Hi guys
Newbie here, I am just about to buy my first emtb and have settled on the Levo.
I am after some help on which one to buy.
I have it down to 2 as my budget is £3500 So I can get a 2018 base levo or for the same money I can get a 2017 expert which has much better spec on the cycle parts.
I know the motor has had upgrade this year but does it out weight the much better spec on the 2017 bike.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Beanie

I would go for the better motor, it won best motor of the year in a German emtb mag, I’ve a 2018 Carbon comp and it is the nuts, run what ya bought for a while and if it don’t suit upgrading the bike parts has gotta be a cheaper way to go. I think we all get hung up on spec too much.

Welcome @Beanieuk ?

Agree with @Theolegit - I’d go for the 2018 and upgrade as necessary from there ?

Thanks guys, going to take your advice and go for a 2018 comp as with the trade in at evens I can get it down to £3900. Cheers again

Cheers again guys, just been to the local bike shop and they have beaten the Evens price by £75. So the Levo had been ordered. Not sure on colour yet as I like the silver as much as the red one so it will be which one turns up first.

Let us all know when it arrives. I'm undecided on the 2018 Trek Powerfly 7 or the Levo. I'm excited for you right now. lol

 

[Beanieuk]

Haha, cheers will do ???

 

[Theolegit]

Well done on the deal that’s cracking, I reckon the comp will be all the bike you will ever need

 

[Beanieuk]

Well I ended up with the carbon comp in the end. Lots for messing around waiting for my bike to come in so I ended up with the shops demo bike for £4000. I was the only person to demo it ?
