Oh... and you're not that guy who buys the lightest bike in the shop then procedes to ride it with a 10kg rucksack full of shite are you?
Sounds like a good way to train actuallyOh... and you're not that guy who buys the lightest bike in the shop then procedes to ride it with a 10kg rucksack full of shite are you?
Please take a photo from the side when you fit the new rear shock as there are a ton of folks wanting to know if you can fit a DPX2 or similar on the SL and still fit the range extender.I’m gonna try a dpx2 sunday i think i got a 210x52.5 direct from fox through my lbs. since i could not find the 52.5 listed anywhere either. I’m hoping the external battery will still go in.?
Really?
What climbs?

A bit round the back of Pitfichie. Long climb up a grassy trail covered in snow. Just spun the cranks away until I got to the top. In ‘Trail’ mode, so 60% assistance. If I’d been in a higher gear, I’d have probably been putting in more torque, and spinning the back wheel instead.
Maybe it’s partly a lack of fitness on my part... but I was glad I had that massive cog!

About half way up...
Haha, maybe some errors in the tableA 534g chain that costs $420?!
Yeah. If that's where I think it is I know it well. Last time I did it was sat on the back of a quad holding onto my DH bike getting worse looks than Ebikers get on a trail centre climb from the DHers pushing up it.
For those wanting to push the SL into the more progressive territory these guys are releasing a new link that looks promising. I have exchanged an email, which stated it will work with the SL (just not tested as of yet).
Stumpjumper LT Link 2018-Current
I can see this + 160mm up front being a pretty "enduro-y" ride, especially if you can upsize.
Probably about 20 ish from your wallet and -50 on the bike. No clue actually hahaNever mind that, how many grams does it save? ?
How long before Coronavirus delays Levo SL production/deliveries?
Taiwan is not mainland China but that region is increasingly locked down.
A stump jumper/Levo shock bracket fits nicely and is around 12mm shorter than the SL/Kenevo shock bracket.For those wanting to push the SL into the more progressive territory these guys are releasing a new link that looks promising.

I'm switching between xtr and crank brothers mallet pedals;-)Your tyres and grips would both be awful for me and where/how I ride. But cool if they work for you. I see both the stumpy and the SL as very capable of Enduro style riding though rather than XC so would also choose an spd with more of a platform if clipping in. We're aw different tho, eh?
Thanks for explaining your choices.
It’s a Large and I expected a little heavyer.What size is it? Little heavier than expected.
You weighed it with no pedals?Today I started to assemble my SL in the bike shop and then take it apart at home and personalize it a bit!
I was really surprised about the weight if you pick up the SL, especially if you expect the weight of the Levo. I will continue to work on it tomorrow and hope to get it ready for the first ride on Sunday. If the weather permits.

Lego has always been lighter and warmer than mechano
I bet the Magura's when fitted are even lighter than your weighing session suggests too.
Magura send them out with the longest hoses possible.
Why do you feel like you need a chain guide? I removed mine off of my Levo because it rubbed. I have never ran a chain guide on my MTB's with the Narrow Wide chain set up. I have yet to have a chain come off. On a Levo it is even less necessary because you can't even pedal backwards to cause the chain to come off if you are not fully in a gear. I would be curious to hear from ridders that have removed their chain guides and had issues.Why no chain guide unnecessary?

Can say the same, being majorly unfit I still find I need it while trying not to use boost mode, trying to stay in eco or trail, for me the motor on the SL is to help me keep riding with fitter mates, not to boost past people, I want to get fitter and possibly in a year or 2, I will probably go to mainly Analogue again once fitness allows.I'm 6ft 2" tall and am 82kgs - so definitely not over weight... but am maybe underpowered!
On Saturday I was riding my SL up climbs where I NEEDED that dinner plate at the back. It was a slow climb, but it was something I'd have ran out of puff in about 2 mins of my regular bike. The SL had enough power to get me to the top - even though it took 15mins!
Sweet.Picked up my SL Comp carbon today. I few changes of components and it was on 17.77 kg.

That's a heavy levo ?Sweet.
What changes?
My medium Levo Carbon Comp 19 is 27.7kg set to ride (ie 500Wh battery, pedals, tubeless, carbon bars) so you've hit the mythical 4kg weight saving there.
