    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Just rechecked and my measurement was off. It should be 37mm x 22mm for full coverage and 34mm x 22mm without. I was going to try a 1mm radius. You can see here how the top and bottom of the screen are curved.

    Levo Gen 2 Thinking about a Zeb Ultimate on my 21 Levo Comp...question...

    I had a Zeb Ultimate 170mm on my 2020 Levo and it's now a 160mm on my Stumpjumper Evo. I'm running the 38 Elite on my 2022 Levo and IMO it's a little better than the Zeb. Neither fork is perfect but it will depend on what you're looking for in a fork and your riding conditions. If you've got...

    Levo Gen 3 Hi all newbie hello :-) 2022 Turbo Levo Carbon Comp spec question, any advice appreciated

    Get an Expert if you can afford it and more importantly if you can find one. If not just get the Comp since you can actually buy it now. You can always upgrade the suspension later on. The brakes are the same and even though they list the Expert as having X01, you only get a GX cassette.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Somehow the factory protector has stayed on for 6 months and is still doing it's job. I just checked my TCU and it's 32mm x 22mm. I think going full height the screen the corners would hang over onto the plastic but you would have full coverage for the screen. I may order one from...

    Levo Gen 3 Are you gunna go elsewhere?

    I own a 2022 Expert and the geometry is what makes this bike my favorite of all time. If I was on a budget I would rather buy a 2022 Levo alloy than anything else on the market. As for reliability, I've owned a 2018 Levo Expert, 2019 Levo Expert, 2020 Levo SL Expert, 2020 Levo S-works and a...

    Levo Gen 3 170mm fork on 2022 Levo - Tech question for the Gravity Crowd

    What I've noticed on my Evo was that the stock link would blow through the travel and bottom out on jumps and drops (at the recommended sag). I was also getting constant pedal strikes even in the high setting. The Cascade link had more midstroke support and I don't always use full travel. It...

    Levo Gen 3 170mm fork on 2022 Levo - Tech question for the Gravity Crowd

    But that's exactly what their links do. I have one on my 2021 Stumpjumper Evo and it's fantastic, especially with an X2. Can't wait to get one for my Levo. I actually talked to them at Sea Otter this year and they told me the only reason they hadn't made one was because they couldn't get a Levo...

    I never pulled the factory protector off. I'm going to dig through my old smartphone protectors and make my own.

    Levo Gen 3 Does your gen 3 Turbo Levo rattle?

    When I first got my 2022 Expert it was rattle free, but it developed a rattle after I installed a full Ride Wrap. I unbolted the water bottle cage before I started and didn't reinstall the screws because I thought they were captured in the frame. Turns out they screw into a wire and cable...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Me too. My battery door is still on too and can't see any reason why it would fall off mid ride. I had no problems with the old design, but I ride in California, not the UK.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Are you sure? S-Works have always been shimmed down to 30.9 and you can easily tell from the website pics. Also, the Pro comes with a Fox Transfer that isn't available in 34.9.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Good luck! Do a search on Praxis carbon failures and you'll see why I ditched them. I've always run Sram carbon cranks on my analog bikes and never had a problem. I just don't trust Praxis carbon.

    Other Any news on 2022 Levo Alloy models being released.

    Yep, Assegai Maxx Grip on the front and DHR2 Maxx Terra for the rear. The new Specialized tires are better than the old 2019 stuff (that were hot garbage) but still can't compare to Maxxis. The Dissector is a fast tire that corners well, but the DHR2 blows it away in braking and climbing traction.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Are you checking for cracks after every ride? Little rubber boots can only do so much for carbon vs rocks. IMO, if you ride anywhere rocky and like technical climbs then risking carbon cranks to save 100 grams is crazy. I had an 2020 S-Works and after 2 good smacks I ordered a set of alloy...

    Other Any news on 2022 Levo Alloy models being released.

    I had a 2020 Enduro and wouldn't describe it as "nimble". It was definitely planted and could freight train any trail you pointed it down, but was a little slow in quick transitions. Great bike, but didn't fit my style or trails. I sold it and bought a Stumpjumper Evo and that bike is the...
