I dont mind heavy EMTBs or side loaded battery, but 160/150 travel isn't enough for 24+kg bike in my opinion and this is s-works weight with pedals. How heavy alloy bikes are gonna be?

840wh battery is too much for the most of my ridings, I would like to see 600wh battery option in stock, not as additional purchase. I would also benefit from even smaller battery like 400wh, occasionally I have only an hour or so for riding I dont even take a water bottle on those rides so no point to carry big 840 or even 600 battery.

I forgot :
- Having to pay more for the top motor spec, for a brand already tagged 'premium' (with premium² prices).
More petty than premium, isn't it ?

The first S-Works I see on the trail I'm gonna ask them what toothpaste they recommend...
You don't think the marketing department will knockout some customer specific special editions ?

I dislike that I like the Trail Rail + Get 5 more than the Levo GEN 4. After I sold my Rail I thought it would always be at the bottom of my list.

A higher resolution rotation sensor in the rear, I see even the Sram powertrain has it. It seems like that data would be very useful for the motor control. Note: Maybe it has it and I just can't tell from the pics so far.

Im with you, had gen 2 and 3 levos..... good bike but that Rosenberg battery connector is a torture for picking up metal cuttings and glitching when wet. Motors never let me down but electrics delicate. Sill have the gen 2 as a spare, sold the levo 3 for a trek rail 9.8 XT gen 3. Its brilliant but bit heavy and you need to tighten everything up as it all gets loose.

PS, stick a chip in it and add a 38t chainring using spider, chain bolts and 1mm spacer. Transforms the bike to a rocket.
