Rotor noise? Is anyone else expiriencing rotor vibration with slight rubing in higher speeds on asphalt when no brake force is applied? I tried all sram rotors and all of them start resonating and slight rubbing and buzzing on higher speeds(over 23kmh asphalt road). Now i use Magura mdr-p and no rubbing or resonating.

I actually have that up front. Didn’t think much of it. Just was too lazy to reset the alignment on the brake. I’ll give it a shot and let you know if it fixes it.
Aligment doesnt help. My rotor was 98% straight zero rubbing when freewheeling on spot but over 23kmh it becomes like orchestra.
Anyone fitted a slammed 240mm dropper post? Looking at going 210mm or 240mm slammed if I can get away with it. Currently have a lot of post out.
Maybe include your frame size, smaller frame have less room for dropper posts.

I've got a 240mm OneUp on a S4 Frame, its not quite possible to slam it completely, so it stays about 3-4 cm (one and a half inch) post out.
I've traveled it to 230mm to fit it perfectly for me. Best compromise to achieve the most possible travel und lowest post out for me. I've got rather long legs

I’ve got the one up v3 on another bike but never changed travel. Is it easy to do?
The STFU chain guides might be the best $40 I spent on my Levo.I've got a 240mm OneUp on a S4 Frame, its not quite possible to slam it completely, so it stays about 3-4 cm (one and a half inch) post out.

I’ll have to pay a little closer attention but I’ve never noticed chain rattle/slap on the Levo.
Chain slap wasn’t anything I perceived as an issue, but my friend turned me onto the STFU guides and figured they’re inexpensive enough to give them a try. I was surprised by how much they quiet down the bike. Now I feel they’re not coming off; and if somehow they broke I’d buy a new set to replace them. I’m a fan.

Yeah its not really complicated, no need to deinstall it, just unscrew the top cap, extend the post und add the travel shim pins, just be careful not to lose one of these tiny pieces.

Well, I just placed an order so I will follow up and let you know what I think

Just placed an order as well. Can't say I've noticed this specifically as a problem, but a quieter bike can't be bad.
Does the chain rub? I had one on a Gen3 and it rubbed all the time so I took it off. I just couldn't get it mounted correctly.

I did a search but didn’t find anything conclusive. Has there been any new information on the 600wh battery availability?
It’s a precise fit but when correctly installed the chain never rubs.

Is that Amflow stat done on the same basis as EV sales? Sadly unlike EVs there is no record of registrations so you can see the difference between "sales" and vehicles actually registered as being used on the road! Despite the hype I have never seen one here!!

The Gen 4 isn’t a perfect bike but let’s have the haters just make their way out of here and head on over to the Amflow area. Discussing the bike is one thing, bashing it relentlessly is another.
Levo 4 isn't perfect, neither is all the other options but it's overall best and leaves Amflow broken in the dust.
It’s interesting how context changes everything — Pinkbike’s back-to-back field test put the Levo 4 at the bottom as the worst bike on test, while flowmountainbike reviews are much more positive, likely because they don’t directly rank bikes against each other.Specialized Levo 4 Long Term Test | Living With the Levo

It also just depends on who is testing. Any major brand is gonna release a good bike, but there is no objectively best bike. It's all preference. You can also probably set up most bikes to suit your riding style. One thing you can't get from any bike is a specific motor system, battery size, or features like removable battery.

I purchased my Levo 4 and it took very minor mods/adjustments to get it how I love it. I have a buddy who says he had to change bars, suspension, seat, etc. Exact same bike to start with but very different preferences resulted in different bikes to finish.
The only thing you can’t change is motor/battery/frame.

That’s what I found coming from 5 other S. Works levo the balance is all wrong. I just didn’t feel connected or confident on the bike. Other owners have said same. It felt like a heavy bike. That rear shock is great though very comfortable. I know what you mean about telling the Truth on reviews.
