have specced Butchers on the rear of some bikes. Status and Enduro both come with it on the rear. I don't think Specialized have ever marketed as a front only option.
Is that a 36 on a bike with an 840Wh 4kg batteryAnother pic of the comp. I don't really mind the side loading battery tbh but they could have easily made it under loading. Don't think a SWAT box is enough reason to go with sideloading for the amount of hate it will generate.
Yes, the comp build come with 36s. 38s on the rest.Is that a 36 on a bike with an 840Wh 4kg battery
Dang, really, that maybe works for skinny ass 70kg(160lb) dudes?
Yup, it's chunky in the downtube area, even compared to the old one :
Just wondered if it was delivered like that or changed because the owner wanted something else
A bit fanatic/MAGA review, better wait for Rob & Co more objective reviews.
I agree but nice to have more pics
I ended the ride with just 8% after 25 miles and 5K of climbing
What is the official name of this sworks dark red color? Red Pearl?
I don't know - design doesn't catch me from the pictures. Have to see it in real life and feel how it rides...
This is a ChatGPT special.. as someone that uses it basically daily..
If you feel like it , compare the gen 1 to the gen 4. I was always impressed with the way people would not recognize the Gen 1 as an ebike.
At this price point the” look back” test is very important. Not as important as just how well it rides but at 12.5k here in UK it needs to look good also, no doubt the dark red paint will help..
I can't help myself, I just dislike the side loading battery. But I'm not in to market to buy this anyway, more into Gen3 as a second emtb...but then Brose was sold so I don't know anymore. I have doubts how the support will go to the older models...Another pic of the comp. I don't really mind the side loading battery tbh but they could have easily made it under loading.

Found a more similar sized 2023 Gen3 for comparison (Carbon not alloy like the one above) :
Yup, good point .. but with the fat tyres the wheels came out pretty similar outer diameter to a 29 so I went that way .. Will do a downscaled one.. it might look like a little baby !
Try matching the rear rim diameters against each other maybe. Even scaled up you can really see how stretched out a modern bike is.
So after tomorrow
There you go, this might reduce the number of in thread complaints ??

By the looks of it that might not be a bad move......
Rode a Pro Carbon in the LBS car park yesterday. First ever ride on a Levo as I have had 3 Trek Rails. While a long way from a real conclusive ride. I put a deposit down on it. Neglected to get photos when I went out of sight, and when I asked later was a strict no. They look good in the flesh, and the sideload battery reveals a nice little SWAT storage pouch that magnetically sticks to the back of the headtube in front of the battery.
