@Dazzling1984 I would check the charging pins where the little plastic cover closes. My Levo was doing a similar thing, randomly turning off and then not turning on, then later it was fine. Turns out it was just a bent pin causing an intermittent short. Sorted and has been fine since.

Thanks Alex. For sure I will raise it, I just find it odd. Im guessing that they measure it with a 2.8 tire and that is about 10mm taller. I think this is actually lower than my Demo 8 : /

The manual says that low flip chip should put the BB height at 347 with 2.6" tires. The problem is that when I measure it, I get 338. I even raised the fork tube in the triple clamp to about 3/16" from the top to try and raise it up a bit. Im sure it will rail corners like this, but I am pretty...

@Mcharza haha yeah I guess they did. I hear that the SLs dont have as much power at lower cadence. I guess thats my only concern. I do tend to shift a lot and try to spin at higher rpm, so maybe no worries. @jerry It more the weight location than how much. The front of the bike is very heavy...

I keep wondering if Specialized will provide more battery options in the future. IS it something that other people want as well or am I just an idiot? :p Bigger and heavier isn't always what people are after. I am not doing 5 hours of epic climbs and I don't need 8lbs of battery throwing the...

Maybe that read wrong - the 38 is best feeling fork that I have ridden so far. I am just the type of rider that wants a lot of mid-stroke support. I like jumps and drops and I want the bike to take the big hits without compressing all the way down. If the front end drops 85mm on landing you will...

Most reviews say that the 38 blows through its travel pretty quickly. Adding more tokens and a few PSI should help. I finally ordered the Fox top cap socket so that I can try it out. Medium sized drops like 4 ft will use all of the travel. Not a feeling that I really enjoy :p Also thats why...

@Christian Oh that looks dope. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to dual crown this bike! Also you would be proud I only used eco mode today :p

haha don't we all! I have been riding specialized way before ebikes ? Yeah the Rise is too xc for my tastes and the siryon has a bafang motor which doesn't have the punch that they claim (according to Rob's YT vids). I thought maybe there was something else that I was missing. I personally...

@Christian haha you make it sound awesome! What bikes would you consider 3/4 power lightweight?

@Christian haha good! We agree on some things :rolleyes: I thought you had a Keveno? I just hate the amount of elitist fitness bs in MTB. The funny thing is that moto people are so much nicer and you would not expect that looking at the two industries. Everyone that rides moto just wants to get...

I love how everyone that says the motor doesn't have enough power immediately gets criticized by someone that says " don't need more power, just get fit." As someone who isn't and has a former knee injury. FU. Everyone has different skill levels, fitness levels, health issue, etc. Just stop...

Yeah thats a Demo

Props to Spesh for this bike! ? Its definitely an advance in tech. They included the geo changing and headset cups so you could run this mullet or full 27.5 no problem. The only fail IMO is the old motor but I think that was a dev or supply chain problem. A spesh shop owner told me a few months...

Awesome! Now I know for sure, I can just put a cascade link/coil on my 21 Levo and save myself like $5000-$10000 :p
