All I want is no headset cable routing, under 50lbs, 90-100nm power, and a 800-1000wh battery.

And last but not least... decent prices!

I just want a fat ebike for LONG back country rides that is reliable.
 
One of the most important questions is price, therfore I'm wondering if Trump tariff fees war he has announced will have an impact on the price around in the world.

Pls no discussion about politic and the President.

Una de las preguntas más importantes es el precio, por lo tanto, me pregunto si la guerra arancelaria que ha anunciado Trump tendrá un impacto en los precios en todo el mundo.

Por favor, no discutamos sobre política ni sobre el presidente.
I bet €500 more than the current ones

With Ibis dropping the Oso 1.1 pricing down to $5999 (almost 50% less than V1) Specialized and others will hopefully take note. The market has cooled off from Covid crazy and if they want to continue selling in quantities something has to give.

I've had my Gen 3 for three years and am considering an upgrade this year or next but not looking at $10K bike purchases. If needed a new motor or upgrades are cheaper than a new bike.
 
I think there’s zero chance Specialized lower prices. I think we’re more likely to see the comp build hit the 10k mark tbh.

Rumour has it that even the Specialized sales guys say it will be expensive...
And if they state it, we can fasten the seatbelts...
 
I'm going to guess at £13.5K to £14K for the S-Works on release.
 
14k is a big pill to swallow tho, and if the s work model has a price bump, then that leaves room for all other models to have one as well. The current price of a Comp Alloy is 6k, with a price bump it goes to 7-8k? Crazy amount compared to other brands. But let's see, at this point, I just want to see the bikes after such a long wait.
 
But when will the extremely generous prices on the G3 end - as soon as the G4 arrives or when the stock is empty?
 
It is difficult to understand Specialized pricing. Take the current Levo Comp Carbon, now listed on the Specialized website at $8999. USD. This is the same 2022 model which I purchased in fall of 2023 on sale for $ 5100. USD. I assumed that was a close out at that time.
Specialized has now tagged the same bike as a 2025 model, so I guess the Gen 4 model will be a 2026 model branding? I agree with the others that the pricing for the new bike will exceed that of a top line Moto. Crazy reality!

Specialed has the most expensive EMTBs on the market, not Santa Cruz, Pivot, Yeti, Ibis, Crestline, etc…. When you compare them apples to apples Specialed always costs more and generally has worse house brand parts for the cock pit.

Agreed, the S-branded parts and build specs are nothing special. It is their worldwide network of dealers, warrantee and innovation, R & D that sets them apart from the rest, IMO. This is particularly true with the Levo line. Power delivery, tunable apps are now prevalent in the industry but Specialized pioneered this and still leads the way. I believe that the new Levo Gen 4 will be a refinement of these technologies, while not earth shattering, worthwhile.
I'm just not looking forward to draining my bank account to get one, but such is the price of the bleeding edge. This has always been true of the cycling industry. I am of an age to have enjoyed over 40 years of MTB and wish to have the best technology going forward. As Warren Miller famously said, if you don't do it this year, you will be one year older when you do! For me the time is now! Bring on the spring roll out of the Gen 4 Levo, PLLEEASE! Im thinking it will be at Sea Otter?

Pretty sure you are spot on with it being on show at Sea Otter

Yesterday I went to my dealer and asked about available G3 carbon models in S4. Only COMP is still available for Germany. But I don't like the spec, I would simply have to convert too much. SWORKS is offered for 8.5k (but only in S2, S3... coming from 15K??) which makes it interesting for me as I expect 12k for the G4 PRO Modell... (talking in €€€€)...
As far as I know, PRO and SWORKS have only been available as 2024 models so far. I assume that the two will come as G4 2025 models and COMP, Expert and possibly alloy models will follow as 2026 models in fall.

Then go buy a Trek

Ew Trek. :sick:

I really want a slash plus tbf, but not for £11,000.

They can FRO with that pricing. So can Spesh actually.

Whyte would get my money if they didn't use the Clevis linkage, personal preference having spent the last 6 years on one. I dont think I'll have another Levo because of it.

Vala at 170/160 would be the next choice.

Why Vala? The new Bullit will be coming in April, it’s basically a longer travel Vala.
