Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

I think this is the one. He does another where he does a direct comparison to the Fuel EXE too.
I first started reading his reviews when he was doing night light outputs etc. He tries to be fairly consitstent/scientific.
I also wonder if there was a software upgrade on the KSL over the Gen 1 Levo SL which makes the difference feel less. I’ve gone straight from Gen 1 to Gen 2 Levo SL.

This is why I’d love some screen recordings of power outputs. It should narrow down why there are such discrepancies.
My gen 1 LSL and KSL felt identical in power but I never updated them. It’s possible they made some running changes to modify the power delivery.
One thing I can guarantee, no difference between turbo’s with my KSL and two brand spanker Gen 2 LSLs.
I’ll check it out tonight.

Hey CJP
I’ve had Covid this week(not bad just felt a bit ropey) but I did a short steep climb today and did the screen recording. I don’t know what this means but the battery current reading was between 7.6 and 8A when in 100/100 Turbo with me working fairly hard but I’m not feeling my best so probably had a bit more to give when fit.
Hope that helps

That’s perfect mate, thanks. Looks like your one of the lucky ones who got an as advertised Gen 2 motor.
Enjoy that extra grunt!
Not exactly the same scenario but I tried to fit a steel 104 BCD SRAM T-type chainring and found that it didn't fit on the spider correctly. The mount interface on the spider has a recess which resulted in a flat chainring not mounting correctly, the supplied alloy chainring doesn't have this issue.
Thanks Rich-H,
Does original looks like this, with threads sticking out of the surface?
I was thinking to buy OneUp 104 BCD, but it appears to be flat. Image I've attached is Garbaruk, but qeustion is: will it match spider recessions
Sorry deleted my previous post as I checked some old photos of the chainring and it was flat! I now can't remember why it didn't fit correctly as both the chainrings were flat!I was thinking to buy OneUp 104 BCD, but it appears to be flat. Image I've attached is Garbaruk, but qeustion is: will it match spider recessions
If I recall correctly, they both physically fitted it's just there wasn't much thread engagement on the steel ring due to a slightly different design.

104BCD is 104BCD so no issues with the bolts fitting. It was something to do with not having much thread engagement with the the steel ring due to a slightly different design.
It could be an issue that was specific to that chainring. Unless someone else is running the Oneup chainring and can tell you otherwise, you might just need to purchase it and see if it fits okay.
I remember what is was now! There is a recess on the back of the chainring whereas on the steel chainring it was flat on both sides. This is why there was insufficient thread engagement on the bolts. It also resulted in the mounting bolts not being flush and running the risk of them fouling the frame/motor due to the tight clearance.

Have to say wasn’t blown away with it. The motor is much quiter tho and only under hard graft it makes similar noise to my FF . The battery would give me anxiety if I didn’t have a range extender but then that just adds to the weight ..
I tried numerous trails and off piste I’ve wrode for many years and back to back with my FF . Some it felt quicker more nimble in but overall it’s defo not worth the cost to change bikes . All for advancement in tech so for those that haven’t had an SL it’s an improvement .
I would be willing to bet the E Storia, Storia, and the new air shock all fit. Lots of clearance on the new frame. I am going to be running a Storia v3 on mine. Never had any issues with the original SL, so fingers crossed it keeps holding up.

Also saw a few details of another model, maybe the Pro?
Very nice! What size is your bike? Does the range extender fits without issue? Lastly, what fork is that? I appreciate the input!

I like it very much, in the shadow it was black and when the sun was shining the dark red appeared. However, I've decided to another color
My bike is a S5 and yes the range extender fits without contact (I just got my extender and cable in the mail Tuesday. I think this shock actually has a bit more clearance than the float x that came on the bike. The reservoir is shorter.
The fork is a Manitou Mezzer Pro which I have always wanted to try (I ordered one in 2020, but something happen with their stock and they couldn't deliver it for several months and I decided to go another route). The fork is epic and I haven't even gotten a chance to open it up and make sure all the fluid levels are correct (which is highly recommended).
Very nice! S-Works Bike or frameset? I try to find a frameset in Germany in S3…New bike day️
