I thoroughly tried full 29 and mullet on the GEN3 and I felt exactly the same as you.After spending the first 2 months with a 29 rear wheel, I have swapped over to a 27.5 out back, I guess as the makers intended it. I think I like the mullet set up more. Most of my riding is twisty undulating single track, and it now seems to tuck into the corners better and be more fun. I guess I have lost some 'free' speed with the smaller wheel, but it feels that I can ride the bike faster through the turns.
Was wondering whether this improvement is just my imagination - I need to give 29' another try just to check - or whether the general consensus is that mullet is best.
Rockshox sell a version of the Super Deluxe Coil (C1) specifically tuned for the Levo SL.I have the S3 and the coil doesn’t rub or hit the range extender. I am more asking if the rockshox coil could potentially damage the frame or yolk. I can’t find anything about it.
Thanks!
I have mine properly dialled now and it really is a fantastic bike. Compared to the Gen 1 it’s much quieter and also noticeably more powerful. The geometry took some getting used to as the steering is slower and can lead to understeer(I actually preferred the steering on the Gen 1).View attachment 123605
Just picked up my S4 and wrapped it with ride wrap. Next step switch to tubeless this weekend and take it out. Already test ridden it a few times before buying it and absolutely love this bike coming from an analogue MTB
You might prefer a 51mm fork offset...I have mine properly dialled now and it really is a fantastic bike. Compared to the Gen 1 it’s much quieter and also noticeably more powerful.

The suspension definitely feels more bottomless too. You’re going to love the bike..
Probably right but I’ve got more used to it now. Additionally I’ve spent enough!You might prefer a 51mm fork offset...
I think 51 mm will be slower in steering. Bike will be slacker and longerYou might prefer a 51mm fork offset...
Shorter offset or a slacker head angle results in more trail (slower steering); longer offset or a steeper head angle reduces trail, quickening the steering response.I think 51 mm will be slower in steering. Bike will be slacker and longer
I don't believe there are any aftermarket cranks available to fit 1.2 motor, looks like 5DEV are working on some.I would like to change the cranks from 170 to 160mm eventually 155mm on the new Levo SL Gen2 1.2 - this to achieve higher cadence easier to be on the sweetspot of 80-100 rpm were the motor is highly efficient. This mainly when trail section of 15-25 degrees appear. After asking the specification of the crank with Specialized they told me for the 1.2 DUB is in use. Based on market supply it seems only SRAM and Praxiswork does have cranks for ebike. But not 155 or 160. Does anybody know which manufactures provide such cranks?
"Unite" migth be but not sure if the thread diameter would fit...
"Hope" seems not compatible and miranda not seems have DUB or couldn't find.
Any ideas or experience yet of the new Levo SL Gen2 1.2 yet ?

They’ve already posted the gen2 cranks on their Instagram, I’m sure they’ll be available to purchase soon.5DEV not provide for SL Gen 1 cranks therefore I do have some doubt that their focus on new SL Gen2.
I've sent them a request and will see if their answers.
Thanks for the part list - I do have 170mm therefore, I'm not going for 165mm because to lees reduction to get a really improvement.
I've also asked Unite and hoping their answer me.
Your right, after market is not ready for DUB at the moment...

Older versions of the shock (Pre-MY23 Super Deluxe Coil (A1-A2)) are not compatible with yoke/strut on the bike but all 2023 (C1) and newer versions are.
Sounds like you know more than me!Sounds like an issue with the sprag/roller clutch
