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.

I love it, but holy crap that’s a lot of money for a bike that’s not even the ultra high-end model.

Odd how they've just put a little Specialized logo on, but the rest have it full size. Is that a 'thing' with the Pro model?
The Pro model looks to have the SRAM Transmission too... not sure what the spec is?

The link for the Pro model on the Australian site is broken unfortunately. It takes you back to the homepage instead of the bike itself.

I also don’t know the price but my dealer has given me a good deal to trade my 2019 levo expert and I know how much cash I have to part with for the bike built with AXS and a lyric ultimate.

I run a DVO front fork and DVO coil rear on my KSL. Since this build is my trail bike I will stick with air on the rear. I will wait and see how I get on with the fox rear shock. I had a fox 38 on my Bullet but always found it harsh so think the lyric ultimate will be better for me in the SL.

After I pick it up Saturday will be heading to the FOD for an afternoon rip around dowies to see how it rides/

The thought had crossed my mind that I could see if the motor fits the KSL since I’m keeping that also.

I’d pick it up sooner but I don’t get back from Prague till tomorrow afternoon

It’s no different than the Levo Gen 3 Pro and Expert model. Looks to be the same on the new SL.

In Germany the comp will be 7.500€ my dealer told me. The motor is quieter for sure, but not "whisper quiet" as advertised.
It also is stronger, but it would not feel like 15nm stronger. More like up to 10nm. I will be getting an old Levo SL alloy now, but will test ride the new one for sure.
I'm very hyped about the first trustworthy reviews.

I also go for the old one. The discount is too tempting and good value for money is an important aspect for me.

Great looking bike, very clean lines and nice colours. But, considering the frame looks like a bunch of existing spesh models, the motor is effectively just a retuned version of the old one, and as far as we know it is the same battery, how are those prices justified? At first glance there doesn't seem to be so much innovation, not sure Spesh will sell as many as they are hoping now that there is serious competition in that sector. Genuinely hope the reviews and additional details prove me wrong.

I think you are wrong about the motor . It’s a redesign and not just retuned. You are right about the battery though. And nobody pays retail on a specialized.. if you know you know.

I got 15% off my 2019 Expert a couple of days after launch. I guess I should be expecting the same when I go in tonight to try and negotiate a frame only?
