Levo Gen 4 Levo Gen 4 Rumours and some facts...

[Ribinrobin]

It’s a brose motor.

How big are the batteries

 

[Dax]

But, but, but, manufacturer Brose is primarily a motor manufacturer specialising in motors typically with belt drives. Wot, no belt drive? Does not compute.

As I said pages ago, it’s a Mahle motor

 

[Doomanic]

And as I said, also pages ago, it's a Bafang.

Exactly the right size to fit in the hole in the side of the the frame...

How do you know ?

Thoughts

 

[Mikerb]

nah....its a rotary ICE plus 2 gallon fuel tank.....much lighter

 

[Doomanic]

Rotary? Probably have less range and worse reliability than a Levo...

 

[Double l]

Obviously not a gen 4 but new crestline

 

[roccobarocco]

New centre display for Bosch bikes

I’d say the old crestline, the blanking plate on seen on the present Bosch bike are squared off on this you can see the screw at the top like on the original Crestline model.

yes but Specialized have good warranty.................and you can strap a petrol can under the top tube for extra range

 

[Geas]

Once again: the new brose drive 3 peak does not have a belt anymore....

So given that in that picture the Screen is sitting proud of the frame ( not flush ) whats the chances bosch will offer a retro fit LCD screen for older bosch units. Adjust where the screw is and it would cover the hole. Would love to see an upgrade LCD created for my motor.

Biggest reason I bought a Gen5 Bosch, they rarely make anything backwards compatible.

 

[DylanJM]

Why are we discussing Bosch here?

To get things back on track. Someone mentioned last week that today might be the day the press embargo is lifted so perhaps we’ll start seeing some content later on.

So many dates being thrown around…. my source says April 18.

 

[Ribinrobin]

I got april too. I hope it was a joke when i was told the s works one is £15k

This is what my local shop said yesterday also. Apparently they still have a lot old stock that is still selling well, and are keen to move this first.

 

[DylanJM]

April would likely be the date they are actually available. Media stuff would come out before that. I dread to think what this thread would be like if we still had to wait another 3 months for any concrete info about the bike

 

[Ribinrobin]

I think no matter what specialized do some will be happy some wont. I don't think theirs loads of new things they can bring to the table, but I am confident they'lll bring a great bike out...that is extremely over priced.

I think the genie shock might put off a few people so surprised spesh went that route but we'll see.

Is the genie thing bad? Seems like a useful concept?

 

[whitymon]

To me this was an attempt from Fox/Spec to match something close to the vivid air but just fall flat. It just cannot rival.

Do you have to rub it and make a wish ???

Or was that masturbating - I'm getting older, too many things blur together ..

for myself? no. For some people yes.

Funny you should say that, I have just got the vivid coil and when reading about it the touchdown technology and hydraulic bottom out I thought that sounds a lot like the Genie

How's wishing it was bigger working out for you?
