How can making a large hole in the side of the downtube possibly increase structural integrity? Removing material from a high-stress area like the downtube typically weakens a structure—not strengthens it. Even if Specialized reinforced the area with additional carbon or structural inserts...

Why a side battery hatch? I’m not a fan of that placement—I got rid of my Trek Rail because of it; it rattled like a bucket of bolts. Plus, the battery sits higher, which raises the center of mass. I think that’s part of why the Rail feels sluggish compared to the old Levo. On top of that, I...

Nah, the charge limit is on, and still 100% charge.

The issue is back. Hopefully Specialized will fix it soon, i don't like to do hardware reset every 10 charge.

Today had my first ride L1NL32 with HBO in my local bike park today. Highspeed rough trails with roots and rocks and flowy jump lines. I'm really impressed. I noticed a real difference between the stock Fox float X on high-speed chatters, and how confident I feel on landings. I'm 80kg, I...

Thanks, got it. I've ordered one with hbo. Will write my experience. Stock's fox shock is dying, clicking and loosing air. I dont have complains about it other then reliability.Will send it by warranty, but don't want to wait.

Hey guys, how do I know if there is HBO or not? Just checked the local dealer and there is no pyramid sign on the shaft. RS-SDLX-ULT-C1. 12T32099493 00.4118.358.004 Really confused, at the RockShox website there is no word about the sdlx-ult shocks without HBO, but all pictures about HBO show...

Absolutely. My favourite is the Syntace x12, have snaped that bolt twice on my Norco Range, and replaced it on trail without any damage to other stuff

Had a similar issue today on Turbo Levo - a branch blocked the derailleur. The result is a broken derailleur cage and bent UDH hunger. The hunger rotated for about 30 degrees and was stopped by a limiter on the frame. The frame is not damaged. That's how it is supposed to work!

No wonder, the medium is not changed so much as the large. Reach M: 445 to 452 +7mm L: 470 to 491 +21mm

I did that mistake. Rented old Rail in a bike park, tested it, found it good and bought a new 9.8xt. But the new Rail rides different. You don't consider the old generation? I think that is really bang for buck.

If the price the main factor, I would also consider Cube Stereo 160.

Thanks. Do all Brose motors (specialized and others) have the same motor spindle length? Just wonder if I see for example cranks e*spec specs 184mm q-factor for Brose motor, does it means that it will be the same 184mm for the Levo?

I have managed to bend a right crank on my Turbo Levo. Straighten it with a hummer. But looking to replace it as I'm afraid that the strength of the aluminium is reduced. Found out that I can't buy the original praxis crank. There is an option for Praxis aluminium crank with the standard...

Yep, in general the Rail rides great.
