I really like Specialized choice with colors on the SL. Cast berry and Cast battleship look great! A salmonish color sounds awesome, can't wait to see it.Your local retailer should be able to order you one. Mine should be here Tuesday in advance of the launch. My only concern is the color. The Carbon Comps come in Poo Brown, I think they call it Doppio, and Blaze. I wish Blaze was Orange. It’s more of a Salmon color from what I remember. Again, for people still asking about details, they have 50nm and are supposed to be quieter. The one thing that I have not seen is the actual geo. It’s supposed to be very similar to the Stumpjumper Evo which means it’s very much like the Gen 3 Levo. It’s a mullet. It still has the same size battery as the old bike. The Spec on the comp is exactly the same as the Levo which is decent.

There are a couple of interesting things about the old motor. 1) it’s among the most reliable e-bike motor that’s been sold in the last couple of years. You really do not see many failures. It’s really rare. 2) it wasn’t that noisy to begin with. Actually, it’s quieter than the Shimano EP8 but unfortunately the pitch of the whine that the motor makes is unpleasant to many people.
For sure the 1.2 will be a lot better in every respect. They’ve had an unprecedented amount of time testing it.
Personally, I’m really excited to ride the new chassis. I’ve had the Orbea Rise and the Fuel EXe and I didn’t like either of them as much as the original SL. If the new SL is anything like the latest Stumpjumper it’s going to be a lot of fun to ride.
same color as the Roubaix ?

The head angle can be personalized in three setting, 63 degrees, 64.25 degrees, and 65.5 degrees.
If you also say where else the images are available (you can PM me if you don't want to say here) - so the forum is not the primary leak of information and the information is already available in the public domain, then yes, you can post them.@Moderator
Just want to be sure:
I spent way to much time to search the web for any hidden details on the Specialized site and actually found images of the bike
Is it save to share it with the community since it is a public URL?
Don't know what I should think about the "whisper quiet" yet. Sounds way to optimistic I guessFrom @c0stunga 's link :
