    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    Wow. Thanks. That web page is hard to understand at first glance (for me). Seems a specific model will work: RS-SDLC-ULT-B1 . "B1" being important which is the 2023 model. Press Release | RockShox Product Announcement MY23 - Spoke Magazine

    Levo Gen 3 How bad are Turbo Levo Comp stock wheels

    Spoke broke at the nipple today. Front wheel. Shame on Specialized and DT Swiss :-( The rear wheel is great! The replacement for the Specialized / DT Swiss wheel, that is to say. FWIW, I opted for the DT Swiss hybrid 350 hub for the steel ratchet and otherwise sturdier construction.

    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    Thanks. Makes sense. As noted, absent clarity from Specialized, if the frame were to fail, the LBS here says one is SOL (Sh*t Outta Luck). I figure the risk is worth it at this point.

    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    It is great knowing that we have choices for coil shocks. The shock makers are standing behind some number of products. Does Specialized honor their warranty for a coil shock on a Turbo Levo? Perhaps I missed a post , or two, or many, but I have not found any information online where the frame...

    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    After scanning the forum, I was unable to find much on Specialized and the warranty for a Turbo Levo for a frame. My LBS (San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA) says, "No warranty with a coil!" In my case, the thought is to replace the Fox Float on Gen 3 with a coil. Figured to post here...

    Levo Gen 2 Which freehub driver do I need for SRAM Eagle NX cassette?

    OK HG it is! Shame on me. https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/components/groupsets/groupset-mountain/sram-nx-eagle-review/ "The NX cassette uses Shimano’s HyperGlide (HG) freehub body instead of SRAM’s XD Driver found on the rest of the brand’s 12-speed cassettes. This means the cassette’s range...

    Levo Gen 2 Which freehub driver do I need for SRAM Eagle NX cassette?

    No change required. If you have an XD driver now, you need a couple tools to swap the current cassette to a new one. What make cassette is on the wheel now? How does a SRAM Eagle NX cassette possibly fit on to a Shimano HG driver? It doesn't! Driver pics here...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    The wheels are poorly suited for a Clydesdale (I am one)! This applies to the full range of Turbo Levos. Notes here per the Comp: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/how-bad-are-turbo-levo-comp-stock-wheels.32405/ My rear wheel is being warrantied. Three months and two weeks old. Spun the ring...

    Levo Gen 3 How bad are Turbo Levo Comp stock wheels

    Took a look at the rear wheel. The problem turned out to be the ring gear which is a threaded install into the hub. The ring gear is not supposed to spin! Alas, the hub is almost certainly a total loss. The ring gear may be removed using a special tool. For the curious, this video shows the...

    Levo Gen 3 How bad are Turbo Levo Comp stock wheels

    Just past three months on a Gen 3 Comp. Freehub appears to have blown up. Assuming DT Swiss 370 type internals. Assuming three-pawl design. 230/240 lbs kitted up (including Camelbak or similar). Hoping DT Swiss, via Specialized and the local shop, will warranty the freehub body. Regardless, a...

    Levo Gen 3 Custom Rx Trail Tuned motor vs Full Power motor - 2022 Levo

    There motor descriptions are perhaps misleading. Guessing the same motor and tune for all Turbo Levos. Across the globe, the descriptions are inconsistent.

    Levo Gen 3 SRAM XX1 or XO1 Chain?

    There are some articles online suggesting the X01 lasts more than twice as long as the GX. And, as an added bonus, the durability of the X01 means one does not have to check the chain for wear (aka stretch) as often per the consequences. Cassettes are not inexpensive! One less chain swap over...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    If the hub make and model is known, and the rim make and model is known, there are spoke calculators online. The rear hub on the Turbo Levo Comp is (was) thought to be similar or the same as a DT Swiss 350? DT Swiss makes a heavy duty emtn hub. This is not that one. Probably a good idea to...

    Levo Gen 3 Suspension and Coil shocks for Gen 3 - Fox 38 vs Zeb

    Good observations per EXT and the e-Storia @Redders473 and @Ou812 . Thanks. I do want a coil shock. Always 100+kg and shaking my head while trying to dial in suspension. The stock FOX FLOAT X Performance on the Turbo Levo Comp showed its limitations today. New to eMTB bikes, but I jumped into...
