Anybody get a "No Battery" error message on TCU? I got one and my bike would no longer power on. Tried topping off the charge, tried updating with Turbo Studio. Nothing worked. After numerous attempts it just started working again.

Sounds like your main plug wasn't seating correctly. A couple of people have reported they can be tight.

When did you make that order?



I have the black/carbon expert on order, when did you make your order?

Sorry for missing your post mate, it was one crazy week at work.
I‘ve ordered on May 10th based on non-confirmed bike availability. My local dealer was not sure about anything - color, size, trim… Crazy way to spend $11000+ .
Friday May 21st I got a confirmation, that my bike is being shipped from a warehouse in Netherlands to my LBS. I’m getting S4 Maroon Carbon Expert. Expected delivery sometime late next week.

Wow...very keen on first photos of that maroon expert. Keep ‘em coming?

Hello Turbros,
I am enjoying the thread so I signed up.
I have a 2018 Levo and thinking about a 22' maroon expert as well.
I have reservations about going to normal rims and tires on the heavier bike because I love the way my Minion 2.8s drift and handle rough and raw trail. Anyone have any thoughts about going from gen1 to gen 3?

Nice! What are your thoughts so far?

Nice! What are your thoughts so far?

Thanks
It’s so nimble and agile compared to my Kenevo in pic. It feels light on the trails. Climbs real well.
My Kenevo rolls faster because i have 29’s F/R

This Levo was my original order and now going to my brother. Hopefully mine arrives this week….

Been there, done that. I just went from a 18 Expert to a 22 Pro. Still too soon to tell. I do love the fatter tires when blasting through chunky terrain, but the new bike handles it well, but you feel it more. New bike corners with more confidence. I feel more trail chatter with the Pro, but I had upgraded the rear to a Ohlins coil on the Expert, so I'm not sure if it's the suspension or the narrower tires. Prefer the RFX to the Fox 38. Much better on small stuff and if nothing else, MUCH easier to get adjusted properly.

Thank you! I bought a Levo Pro and I'm waiting for delivery. I have the latest EP8 Santa Cruz Bullit + an EP8 RS Orbea Rise. I'll see how they compare.

I agree. I have an Orbea Rise and a Santa Cruz Bullit. Bullit tires feel better on harder trails. But the Orbea is absolutely superb also.

What is the main difference to the Levo Pro? I can't compare on the site.

 

[Shrek29]

My delivery for a UK S5 Expert has changed 4 times now, twice in the last week and I know mines one of the first UK allocation of Experts so don't hold your breath if your after one. Constant differant stories being fed to my LBS from Specialized and the story is always differant.
I think they need to get the press bikes back now and start offering them to customers who have been waiting the longest and I have trip to Scotland a week this Friday and no new bike?

 

[James_MTB]

My expert arrived at the LBS today! Can't wait
