I run a Cane creek progressive spring on my levo it's really good, I suppose getting the correct spring rate is key, I had to go up 50lbs on the Levo compared to my Orbea Wild ,

Marzocchi Bomber CR is a bargain i’ve heard. Does it has shaft that can handle Levo’s side forces?

In the context of this thread, you should contact them and ask. This isn't the place to share anecdotes.Marzocchi Bomber CR is a bargain i’ve heard. Does it has shaft that can handle Levo’s side forces?

If possible, can you include some contact info? Trying to keep this as "official" as possible. Thanks!
Sure, I contacted Formula's product support (Product support – Formula) and asked whether they allow use of Formula Mod Coil in Levo. Their response was "unfortunately our Mod shock is not compatible with this frame".
I was interested in the 2023 RS Super Deluxe Coil and asked whether RS recommends it to be used on Gen3 Levo (from SRAM/RS rider support). The reply: "Unfortunately, we do not recommend using the new Super Deluxe Ultimate Coil on the Specialized Turbo Levo". What a pity

This Thread isn't for posting our anecdotes about using unsupported shocks unfortunately. The goal here is to have a list of shocks that the manufacturers actually stand behind. Though you had a good experience, what we know is that SRAM will not support you if you have a problem.
Edit: this isn't quite fair. They may support you because you already own the shock. As an analogy I have heard of multiple owners of Fox coil shocks receiving X2 replacements under warranty. But SRAM have explicitly said that it's not supported on the Levo.

I recently asked PUSH regarding 2022 Turbo Levo and CC Long Stroke kit, requiring a 230x65 shock.
I'm a huge fan of Cascade links. Currently running one on my Dreadnought with a Storia V3 and loving it.
Thinking about the standard Cascade link for the Levo with 210x55 E-Storia coil shock. Seem to have the best vibes.
It's probably just me, but PUSH has had a consistent history of pushing me away. No bueno...

Apparently Push is readying a new stronger eyelet for yoke-type bikes as well. No word yet on the official upgrade process but a riding buddy of mine has had his shock on for service for 3 weeks and they let him know the eyelet was being upgraded.

Push issued a voluntary recall on limited 11.6 shock on Levo (gen2 and gen3) due to potential shaft eyelet loosening. Push will update the shock with new components.

First post updated with recall notice.
The coil discussion is really contradicting (Not this forum but just in general)
I'm even more confused now.
- My local Specialized concept store say that only DVO and EXT coil shocks are compatible.
- When emailing TFTuned about this issue, this is the reply I got...
"Hi George,
Ok, as a rule do ignore all the chat on forums just ask us directly.
Of the brands we sell the following are supported and will be warrantied if they fail on a Levo frame. We are the warranty centre for Ohlins, Cane Creek and FAST in the UK and we work closely with SramTech who warranty RockShox so I can tell you this with confidence.
Cane Creek Kitsuma
Ohlins TTX
RockShox Super Deluxe Coil – RS are bringing out an updated version of the shock with a steel shaft but the current stock is still supported on these frame.
FAST Fenix
Fox/ Marzocchi not supported.
If you want our advice on which shock works best for EBikes in terms of performance and reliability it’s the Ohlins TTX every time.
Hope that helps you decide!"
To be honest the shock breaking isn't what i'm most worried about, it's the frame/parts that get taken out with it when it fails.

Have this already been here?
This is possible using a RockShox shock but with a very important caveat. We have only one shock in our lineup that makes this possible by running a special steel lower eyelet that offers the strength required to run on the yoke-style linkage featured on your Turbo Levo. I must emphasize that the below part number is the only coil shock in our lineup that is compatible with your bike. Running any other coil could void the warranty of both your frame and shock.

Well in typical large company fashion, we've had now 3 different contradicting replies from SRAM...
Where did this information come from? Anyone reading please note the stroke on this shock is longer than stock so Specialized will likely void any warranty EDIT: for Gen2 and S1 Gen3

It was here, but in another thread.
This one, post #399 2022+ Turbo Levo - Suspension and Coil shocks for Gen 3 - Fox 38 vs Zeb
After scanning the forum, I was unable to find much on Specialized and the warranty for a Turbo Levo for a frame. My LBS (San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA) says, "No warranty with a coil!"
In my case, the thought is to replace the Fox Float on Gen 3 with a coil. Figured to post here first.
The same LBS did indicate any air shock is OK.
Thanks!

It is great knowing that we have choices for coil shocks. The shock makers are standing behind some number of products.
Does Specialized honor their warranty for a coil shock on a Turbo Levo?
Perhaps I missed a post , or two, or many, but I have not found any information online where the frame failed when a coil shock was installed.

Any shock will fail before frame...if it's correct lenght, with correct installation kit and correctly installed.
Thanks. Makes sense.
As noted, absent clarity from Specialized, if the frame were to fail, the LBS here says one is SOL (Sh*t Outta Luck). I figure the risk is worth it at this point.

Here's an article from Rockshox. So it seems that their new coil shock is not compatible even it has steel shaft 
And note, works on Kenovo.

Wow. Thanks. That web page is hard to understand at first glance (for me). Seems a specific model will work: RS-SDLC-ULT-B1 . "B1" being important which is the 2023 model.Here's an article from Rockshox. So it seems that their new coil shock is not compatible even it has steel shaft

Does anyone know if regular EXT Storia will work fine on Levo (gen3) frame? Or is it only e-storia which is recommended?
