For the users on the new firmware, how is walk mode now?
Its better but still not what it once was, it's very dependent on the gear you are in when you activate it, the larger the rear cog the better. It also does a wheel sensor check whereas before it would not so it would accelerate to max speed regardless of how fast the wheel was moving.

I have a 2021 Comp and will not do any updates until this gets sorted properly. Love my bike but I use walk mode and need it to do what its supposed to do......

What difference would that make ?
If you put 27,5 on rear your top speed will be a few km/h lower unless you correct wheel circumference setting and only dealer can change this setting ...

Mission control update done on android phone at 0930 UTC.
Just gone out to the garage and updated the motor firmware on my 2019 turbo levo comp.
All worked very well and less than the 10 mins advised by the app.
Have not ridden the bike yet but did test the walk assist.
The walk assist is now instant and much better.
Thankyou
Specialized
