Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

[16Rally]

Short answer...go ride your bike.

LOL.
Oh I ride my bike, 3 times a week. Already past 1600 miles since April.
I only ask because I ride so much and the difference adds up!

My 2022 Levo has 2160 mm pre-configured for wheel circumference. The same for my buddy's 2023.
I've measured the actual circumference on my stock 27.5 x 2.6 Eliminator to be 2251 mm. And I've been looking thru some tire charts and can't find any 27.5 tire with a circumference even close to 2160 mm.
So my question is, why is the wheel circumference for the Levo set to 2160 mm resulting in ride distance measurement that is 4% lower than actual?

Look here…

Tire Size Calculator

To use the calculator, simply choose a wheel and tire size from the drop-down menus, or enter the wheel and tire size in millimeters (mm) in the "Diameter (mm)" boxes. The calculator will automatically estimate the circumference in mm (used by most new cycle computers) and cm (used by some cycle...

2247 is what it says for a 27.5x 2.6

I agree, I measured mine at 2251 which is pretty darn close.
However, the question is why our bikes come configured at 2160?
And to change the setting in the Levo controller requires a trip to the dealer.

If the number is smaller, your speed limiter allows the bike to go faster. You are going around 21-22 mph while the Speedo reads 20.

I bought my son a '23 Levo Carbon base in S4 and am looking at upgrading the rear shock. Found a great deal on a Fox Float X2 Factory. Are there any clearance issues with this shock on this size frame.

My 23 Levo Expert S4 came with Float X2. No clearance issue.

If the shock is a 2021-2023 model, there is a voluntary warranty recall and Fox will exchange it for a 2024 model. Contact Fox when you get the Shock to see if your shock falls under the warranty.

I sent my X2 back through my LBS for the usual warranty issues on these , when I received it back it wasn't a new shock it was the same shock with the new updated parts/seals etc.

Can you send me a link to more info on this? I have a 2022 version of this shock on my Orbea Rise, bought the shock new about 12 months ago, so that one is definitely in range.

Do you happen to have a link where I could read about this?

Mine was direct. The shock was squishy so I filled out the online warranty form with Silverfish and uploaded receipt. Very good and quick service.

I'm contemplating a carbon handlebar for my 2022 Levo Comp.
I've been able to lookup the backsweep and upsweep specs for the stock alloy Specialized bar currently on my Levo, but does anyone know the rise?
TIA

 

[TheSnowShark]

Hello.. rise is 30mm on mine

 

[WestCoastRider]

Hey, what's it like replacing the rear brake, specifically pulling a new line? My Orbea Rise required me to drop the battery and motor, wondering if the Levo Carbon is a similar endeavor, in which case I might just upgrade within brand as opposed to going to "Shiguras"

 

[Andeh]

On the carbon ones, there's a plastic tube that runs continuously from the rear to the port by the head tube. So you can stuff most brake hoses through from the rear and it'll pop out at the front. The only exception is really large diameter hoses like Hayes Dominion don't fit in the tube, so you've got to yank the tube out, drop the motor, and route the hose carefully.

Also very curious about this..

Yes , just fitted mine with the levo tune. Fit is good on the S4. Seems to be quite progressive as it's shipped. Def quite plush in the first part of the travel and the mid stroke- bottom out is an improvement over the stock X2. ( heavier rider - I'm over 300psi on the X2 to make 28% sag)

 

[BikingBad]

How many volume spacers are you using?
