Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

[jcmonty]

Thanks jcmonty....did you just get a single offset bushing or two of them?

What position is your flip chip in? Doesn't the flipchip achieve the same change in geometry as the bushing?

Thanks,

single offset bushing for the non-shaft side. I have the flip chip in low plus the offset bushing. Should be around 65.5 deg hta.

I'm guessing that car has split resonator though. Mine has the resonator exactly where the hitch would be.

Thule raceway might work

Got one. No bike fits over those thick arms. Especially full suspension bikes.

My first ride on my new Levo SL Comp AL in midum, here in northern Sweden. Also own a Focus Sam2 but wanted a more lively bike so when I saw that levon would come with a smaller engine I knew it was my kind of bike. Bought it without having seen it before in reality.

How do you rate it next to your Sam2? Is it a replacement, or just another part of the quiver?

 

[Paul Mac]

My 4 exhausts are fine!

What Altrea bike rack is that?
Is it the regular length or the extra long one?

They are two completely different bikes. The Focus Sam2 is more of a tank and Levo is more agile. I think the E8000 engine is too powerful in eco mode when I ride with others who have acoustic bikes and I never use Boost. I have Trail mode in the lowest setting.
My 14 year old son uses Focus now and loves it. It's great to be able to ride together.

It’s a Strada DL. Been using it for about 6 years now. I did have to order some longer straps than standard when I had 3” tyres on my Stumpy, but I think it comes with them as standard now.
Atera STRADA DL 3 to 4 bike carrier (UK lights) no. AR2603.

Thanks I'm looking for the two bike version, but it states max wheel base 120cm.
My Rail is 123cm, but your levo seems to fit on no problem.

 

[p3eps]

My Large Rail fitted on no problem.
I had to spread the 2 tyre bits about 1/2” further apart for the Levo SL as it’s XL. It could still go a few inches further apart if required.

First eMTB for me. I demo'd my friends Levo and a Fezzarri (spelling?) and fell in love. I was a denier early on but that stopped as soon as I rode one. Waiting for some weather to clear so I can actually go play. Also bought my gf a Spec Cirrus so we can tool around the local flat trails.

Why I bought an SL:
Feels very much like a non-E bike.
Light weight (compared to Levo)
Doesn't look like an eMTB unless you know what to look for.

Riding around on flat gravel and pavement trails I can shut the assist off and it feels just like my 26" Camber FSR. Trail mode has plenty of power but it still makes me work and be aware of gear selection. Totally happy with this bike and don't regret not going with full size Levo.

Ready for some better weather and open trails.

Can you please tell me the exact weight of the alloy comp in size M?

Great, thanks a lot! I think this will be my next bike, because I love the concept of the SL. And for me the price of the comp alloy is acceptable, compared to the comp carbon, when its „only“ about 1kg more...

The guards on the Levos that @73Steff has built for MB Cyclery look very effective:

Anyone fit a DHR on the rear and if so what is a good size to use?

 

[ridesantacruz]

I am running a 2.4 DHR on the rear with plenty of room. I think you could run up to a 2.5 with no problems.

So is that the WT version? And if you don't mind could you give me a measurement to the cross bars so I can compare to the stock tire.

 

[ridesantacruz]

Here are a few pictures so you can see for yourself, hard for me to measure to the crossbar because I put the fender on last ride. There is enough room to run a fender and not rub. Don't love the fender if anyone is thinking of doing it, it would be better if it connected to the lower cross bar and came up. I plan on trying something else. Still working on ideas.

 

[Hoppy]

these guys are supposed to be working on it. the one for my levo from them was very nice.

The sico mtb top half works fine and the lower I modified the Levo/Kenevo one to work. I’m sure though they have one in the works

 

[Johnathan]

Just weighed the new bike. Levo SL carbon (L), fox performance 36's 160mm travel, Hope Fortus 30/Pro 4 wheels, Maxxis Minion 2.6 front tyre, Minion 2.3, rear tubeless, Hope stem and carbon bars, Hope V4 brakes, Hope floating rotors 200/180mm, Sram XO1 cassette and chain, Sram GX mech, Crank Bros DH pedals, front mudguard = 18.58kg.

Where does this 1kg weight difference come from? Everything is the same apart from the frame based on the technical specification.

Is it possible that aluminum frame itself is more than 1kg heavier than the carbon version?

Or maybe there are some components' differences even though website says there are none?

I'm really curious as I would like to buy one.

Thanks!

There is no differances. I've been other both spec's before getting the carbon.

The carbon has some slight changes, like the cover on the chainstay pivot.

Billy no mates ride on lockdown day so went nice and steady looking for hills to ride up and get some miles in. settings were eco 35/35 with trail on 50/50, turbo 100/100 .
used eco mainly and that makes the bike feel like a light weight cross country bike.

2600ft climbing. 56% battery remaining. Bloody love this bike.

 

[Waynetta]

Took the chain and cassette off to give a good clean but couldn’t suss how to get the chain ring off. I slackened the pinch bolt on it but still couldn’t shift it. any ideas.

It will be friction fit, I was told they shouldn't be to hard to move, but you might need a puller if its got a little stuck.
