Is it confirmed that it will be 130mm travel? That seems a bit backward from the current version.
No problem. I imagine it will stay 150mm with maybe more Trail oriented reach figures.No, sorry for any confusion.
Just that 130mm is trail bike travel.
Yeah. My local dealer here in Japan told me that they have been invited to an unveiling of the new Levo SL on around May 5. The event will only allow official dealers to test the new Levo SL. So it is happening. He told me to watch the Japan Specialized website for sales of the new Levo SL. But he said that while you can order them, you'll have to wait.They had an online dealer seminar. It exists and dealers can order them (Comps for now). I have seen pics. It has a new 50NM motor that is similar to the old one but is not backwards compatible. It’s very similar to Stumpjumper Evo in geo. The signature Specialized arm/brace thing that the shock mounts behind is gone. The battery is still 320 I think. The extender batteries from the old SL stil work.
Is it 50 Nm - 60 Nm motor? That's what I am hearing in Japan.I have the full spec sheet it’s 160 150 travel and same size battery, has the all new SRAM XX drivetrain and brakes on the SWorks it’s carbon black with chrome logo
I have a photo and spec sheet but believe what you will, i dont post a lot and have never speculated on here.Would make sense to collect all the bullet proof fact’s shared here and check them after the release. I’m sure it’s less then 10% that becomes true.
Thanks. That's what I thought. I heard here 50 - 60 Nm. Sounds like that they've settled on 50 Nm. Wonder if that will be noticeable from 35 Nm on the hills.50nm its called SL 1.2
What’s this?
Is your reply to me? If so, I thought that all of the bikes had the front brake on the right - like a motorcycle. I'm not sure what to think here. Searching YouTube right now for tutorials on how to change the front brake over to the right.Must be an old Gen1 Levo, the Purgatory rear tyre is a dead giveaway
Front brake on the left is a Euro/American thing. I’m from the US and that’s what I’m used too. I have a bike that was built by a shop here in Scotland and they set it up moto style, I about killed myself on the first ride. Grabbed a handful of what should have been rear brake and over the bars I went.My Kenevo SL has the front brake on the right side, like a motocross bike, but my new Levo has the front brake on the left side. Is this a mistake? I bought the Levo a few days ago in Taiwan, but the Kenevo SL was bought in Japan. I just realized that the front brake on the Levo is on the left side of the bicycle. I'm not sure what is going on here. Can anyone tell me why the SL has the front brake on the right, while the regular Levo has the front brake on the left?
Yeah. I'm not Japanese. But my Kenevo SL which I bought in Japan has the front brake on the right, which I've gotten used to. I come from a motocross background, also. So I guess it's standard to actually have the front brake on the left. I wonder why the Japanese Kenevo SL has the front brake on the right. I didn't even know that the front / rear brake levers are put on different sides on the same bicycle in different countries. I thought it was standard to always have them on the same side, regardless of country. Yeah, I can see how you could have endoed by grabbing too much front brake, not being used to it. I have two bikes with two different set ups, which is not cool. I'll have to figure out how to change one of them so that they're both the same.Front brake on the left is a Euro/American thing.

probably just region specific? my Levo had the rear on the left when I bough it in the UK.My Kenevo SL has the front brake on the right side, like a motocross bike, but my new Levo has the front brake on the left side.

if they are SRAM, just swap them over, no need to disconnect the hoses, just remove from bars and swap them.Is your reply to me?

I bought my Levo here in the UK and had the shop set it up with the the front brake on the left. I’ve been told it’s UK law that the front brake has to be on the right when being sold by a bike shop. Obviously it’s not enforced but I thought that was kind of funny. It’s really just a preference thing, easy to swap around though.Yeah. I'm not Japanese.

No reply was for the picture, have you tried posting in the tech thread, this was just some banta that’s been running, this thread is the new SL rumours thread.Is your reply to me?

Yeah, seems like it. Okay, thanks. Yup I just went and checked, they're Sram. I'll try and swap them over so that both bikes are the same.probably just region specific? my Levo had the rear on the left when I bough it in the UK.
Its easy to swap them over.
Yeah, it seems so. I'll try and figure it out. Found a 6 year old video on youtube that seems to show how to do it. Looks a little complicated from what I can see the guy doing, but I'll have to watch the whole thing.No reply was for the picture, have you tried posting in the tech thread, this was just some banta that’s been running, this thread is the new SL rumours thread.
I’m terrible at the tech stuff but can you not just swap the levers over?
Can you share them?!I have a photo and spec sheet but believe what you will, i dont post a lot and have never speculated on here.

If you've ever ridden motorcycles, front brake on the right is absolutely not a "preference thing"!I bought my Levo here in the UK and had the shop set it up with the the front brake on the left. I’ve been told it’s UK law that the front brake has to be on the right when being sold by a bike shop. Obviously it’s not enforced but I thought that was kind of funny.
