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

[singletrackminded]

it is interesting that the HT brake cable ports are ovalized, potentially preserving the option to run a cabled dropper and derailleur? This would also require the internal frame cable channels and rear swingarm cable port. Hope so, just as SRAM re-introduces the 2026 cable shifter and derailleur as an alternative to AXS. I prefer the simplicity of cables and the direct non servo driven derailleur.

I hate the kink with a passion..... Ruins the entire bike.

We don’t kink shame on this forum.

The new Levo.

Loos jus like the Stumpie

ya, hopefully the gaudy S-works logo is eliminated from the downtube, finally!

Spesh couldn’t even come up with something original?!? Had to borrow from YT for their marketing campaign

 

[Georgedukesa]

Also a confirmation of XX SRAM group set

120NM of Torque........Oh well, I guess all those peeps that say they don't need all that power will be looking else where?!

Amazed they made it lighter than the stumpjumper which don’t have a motor or battery

 

[singletrackminded]

Sure does look like the Levo SL with an oversized down tube ( just as reported months ago by a member who saw it in Spain).
The frame is definitely is evolutionary and not revolutionary. That is not a bad thing.
What do we gain with Gen 4 over Gen 3? Primarlly and hopefully a reliable motor, 48v system which runs cooler, quick charging and more power/torque and battery options to tailor weight to intended ride range by battery choice. Also better esthetics, ( no hump) and possibly better handling due to lower CG of motor and battery. Courious to see the geometry numbers, my guess is possibly slightly shorter chainstays?
All this comes at a hefty price, such is the nature of the bleeding edge, always been the case in the bike industry. R & D and production costs money . Thoughts?

Jesus Christ, that article is just AI generated garbage and has been posted multiple time already. Learn how to read and think critically FFS. Seriously if the posts in this thread are anything to go by then then human race is doomed. Social media has rotted peoples brains. /rant

ITS Not 120nm. 111 s-works only, 101nm rest

 

[smalltablehop]

So What we do Know , Small specialized on top Bar Not the oversized down tube , also only two cables running of the handle bars left and right brakes , that’s all I got

View attachment 156925

Three cables. Remote wire is on brake cable.

Yeah, that’s cool……same question applies though.

 

[smalltablehop]

Let people ride the Bike first. Specialized speaks of outstanding responsiveness. The performance is only supposed to be delivered when it's needed. Otherwise, the Levo SL will continue to be available.

1200nm. It’s a diesel now.

 

[Eduardoramundo]

Is this the charging port?

 

[ckkone]

Yes

Looks to be.

 

[AverageJoeMTB]

Does anyone know anything about the display? Is it still the mastermind tcu?

Its bigger.

I love looking at this thread every day...

For old-timers like me, it reminds me of :

interesting, Brose Ebike branch to be sold to Yamaha:

Brose trennt sich von E-Bike-Sparte

Der Automobilzulieferer wollte sich mit E-Bike-Antrieben ein weiteres Standbein aufbauen. Doch davon wird jetzt Abstand genommen. Was bedeutet das für die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter?

Anyone know what the s works smells like compared to the amflow?

Can't comment on the Amflow, but the S-Works smells of tooth decay and Lidocaine...

 

[Doomanic]

No massive S-Works decal on the down tube is a deal breaker for me. Without it the only way people will know I'm a dentist is when I'm by my iD Buzz, vaping.

Who knew, it looks from the teaser like an e-mtb…

It’s actually pretty telling that I can’t remember any e-bike launch getting this much interest beforehand, or how well Specialized have managed it, ie no leaks.

You just know there’s going to be pages of ‘this is why I’m not buying the new Levo’ type commentary when it does actually launch… can’t wait!

But at what cost? How many 100s of people have they killed to keep leaks suppressed?

 

[salko]

Just saw the full photo and spec list ... The first impression is ... Oh man, the downtube sure looks noticeably bigger than on Gen2/3 from a sideview, I hope photo doesn't do it justice or in real life won't be so noticable ... Still cannot see how the battery is mounted

There’s definitely leaks…a lot of them actually. You just won’t see them on this site.
