    Big Specialized MSRP price drops !!

    I'm sorry but this doesn't reflect reality, my Levo expert 4 has a fantastic engine but it is noisy when going downhill as this video also demonstrates: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/avinox-m2s-rattle.46696/post-689574

    Amflow vs Levo 4 (Test)

    Today I tested the Amflow PX carbon and then, not content, I rode the same route again with my Levo expert G4. It was interesting to ride the exact same sections on two different e-bikes because this way you get a precise sense of the differences, both positive and negative, and you do so with a...

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    Precisely. But not only that, as I've already said, when I'm riding and stop pedaling and then start again, the motor gives a forward thrust that feels inappropriate and unpleasant; this also happens when I shift gears. My bike is in the workshop now, we'll see what the support team says. Of...

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    Of course, the same noise you hear when you start walking mode is also heard when you start pedaling after a brief pause in pedaling. On my ebike, this is associated with a brief forward push, which I find annoying.

    It's difficult to objectively assess what happened to you because there are too many variables at play, most of which are unknown. Honestly, at first glance, it seems like you're using too much assistance, making the bike difficult to control. I recommend adapting the assistance to the terrain...

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    You can verify the existence of this power limit by pedaling in auto mode on a steep climb at a high cadence (120 rpm): the motor cuts power at a certain point instead of increasing it just enough to overcome the obstacle. It happened to me just yesterday and is easily repeatable in the...

    Well, I really hope so, because they seriously risk falling behind the Chinese, who, on the other hand, don't seem to be making a mistake... and April 9th is approaching...

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    I've recently had the opportunity to thoroughly test the firmware update and have noticed a few flaws: 1) The motor makes noise when you engage the walk mode, but the same noise is heard every time you stop pedaling and start again, that is, when the electric motor kicks in after a pause. 2)...

    Dynamic micro tune 0/100: engine power and assistance ratio do not appear, is it that difficult?

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    I'm very happy with the new update. I now only use Dynamic Microtune, mostly in 0/100 mode, and increase the assist when I need it: phenomenal! To achieve perfection, I'd ask Specialized to fix two more things: the initial noise when you activate the walk mode (the noise is also present when you...

    Specialized Levo 4 Firmware Update: 850W, 111Nm, and a Free OTA Power Unlock

    I also noticed another behavior of the engine which, incidentally, was also detected during the test by the E-mountainbike magazine: "The only real drawback – even after the update – appears when approaching a climb at high cadence. In this scenario, the S-Works 3.1 has to dial back its support...
