Still tempted by the frameset option. It looks like there is a hole that might be able to be used for a derailleur cable, but it's underneath the chainstay..
That fat downtube though..

S-Works Turbo Levo 4 Frameset
The Specialized Science Club Introduces the S-Works Levo 4, an electric mountain bike so advanced it transforms you into a cycling cyborg. Together you'...

Official vid from Specialized now on YT: The blurb at the beginning reminds me of "man and machine in perfect harmony" (who here is old enough to remember that?)
an alternative point of view....

Looks great at first sight. No chunky motor any more.

@Rob Rides EMTB as you have an s-works available, can you see if it's possible to run a derailleur cable through the frame please?
Is the AXS power cable hole large enough?

Well, geo doesn't work too well for me, another bike doing the biggest jumps in the most statistically dense sizes, 455 is a touch too short for me, 480 is too big. Battery weight seems too high even though density is on par with Bosch.
"I was able to get around 23 miles of range and 4,000 vertical feet of climbing out of a full battery, and that’s using a mix of Turbo and Trail modes."
Again seems pretty poor...
After all the hype, my expectations were set too high hoping they might have made/paid for better battery density or a more efficient motor.

okay, all positive aspects for the last gen Levos are gone for me:
- Big downtube
- heavier
- brose motor can rattle now

I felt similar about the stumpy 15 looks wise but its a no for me. *clings to stumpy evo tightly*
As a Gen 3 owner, I refuse to drink the Specialized Kool-Aid. There's nothing “Super” about the Gen 4. It’s overhyped, overweight and late to the party. Pretty disappointing, to be honest.
I’ll keep my current pimped-out Levo with its freshly rebuilt motor until something genuinely revolutionary and reliable hits the market, ideally a belt-driven gearbox system from a reputable brand.
Nothing "supernatural" to see here.
Time to hit the trails.

Opinions are divided when it comes to the drive. The Avinox has noticeably more power and is also a little quieter. However, I find the Specialized motor somehow more harmonious and well-rounded. In terms of the bike itself, I think the Levo is clearly ahead in almost every respect, despite its higher overall weight.

Crazy to think the alloy versions will be heavier again when they finally come out

I garantee that build doesn't ride much better than the Amflow, simply because it will have to make all the same tradeoffs to reach the weight.

Specialized is back as the king of the mountain imo
Just seen this and im disapointed!
Im still riding my Gen 2 Levo, did think about upgrading but the Gen 4 puts me off for the following reasons
Two teir motor power, you have to buy the S works to get full power, seems a bit off to me, not sure why Spesh have done this and who's to say if you buy the Sworks for this reason and then later Spesh decide to release an update for the lower teir bikes upgrading them to the full power the S works has
The S works is now heavier than my gen 2 expert at 23.68kg
The battery is now fitted and removed from the side of the down tube rather than being slotted in from the bottom, doesnt look as nice
Yes it has a bit more power and a bigger battery but that dosent make up for the weight and two teir motor options
So it looks like this will be the first time i upgrade to a non Spesh e bike! which is a shame
