Spec Sheets:

I'll be honest with you Rob, I was saving up for one (of the belief that the mastermind TCU would be on all gen 3 models). But seeing the line up, I'm now contemplating to just go with S-works and have done .
Still, I imagine that a lot of tall riders will be very pleased as the S5 & S6 is longer than the old XL.

Spoiler alert tall riders, grab them whilst you can cus you know the bigger sizes are the first to sell out.

Keep up the vids Rob

I hate to say it but $5900usd is not cheap.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

“Cheaper”

*Controversial comment*
It's still ugly!

 

[maynard]

Carbon comp looks sic

 

[Kingerz]

Ouch, madly expensive for what they are with really basic povo specs and an old 500w battery thrown in. Why not get a Reign E+1 with all the XT goodies and a less fragile motor?
This brand is looking like it's cruising on yesterday's laurels.

Completely agree, glad I didn’t wait for one of these now. Terrible spec for the money...even against brands such as Trek.

Rob if you were to toss a coin with levo s works on one side and Yeti 160e on the other what one would you wish for.

 

[jeanmarc]

Did you have a chance to weight the Turbo Levo Comp Alloy ?
I'm also hesitant between this and Reign E+...

 

[R120]

Would have loved to have seen the Alloy Comp with a 38/or Zeb and then I think the spec would have pretty much been on point in the current market at around that price

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

glad I didnt wait to buy Sam a gen 3 now..

Controversial comment: It's still the best looking bike on the market!

It's not, but this might be;

I wonder which might give the best bang for buck in the 2022 range?

Not with that asymmetric frame.

.... But not by much

Yea, the asymmetric frame looks stupid...........

I think you might be right.. its a killer looking bike (I would have the yellow) and it it were full power, I reckon I might cave and buy one.
but then again I have liked 'almost' all spesh bikes over the years, which probably makes me a fanboy.. I even loved the kenevo X frame..

For sure. The price is beginning to look like a bit of a rip off. Especially when you consider what the non E equivalent costs. Add the battery, and motor and the figure increased by £2-2 1/2k, and no way just having electrical components adds that much.

And a rhythm fork with a pants damper

 

[maynard]

Once you own one price matters for shit . If your worried about price the new rocky Mountain looks awesome for the price. I think 6000aus with zeb fork and nice shock too.

I disagree, because unless you are a mincer you’ll soon realise how woefully poor the fork is on the £6300 base model. So will be out shopping again for a £1000 decent fork. Then you’ll be kicking yourself as you run out of power way before all of your riding mates who all ride cheaper bikes with more range….so all you’d be focusing on is how much money you spunked on the bike.

i mean for me, I didn’t even like how the Levo rode

 

[crazyethnic]

Up grading is fun, it's what makes the world go round there are no bad bikes out there, it's the ride not the bike.

 

[crazyethnic]

So if you believe that bull shit buy the base model and bling the shit out of it now thats fun.

Maybe @SparkleHedgehog can add in "depending which side you look from"

 

[apac]

Can I just remind people that in 2019 I bought a brand new base model Levo for £3400

It was probably better specced than this one too.

I genuinely love the look of these from both sides. It’s like saying a Ducati 916 only looked good from one side. Not true. It’s a work of art from either side.
Each to their own folks
