Levo SL Gen 1 Need advise for sizing

[David666]

I am looking for an advise for my girlfriend. She is looking for a Levo SL Gen2 and she is 1.52m tall (5ft).
She has the opportunity to test a S2 which was not so bad but Specialized sizing is advising a S1. But S1 has shorter travel with rear shock lower spec. She is now hesitatîng…

S1 will feel snappier and more nimble due to shorter travel, but less stable at speed. S2 shock is higher spec so will perform better if she wants to ride tricky trails. Consider having her test both back-to-back if possible to see which fits and feels best in real riding. My advice would be to go with whichever size feels most stable

Thank you for your reply. It is exactly what I already told her.
Unfortunatly, she did not have the opportunity to test a S1 and I am looking for some experience from Levo SL riders.
