I had a failed motor replaced 7/28/20 on a 2019 Levo Expert, It shows firmware 7.3.6 now. The power feels slightly softer to me, and the motor seems louder than my outgoing 2K mi. motor. But, I should give it time to break-in perhaps. I'm sure I'll acclimate to the reduced power if any, but I...

Now that we have SRAM and Shimano rotor clips, I would think the next logical one would be Hope. I'm currently using the universal clip as I long for something more sanitary and deflect ABS reluctlor questions...Any interest in this?

A 170mm Reverb AXS will bury, but it also depends on your inseam/preference.

I’m sure it’s the motor mount bolts. I’ve had the best luck running the torque value lighter than the manual specifies on a ‘19 Levo Expert. Very frustrating.

I demoed a Norco Range VLT today and I wasn’t impressed. The bike is good, kinematics and chassis dynamics. But, that E8000 is not very good. Too bad, the chassis was decent.

I am of the same mind. Even on firmware updates where a change log is provided, I have experienced undocumented changes and the inability to revert the firmware. So, I’m going to stay where I’m at until I hear something conclusive.

That’s definitely the one for the 2019 model. I would call their “dealer line”, they’re pretty competent, they’ll make sure you have the right stuff for the ‘18. It may be the same.

Yes, just swap the debonair cartridge for 160mm, I think they’re like 30 bucks.Then, the charger 2.1 damper is awesome if you want to spend another $375.

I noticed what I would call a small increase in suspension plushness. I’m going to run them from now on. They’re not life changing, but I like them. Fiddley as hell to install though.

I’m fairly certain it was a Charger 2, as it is a 2019 Pike model. Also, it has the red seal head, which I’ve been told designates it as a Charger 2.

I just retrofitted my 2019 turbo levo expert Pike that I had previously converted to 160mm travel, with the new Charger 2.1 damper. Honestly this mod has transformed the bike. On my short (5mi) test loop, previously with 90 psi in the fork, all damper circuits wide open, MRP ramp control at...

I use pod K8’s, they have removable knee cups, I really like them. Fully serviceable too.

I feel the same thing, but I can't say it was ever any different. There is a fix for this problem, see below. I created a purely mechanical Turbo Levo speed limit increase - EMTB Forums

I installed this mod on my 2019 Turbo Levo Expert today. The fit was nothing short of perfection. I ordered the magnets from Amazon.
