Love that bike, how is the DVO fork and shock? I have a JadeX on my rail that Jesse did for me, but im looking at doing that exact setup you have if I get a levo. Let me know if it ever pops up for sale

I always keep "inventory" of hangers for my bikes, including a hanger zip tied to the seat rails on each bike.

Basically how I’ve felt mine was since new, but assumed normal…

I feel like mine can go up and down one minute it feels like it has good assistance the next its not as strong. Sometimes if you bounce on the seat while pedalling it can make it work better.
simple TCU vs MasterMind
Do I loose a lot ? On MasterMind you can see some extra stats (like expected range?), but some of them will be available on my Garmin Edge thru Ant+, right? (like power, battery etc.)
I'm just thinking If i need higher version with Mastermind, when I plan to change some parts anyway.... (fork, possibly shock, brakes)

You also don’t get Microtune on the standard TCU where you can cycle support/peak power up (they set in Microtune to the same percentage) up and and down in 10% increments. For me this is the most useful feature rather than using Eco/Trail/Turbo.

Fellas, on the 22 comps with the 36 Rythm E fork, is it possible to upgrade to the Grip 2 damper still? I am seeing conflicting information. Thanks in advance!

my baby.
for a long time I follow this levo tread, now I could buy a top maintained expert s3 (178cm) from the test fleet of my dealer with new 700wh battery. engine 3400km runs very quietly. warranty, like a new bike sale.

So what shock upgrades can you propose for Levo gen3 ?
any longer options than 210x55? and at the end, does it make sense to put Cascade link (standard shock) when it makes leverage ration even higher?
and there are some problems (even snapper air shocks) with longr cascade link.

It’s not the leverage ratio that’s causing problems with some shocks, it’s the side forces being put on the shock by the frame design. The cascade link raises the progression to 28%, it’s keeps the bike from bottoming out so easy. IMO, that’s the way it should have come from the factory.
If you want a longer shock then I’d say go with the long shock kit from Cascade, you can run a 235x65 shock and it will increase the travel to 165mm.

From what I can tell there have been less shock breakages once Specialized removed that flip chip at the end of the clevis. The Gen 3 without the chip seems to be more of a solid connection (I say solid in the best way an offset clevis can be).
There was a post on here about the new RS coils, there’s a specific part number that RS says to use for the Levo. If you go with the coil I’d be sure to make sure you get that one.

Hi, I sent an email to Andreani Italian importer Ohlins and he confirmed that there are no compatibility problems between ttx22 coil and Turbo Levo

I'm surprised (in a good way) with range on my Levo, 2 days in a row I did about 1900m elevation (40km, 55km)
First day, most of a time I used Trail (40 support, peak power 80)
and on a second day, as I felt a bit more tired, most of the time I used turbo (which I set to 50% support, 100% power).
It's way more than on Bosch, but also I feel that power delivery is more 'gentle' (natural?).
Or should I set support a bit higher?

Does anybody have any info of the Spesh lineup for 2023?
I initially wanted to go for a Levo Expert but now have the cash for a Pro, which I really dig, but I'm concerned to order one now and then in one or two months they'll release an updated version. I know usual lifecycle with Spesh is three years, so there should be no big changes, but you never know.

2023s are already out, there’s no changes with the Pro except a price boost….in the UK anyway. You’d be better off looking for a 2022, sure they’re discounted by now. I bought mine for £2k off retail as the store was clearing out 2022 inventory.

Currently working abroad, gonna check with my LBS in two weeks or so. There was a 500 Euro price bump in central Europe as well. Don't think they have any in stock at the shop now but it's available online through Spesh. Wouldn't mind to get a "22" model for a reduced price if there were no changes.
Cheers to Fort William, been there in September, nice little town.
