Looking so forward to it. Looking thru the Mission Control stuff and talking to the shop, I am in complete amazement on the evolution of integrating a bike with a computer. Is youtube the best place for learning the app? Any other places to get insight on MC?

Youtube is probably the best but there seem to be new videos popping up all the time on this subject. Some like having it set so you can get full power if you push the peddles hard enough whereas others like to set a limit on the assist to force the rider to work harder. I like the limit and if needed I simply hit the up button to go full on power. It's instant and easy. 92 Nm of power is nice and going from a 30lb regular mtb to a 50+ lb emtb, I do not feel the extra weight unless I'm carving hard and with good tires it will just bite in. You're in for a treat.
This will make sense once you get the bike and can connect to play with the settings.

Mission Control - Understanding Support vs Peak Power in Mission Control App v2.0
Hi Specialized I have a 2019 Turbo Levo. I'm wanting clarification of Support vs Peak Power plse. Have read forum answers where I can and I think I've established that at 100% Support and 100% Peak Power, with a 500w battery, say rider input of 100 watts then bike will deliver 320w (3.2 x...

Other - Mastermind (TCU 2) "How to" guides
The New TCU is here. I was going to try to grab video sections and take screen prints, but I've just found these which make a perfect thread start. These are all really short and clear, so even if you have the attention span of a goldfish like me, they're all watchable in a couple of minutes...

I ran mine with a 170 for a while before I put the long travel kit, it rode great (I had mine in the mid setting).

la garantie ne fonctionne pas si vous montez une fourche de 170mm sur le Turbo Levo 2022 ?

I always assumed it was different based on the fact of the frame only price tag. If it is mot any different the frame only price is a RIPOFF.
Spesh is one of the few companies that will sell a frame only directly to the public, I think that’s why they’re priced the way they are. FWIW, my buddy will sell any brand he carries as a frame only, they’re only slightly cheaper than the Levo frame.

And some of the Levo S Works frames are selling for $6400 on sale. Not bad I might add if you want to build up your own beauty!

Curious, has anyone successfully put a 29 wheel in the back of their mullet set up frame? If so, how is it and what size tire are you getting away with?

Project X works almost complete
I’m running a 29” 30mm internal wheel with 2.5” High Roller with Tannus insert. Also running Cascade Long Shock Link in Low. The side to side clearance is plenty but the seat stay and bottom bracket is pretty tight. Can’t use my mud guard anymore. So far I’ve ridden some pretty muddy and snowy conditions without major clogging. I generally ride dry dusty conditions so it will for sure be good most of the year here.
So far I’m pretty happy with the change.

I think it makes more sense to buy a Carbon Comp for $6700 and upgrade and sell of the unused parts. The frames are the same. I guess S-Works resale value would be higher. Lots are parts on the Comp would be very usable out of the box.

As an S-Works owner, I would agree with BruceJr and will do that for the next bike. If the S-Works is in your budget, I think it would be more fun to pick and choose certain upgrades. You can always rebadge if you really want the S-Works logo's.

Exactly. You are better off buying any carbon complete bike and selling off the parts you don’t want. You will come out way ahead.

That rear tire shoulda been replaced about 5 rides ago... ;-)
Except the Pro which for some reason is not on sale with other non SWorks models.
Also, the base carbon model for $5100 only has a 500wh battery. You can upgrade the battery for about $1100 and resell the 500wh battery which after that switcheroo would be a great base to build up. The base model kit especially for fork is pretty sorry though. So the Comp is more of the sweet spot IMO.
Personally, I think the Expert is the perfect setup with Fox 38 Performance Elite and XO1 kit. Only weak spot is the DPS Performance shock (which is best replaced with a coil and long shock link anyways) and the Roval Wheels. I found a local shop willing to go below the current advertised sale price.
It’s still shredding in the snow
Also, the base model doesn't have the Mastermind TCU.
Only size S1 has the DPS shock. 2022 expert models have the X2 performance, and 2023 modes have the X2 performance elite shock.
True. Both would benefit from the Long Shock kit IMO.
The LED TCU is a big plus in my mind as it allows you to gain full functionality of the Blevo App out of the box. I had to source an LED TCU for my expert for this reason. Blevo is a game changer for me and a huge reason I went to an EMTB in the first place.

Will perform well, but depends on the damper tune.
