Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

[p3eps]

Apparently... when does your Embargo end? Any chance it will be up at 1 second after midnight tonight?

Ha ha… I was thinking the same. Someone mentioned a shop doing a midnight opening to release the bike… so I assume the embargo finishes at 12.

I assume Rob can’t even answer though… or maybe he could just say he has a new video coming tomorrow?

Be nice if Rob's was one of the first up.

Press Embargo may not be the same though?

 

[SquireRides]

New Zelda. First trailer for Dune part 2. And a new Levo SL. What a week.

Tomorrow will be an anticlimax. We know everything about the bike.

Motor noise is the only unknown.

 

[Eduardoramundo]

Launch is normally 4pm or 5pm UK time

Only Rob knows that

Also I couldn’t get confirmation of the available colors in Europe and particularly in France

I think we can be sure that first reviews will go online after Spech announced the bike. The other way around would be a bit nonsense

How it actually rides?! Whether the motor fits in an original SL? Range vs the original SL?

There are a few things I’m interested in seeing / hearing that I don’t know already!

Awesome Thread.

Can't wait to see more ride reports.

Has anyone heard any details on when SL 1.2 motor will be coming to Creo SL or Vado SL?

nearly time to start a New Levo SL 2025 thread

My retailer said that while the motor is very similar, it’s doesn’t quite fit the same. There’s something about the bottom of the motor that makes it not backwards compatible. That being said who knows what kind of retro-fit kit they might come up with in the future. My understanding is that it IS NOT backwards compatible. I do not work for Specialized and I do not work in the industry. I just ride a lot, buy new bikes several times a year, and don’t have much else to worry about.

I don’t want to steal Specialized’s thunder but I will say the new bike and the Fuel EXe are definitely competitive. One is a better value and one I suspect is a better bike altogether…. but both are really good. I’m dying to hear what the online reviewers say.

 

[Ribinrobin]

i was also told the motor won’t fit old levo sls

 

[G-Sport]

Also what I was told, but I was also told that you couldn't mullet the old one and it doesn't have 415mm chainstays but it's worked for me.

 

[whywedowhatwedo]

Is there a new bike due soon?

what bike?

 

[p3eps]

Looks like we’re waiting until 5pm then!

It’s 4am here in California right now. Might still be too early for the announcement. A few more hours to go…..

 

[Ribinrobin]

5pm is the uk launch time

 

[JetSetDemo]

It’s up on the US site now. The pro model looks great in pistachio green.

I pick mine up Saturday. I have gone for an s4 comp in salmon with full AXS fitted. I am upgrading the fork also to a lyric ultimate but I can only get the moss green one, I think it will work.
