Been following this thread and the great info. Changes so far and all at once: OneUp thick grips, Brake levers nearly parallel to ground, backed off on Fox 38 LSC four clicks with 10 less pounds air pressure and front tire pressure down to 22 (was 25). Rode the same route as I did yesterday...

Partly into the ride railing corners was squirrely. Really didn't want to brush up against a cactus or cholla. Thought maybe something was loose but then noticed the lugs on the rear tire (Butcher) were pulling off. New tire time.

My preliminary impression is positive. Did a 21-mile desert cross country type single track with about 1,100 feet of climbing in Tucson area. A lot of fast and flowy single track. Fairly tame ride but that's what the gang had planned. The update changes the order of the assist modes. Old...

Levo 4 Expert. Received the early access email and just completed the firmware update. Have 20+ mile ride planned for tomorrow in chunky desert terrain. Will be a good test of this update.

Just noticed something interesting on the Specialized US webpage. The Turbo Levo Gen 3 Comp Carbon is on sale for $7,499 USD while the Turbo Levo Gen 4 Comp Carbon list price is $7,999. That's only a $500 difference.

Waiting to see what the Alloy version with 600w battery is like. That may be the sweet spot for me.

203 Shimano icetech rotors front and rear. Shimano SLX 4 piston brakes front and rear. Much better on the big descents now. The stock brakes were okay for the cross country type riding.

Great build on that M10. Went with H15 due to the 36 fork and larger battery. Changed the saddle, went to 4 piston SLXs, 203 rotors front and rear. Others in my ride group have M10s and they have the range extenders for the rides we do.

Yup. Same happened to me. The XT failed spectacularly. Ripped the cage off, bent some links and wrapped around the seat stay. 2 mile walk to a road, made it a single speed for the 5 mile road ride to the car. Have an SLX coming and hope it's better.

Jenson USA weighed it at 44.5 pounds before delivered to me. Then I added peddles, went tubeless, replaced the Rekon with an Assagai and replaced that awful Fizik saddle with a WTB Silverado. Range has been great. Recent ride was 3,400 feet of climbing (two separate climbs) at 17.5 miles and...

I have an H15 and for me the stock brakes are not adequate for long descents. I've put 203 rotors front and rear which helped. Next upgrade is to 4 piston brakes. Probably 4 piston Shimano SLXs (minimum) which have been good on my Stumpjumper. Main reason for this bike is for those longer...

For my H15, Jenson listed 6120 brakes (4 piston Deore) and came with 6100 (2 piston). Noticed they changed the brake specs right after I asked about that. The 6100s and the 180 rotors are inadequate for the extended descents I ride. Already put a 203 rotor on front and that helped. There was...

Been riding my H15 for about a month now. Do not like the Rekon. I'll be moving the Dissector to the rear and putting an Assegai on the front.

Have 2 weeks of ride time on my H15. Handles great and impressed overall. Boost mode is usually too much. Eco and Trail most of the time. Peddles like a heavy enduro bike with "E" off. Brakes will be upgraded to 4 pistons and larger rotors because the shortcomings of the stock brake set up...

Congrats. My H15 arrived last night from Jenson. Same color and looks much better in person. I unboxed it last night and will start the set up today. Any thoughts on downtube protection?
