I feel obliged to complete the look.....

Not loving the orange decal

Beautiful bike
Do the orange decals peel off ?
If you don't like them , should be able to whip them off and replace with a bespoke set , whatever colour to you like for about £20
I've done it to just about every fork I've had
It really helps with my OCD

i have the luftkappe installed. How’s the secus and what does it do for the suspension?

i like the luftkappe but I would imagine the secus is better. I may consider it for my Kenevo

 

[Gutch]

It increases your negative air chamber in your fork. It feels coil like thru the 1st 2/3rds of the stroke. You will want to increase your airshaft by 10mm to compensate for the sag of the Secus, not necessary though. I’m still riding and testing, but so far it feels good. You will run less tokens in your fork and slightly more air pressure.

Ok same thing the vorsprung luftkappe does. I really like the feel. It performs like my 2022 fox 40. The secus probably increases the negative chamber even more than the luftkappe. I opted for the luftkappe because it was only a $100 upgrade when i had the fork travel increased to 170mm. I am no longer using tokens but i did increase the pressure for mid and end stroke support. The small bump sensitivity is so good. So I guess I’ll go secus with my 180mm fox 38.

Nice bike. What travel fork did you go with?

170mm thanks

Makes it a bit of a plough bike at times

I took some pics today, here's my favourite colour way. Comp Alloy, £6750.

 

[Gutch]

Cool color, but man those welds look cheesy. JMO

 

[roccobarocco]

I like the colour....!

Agreed.

Got some photos?

The Specialized US site now shows the two new alloy versions but they do not show the Comp Carbon. Anyone have any information on why?

- Cheers

 

[gbarfoot]

Maybe we are not getting them due to availability?

Has anyone added a 200mm dropper yet?

Cant work out if a fox transfer 200mm fill fit. I want the dropper slammed and out the way

I have a one up 210 on my S5. Haven’t tried slamming it though as it would be way too low.

Seat tube is way lower than my gen2 as the 210 slammed on my old XL was perfect.

what size is your bike? If it helps, I can check if I can insert it all the way.

Thanks that would be helpful. its s4

I'm set on a fox transfer if I'm honest

I know Will Greenfield on YT has a Pro with a 175 dropper and it goes in this much in the photo which is plenty low enough. The 200mm transfer is obviously quite a bit taller. I'll be honest the 175 xfusion manic is fine even at the depth I have it. So I may be ok with a 200mm

These non tuned Kashima 38s are quite something. First ride out last night on settings I was using with the 170mm Elites that came with the Levo Expert and they were ridiculous. Never had forks that float over chunder the way these do. Plenty of tuning to do but right out the box they are so so plush. Definitely upgrading the rest of the parts now.

Aren't they the same as the Elite version apart from the kashima?

They are. Slight compression tune on the grip 2 elites i had though.

My elites were buttery smooth after TF Tuned had them. But they didn't perform like these

Standard/old TCU on this?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Yes.

 

[brook__]

Yes.

Damn... that's a little bit disappointing. Not the end of the world though.

The Carbon Comp will have the Mastermind TCU.

I have one with Mastermind.

 

[akira]

I have one with Mastermind.

@Mike640 you are the reason I know!

 

[akira]

I am interested to see when the Carbon Comp will be listed on the U.S. Specialized website.

 

[crazyethnic]

It's listed on the Australian sight in a matt black and I have to say it looks ok.
