2019 Levo Expert with 170mm?

[Tuckya'in]

Just got done with first ride on the new Levo. Range is a mind blower compared with 17 Levo and19 Kenevo. I found the fork and probably shock a bit too harsh for me. My favorite riding zone has a lot of rough DH type stuff. I have a new Fox 36 ESpec in the shop but it is 170mm. Would raise the front end 1/2 inch which I could make up with sag I suppose. Has anyone messed with the front end yet? Would a 170 front/150 rear be stupid? Opinions welcome.

Kenevo?

Kenevo?

I have a Kenevo still, just want to have the range and plush at same time.

You have a Kenevo? Why not use that for the DH rides??

 

[Tuckya'in]

I will for sure. But.....I am still interested in plushing out the Levo. I'm not a Pike fan and I have old sore hands.

In my new 2019 Levo booklet it says that it shouldn't have any more than 160mm travel on the bike!

I’m running a fox 36 160mm 44 offset and a 210 x 55 rear fox float shox with all of the volume spacers removed out of both of them , I would like to try a 170 mm 36 with at least 30% sag as my 160 is not getting full travel at 30%

My bottom bracket is definitely not too high with the 160 I put 175mm cranks on trying to get longer range out of the bike these Cranks do get Pedal strikes

Let me know how the 170 goes

A forum member has built himself a Turbo KeLevo (Levo with Kenevo's wheel travel 180mm on both ends)

@BigFoot, why did you change from the 51 offset to the 44 offset when switching to the 160?

Thanks!
