    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    I "need" to replace my wife's bike and am tossing up between the SL2 and Kenevo SL, anyone ridden them back to back want to offer an opinion? I guess the fact that my sons and myself might "borrow " it means we are leaning towards the KSL but I wonder if it is too much bike for every day use?

    STOLEN BIKE for awareness

    That sucks. If you do need a replacement in a hurry my local guy (in Switzerland) was building one up a week in the same colour. mountainthrill.ch not sure of the size.

    Hey taxi ! my pseudo after more than 40 years driving taxis in Geneva.

    You are after a unicorn! I have a couple of Specialized Levos and am happy with the noise volume. 2022 Comp Carbon with a 500w battery comes in at 21 kgs and given you will be loaded do you really need light weight? Or what is the downside of full fat for 90% of your riding? Might be worthwhile...

    When you pass 50 . . . You are an old fart, so let's see your ride!

    Storage of ebike in house - hidden in a cabinet?

    Only thing I can add is if you have a narrow/high space (with a cupboard on the other side of the wall) is too store it vertically and cut a slot in the wall for tyres so the depth/protrusion into the room is at a minimum and no faffing to grab it and ride.

    How many % discount you had when you bought your eMTB?

    December 2021 15% on Specialized Comp Carbon and a new spare 500w battery for Chf300.

    SRAM XG 1275 Eagle 10-50 v 10 -52

    The bike shop recommended this and did it for me on a new Levo, straight swap but they removed a chain link. It reduces chain slap in higher gears and is easier to engage a 50 rather than 52.

    Levo Gen 3 Color of frame question

    My dealer ordered 10 in February 2021 and was allocated 3, I was in the right place at the right time to get one!

    Levo Gen 3 Color of frame question

    I have a 2022 Comp Carbon which comes in matt black and I love the look. In previous models the CC was different from the S-Works frame so a build your own using a CC frame could be an option.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    I saw one live 2 weeks ago and have to say it's the pick of the litter colourwise. Mine should arrive this week, the dealer threw in a 500w battery so a no brainer price wise.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Only black as far as I know, it does have the new control unit and a few better bits than the Aluminium frame, brakes and drive train are two.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    You might be lucky, my dealer said no chance. I was looking at a ALU comp but the spec level dropped quite a bit from comp carbon so I jumped on that at Chf9000 retail, I got a deal as he included a new 500w battery. Selling off the new parts it's touch and go what's easier or cheaper. The...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Release date in a few weeks. My dealer ordered a few in March and this one was first to arrive. Mine is due in a couple of weeks. Specialized can't supply so a lot of pre-orders being cancelled or delayed

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Comp carbon in the flesh, mine arrives in two weeks. Best looking of the 22 models in my opinion.
