I've had my 2022 Levo Comp Carbon for a week and it already needs the motor replaced. I couldn't believe how loud it was compared to my 2018 Levo. Sounds like Specialized is replacing the motors without much hassle at least. Hopefully I only have to do this once.
I only ride my Levo on trails that I've been given permission by the land manager. Luckily I have a handful of great local trails that allow them. I ride my Stumpjumper everywhere else. I'm in Charlotte, NC.
I picked up a 2017 on close out for $1k off. While I haven’t had any issues with it and have no complaints at all, I still wish I would have got the 2018 for the new motor and slightly bigger battery.
I really see no need to make my Levo any faster. Riding true single track mtb trails, I wouldn't want it to go any faster, as the trails aren't really designed for it. If I'm going over 20 mph, the bike is pointed downhill and the motor isn't what's giving me the speed.
I agree. And I do tear my bikes down then clean and grease everything (service suspension also), at least annually. I’m in North Carolina and don’t really ride in much mud to be honest. Most of my local trails close after any major rain.
I contacted Specialized regarding this and was told no. This was his reply: "Unfortunately the trail remote is not compatible with the 2017 models. The 2017 frame is actually not drilled for the remote and also does not have the firmware updates available to let the remote interface into the...
So Specialized recommends using a dry or damp cloth to clean the bike. For most people that mtn bike, this isn't really an option. Is it ok to spray the bike with a low pressure garden hose for cleaning?
