This bike looks kinda perfect to me. I absolutely love the TQ, have the the TQ50 on one of my bikes, I just need 'some' support for medical reasons, and I have a hard time finding modern technology in an SL bike. But that price... is a bit wild.

I've had a Rise but bought it a size to small, got a Fuel EXe for about 2 years and just sold it to go back to the rise. The Fuel EXe has MUCH less range, even compared to the 2022 Rise I had. I'd say I get about 30-40% less range, and the difference in power was noticeable for me. I'm only a...

You mentioned the Trek EXE, how does this compare for range and power? Used to have a Rise, then switched to EXE but really missing the range/power of the rise. Now considering going back to the 2025 Rise. Curious to hear your comparisons for weight, range, power delivery compared to the EXE.

It was custom tuned for my Fuel EXE based on my weight; it came with two springs of my choice (based on weight with gear). Yes the rebound adjuster is accessible, just need to use the alan key. It also has a lock switch for climbing. Got the 205x60 and it is like I have much travel now vs the...

Upgraded the shock to an EXT E-Storia - this is a whole new different level of smoothing out the terrain! 10/10 recommend.

Have you considered asking a refund? I went through the same with a Giant bike and after 3 months I had to go that route - and did get the refund.

Has anyone tried both the Trek EXe and the new Levo SL? Wondering about the power and range difference.

This is awesome! Is there any gossip about this motor coming to the Kenevo SL too?!

No sales in Canada either!

Where did you buy it?

I'm 164, and I ride a Medium EXe comfortably, it's all about preference but seems to me you'd want a Large,

You just seem to get very defensive when folks disagree? English is not my first language so maybe I am interpreting it wrong. But to each their own; what works for me does not have to work for you and vice versa. I 100% believe that people have different wants and needs. And in some ways...

Exactly! I have a Kona Honzo ESD hardtail, a dh and a Trek EXe, they all do fine on Fromme, Squamish, Eagle. I am not a jumper but more of a tech rider - but for me the heavy weight ebikes are just a different category; I’ll take lightweight and less travel. I can easily ride 4 hours on the EXe...

I started with a Levo, went to an Orbea Rise, now in a Trek Fuel EXe. I thought the SL would not have enough range/power but my friend has one and I’d say its on par with the EXe. And yeah I’ve been able to test both on the same terrain! I found the weight difference from the Levo to the Rise...

Yes! Same happened to me. Bike shop replaced the charging port, its a fault design element! Its so easy to break.
