Newb here, yo!

Howdy! Long-time mountain biker here, (was out for a few years due to an injury - and then from a lack of riding partners...), but now back in it! I was introduced to e-biking by a random invite from a buddy of mine to go mountain biking out of the blue, (he never rides), and when I show up he's riding an e-bike...needless to say I wasn't keeping up with my 5-years-out-of-the-saddle. Anyway, on the way home, I decided to swing by a couple LBS and test out some e-bikes for myself. I started with the Haibikes, then Giant, and finally Specialized...the Levo just felt right, so I bought it! (2018 Levo Comp Carbon)

Currently thinking about throwing a 2019 Lyrik 160mm, and possibly a different shock/yoke combo...and even contemplating running a 29er up front with a 2.5/2.6 Minion DHF. (I have already put on a bigger chainring, and shorter stem, FWIW.) Thoughts?

Tuscon?

I'd recommend riding it as is for a while, see how you like it. I'm partial to 29ers myself though, so I can see where you're going...

San Tan, actually.

FWIW, I have been riding it for 5-6 months already, and have a couple hundred miles on it, I'd guess...

I typically ride bigger travel bikes (160-180mm), and wanted to try out the Kenevo, but the LBS didn't stock them, but I loved the feel of the Levo and pulled the trigger when they offered to take $1,000 off of the price.
