Waiting..Waiting

[Stu-k]

Hi Guys,
So ordered a Levo XL and its a 1 1/2 month wait. Driving me nuts, guy told me there always in short supply, did most people have to wait?
Ordered some new pedals and bits for it, but that didn't pass much time

When i was looking at Levos every shop i spoke to said at least 1 to 2 moth wait if it wasn't in stock/due in stock on most models except the carbons and the hard tails

Walked into my specialised concept shop and rode out with a levo Carbon comp in an hour, guess I was lucky!

They had the Carbons, but all the alloy ones, especially in an L are like golddust - my LBS have 1 on each size on order of the FSR and Comp, all of which have deposits on them, and when they spoke to the specialised rep he said he had one L Comp in the uk in the grey colour way that wasn't accounted for yet and that was it - he couldn't give a date on an L Comp (which is what i had my eyes on) for delivery even to the shop, other than an optimistic late May.

Seems like you can get a top end one, but the alloys are hard to get if not in stock at the shops. Where i am in Surrey (Reigate area) most of the local shops can't meet demand on any e-bike at the moment. I was at one place enquiring about a Focus Sam 2 and they said they already had a big waiting list.

When I spoke to Specialized HQ they told me that they are selling through all of the ranges. They completely didn’t expect them to have this kind of demand so early.

Local LBS told me in late February early March, then Late march, then early april, now late april. Finally gave up on them and found a dealer who got them in a month ago. From what I can tell specialized got a shipment in March but it didn't cover all of the orders so they were either pro rated or whoever placed their order first got them. This is USA, Europe may be a different situation.

I think ebike sales are getting huge since well sorted mtb bikes have started arriving from the top manufacturers , there seems to be a wait for lots of bike out there . Maybe an size xl is also less likely to in stock too , not all manufacturers even offer an xl , have found this the case helping a friend find the right bike in an xl

I ordered an XL Levo Carbon S-Works in mid-April. Dealer said sometime in June. I paid 1/2 up front, the Dealer said that may help pull one from another part of US since it is marked "sold" instead of "deposit". Doubt that it will help though. So I'm also waiting (not) patiently. The discussions and videos on this Forum really help on the waiting... Thanks!

Looking at the website it looks like it no longer comes with the ohlins rear shock and now a monarch along with the $500 increase. I feel your pain but I promise it's worth the wait. Most fun I've ever had on a bike!

Wow, just saw the $500 price increase. When I purchased in early April, it was at $500 lower, and I was able to get an additional discount from the dealer. Feeling better, but would rather be riding this weekend. Interesting regarding the rear shock. The spec sheet that was copied form the dealers catalog showed the Ohlins shock, but you are correct that the s-works page on the web is showing the Monarch.. I need to drop by my Dealer for a check. Thanks!
