So, after an embarrassingly long time, I finally got out on my bike with the 7.1.1 update over Christmas. I can’t say I noticed any difference on the trails, and the outright power, but there is a big difference when you hit the limiter. Whereas previously it would aggressively cut in, it is now...

This is a very good point about cycles on the battery. Winter is a double whammy of Li-ion batteries not liking the cold, and engergy sapping squishy trails covered in mud. Summer range is noticably better. Also, I find the 35% assist, 35% power limit of the standard Eco (35/35) not as good as...

Thanks for the update, as always good to get it from the horse's mouth. It sounds like nothing to worry about (I think everyone these days is conditionded to worry about firmware updates, I am certainly very cautious with my devices). Once I've had a chance to get some miles on the bike I'll...

Yes, when the bike was serviced by the dealer I bought it from. I didn't think Specialized did OTA updates, is this a new thing? Yes. The version is always 7.1.1 after power cycling, on both versions of Mission Control I have installed on my phone.

@Specialized Rider Care I just had my 2018 Turbo Levo motor f/w updated from 5.0.4 to 7.1.1. The battery f/w remains unchanged at 10.23.1 What can I expect from this update? Are there any release notes for this update? TIA, Jon

UPDATE: I got my battery fw updated from 10.22.3 to the latest 10.23.1. They didn’t force the motor fw despite me requesting it as it was already on 5.0.4, but having seen 19A I don’t believe I have any issues there. My bike now feels a lot stronger on 20/100 and I can keep up with my friend...

Great, thanks. Hex, hah, obvious when you know! It went in today and they said they would force the motor too, though as I was seeing 19A battery current, it seems like is ok.

@Specialized Rider Care, can you shed some light, and also confirm what the latest battery firmware version is, as reported by v2 of MC? Thanks.

Thanks, I was pretty sure that was the case. Any idea why v2 of MC displays the fw in a totally different format? FWIW I don’t have the acceleration setting in my v1.x version of MC. I have read about it, but it must have been an even earlier version.

Really good information, thanks. What is the latest battery firmware (specifically for a 2018 Levo Turbo)? When I use the old version of Mission Control it reports mine as 10.22.3 V2.0.8 of Mission Control reports A16.3 My friend’s identical 2018 bike is 2.17.1 (new ver of MC). We both have...
