in reality the total lenght of oneup 150 is shorter about 8/10 mm than the x-fusion 125, for the lever, i have the oneup

Does anyone use a Fenix 6 with their Levo?

My Fenix used to connect straight to the power meter on my old KSL, but on the Levo it doesn’t?

Power rates (from me) show on the TCU so I guess stuff is working right.

 

[Stevie H]

Anyone know what the latest firmware update is my one came up today saying new Update take it to dealer

This seems to be a bug, it's been mentioned a few times over recent pages.

I do, just again today. Always worked flawlessly. Got the 6x, though.

Mine’s the Pro, always worked with flawless with the old KSL

I’ll have a bit of a play with it

I think Sram use 6mm hoses, usually the thinner the stronger of brake power, and yes, those sleeves will guide your cable all the way through even cross the rear frame joint part.

Sram use 5mm hoses. I tried to install a Hayes hose with 5.3mm and I failed. Anything thicker than 5mm will not fit the sleeves on a Levo Comp Alloy Gen3.

Is anyone interested in a nearly new levo frameset sworks s5. reason for sale i want a kenevo sl

 

[Mike640]

I just read the "MBR" Gen3 review and found out, that the Levo has "only" 139mm of travel. Now it makes perfect sense why i feel the bike so unbalanced with a 170mm fork...

 

[beutelfuchs]

Did anyone have the impression that the motor is once in a while pushing too much for the amount of current pedaling force?
Sometimes going uphill I have situations that I am barely lifting my legs, not pushing at all and the bike pushes me up while the display shows 350w power input which is ridiculous. After I stopped pedaling completely for few seconds the behavior is back to normal.

is this true? that would be some kind of fooling, woulnd't it?

 

[Mike640]

It works on 80% of the time, but in some trails with some speed, the back of the bike complains a lot...

It looks like.. In the same site the Kenevo Sl have 166mm instead of the 170mm...

Specialized Turbo Levo Pro e-bike review (2021) - MBR

The Specialized Turbo Levo Pro is part of the most popular e-bike range in the world and it gets a major revamp for 2021. So what's new?

Ok, I'm a little confused here - I can't seem to get any info from reviews etc... Quick Question regarding the mastermind TCU2 (Carbon bikes) v TCU (Alloy Bikes) - what are the practical differences?

Is it that the TCU2 interface provides more info than the older TCU, but that the software benefits of mastermind are still available on the Alloy bikes (albeit through your smartphone or other computer) or is the difference more stark in that the Alloy bikes are effectively running on 'old' software?

Any explanation would be appreciated...

 

[Baron]

Gen 3 alloy bikes have Gen 2 TCU.

Thanks, that seems clear, however, is the TCU the 'brains' as well or just an interface?

The TCU is the main controller on both bikes. The older type basically shows you your battery and mode, the new one has a screen and can be customised to show all sorts - there's a mastermind how to thread pinned at the top of the spesh section.

Both versions run with the same firmware for the motor.

Mission control will be the same more or less with either, but with some extra functionality with the mastermind to configure that.

Thank you! So effectively the mastermind TCU on the Carbons is a nicer interface than the TCU1, but that the 'mastermind applications' on the Alloy bikes are still available through a smartphone. Less convenient but they're still there if needed?

On the smartphones, the app is called "Mission Control", but yes this gives you much of the information you would see on the Mastermind's screen- though with additional functionality like telling it how far you want to ride and it will automatically adjust motor power through the app.

"Blevo" another app, also works with the Original TCU, but has been locked out with the Mastermind.

The MasterMind also features Specialized's new MicroTune function. MicroTune allows on-the-fly adjustment of assistance levels in 10% increments

I am looking to buy a X2 shock if anyone has one for sale?

Megalevo!

 

[rydeezie]

Ebikes +Shuttle = even more downhill fun!

*please excuse my mismatch wheelset. Rear m735 is getting built up right now.

 

[Christox]

just read the "MBR" Gen3 review and found out, that the Levo has "only" 139mm of travel.

Thats should be a measurement or type error. My Levo gen3 in S3 delivers 149mm of vertical reartravel when using 55mm stroke. Measured with 2 inserted wires 210mm and 155mm mid-mid of the bolts.

Thank you for examining but please clamp the bike by the seat post (edit) and not by the carbon part

 

[Stevie H]

I prefer to clamp my carbon frame on the top tube. Not a lover of doing it on the down tube too much stress I think.

 

[David666]

I would like to purchase a Pro Levo Gen3 and there is no more stock for Pro S3 in France and no date for any availability (seems that there will be no more production).
Do you know if there will be some new additional production in coming months or if Specialized is just waiting for new colors release ?
