    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Specialized Gen3 derailleur hanger for SRAM bikes-just a note. Maybe this has been covered before but I could not find it discussed. I have a Gen3 Levo Pro which has been totally reliable. Last week I was riding and something got into the back wheel and bent the hanger, broke two spokes, and...

    Article Is the Shimano EP8 a bad motor?

    Can't comment on Bosch motors but had a 1st Gen Heckler with the E8000, and motor was way too abrupt with power, which made techy uphills really frustrating. The thing went through a battery very quickly on long climbs. I had a Bullit on order but cancelled after reading about battery life...

    Shimano vs brose reliability

    Had a Heckler with the E8000 for two years with no issues other than for awhile it would not start up but now it works fine. For the last summer been riding a Gen3 Turbo Levo Pro and zero issues with that bike. I have three friends who have Gen2 Turbo Levos and all have had some issues but they...

    Been offered a bullit at a good price so do I sell the Levo for a bullit

    I meant I expect a redesign of the Bullit for the new battery just like they redesigned the Heckler.

    Been offered a bullit at a good price so do I sell the Levo for a bullit

    I almost got a Bullit but was put off by the less than stellar battery range that was reported. At the time I was riding a Heckler and hauling an extra battery around. I ended up getting a Gen3 Levo and that bike is a beast. I slacked out the front end max and kept the back in the high setting...

    Been offered a bullit at a good price so do I sell the Levo for a bullit

    Your experience is exactly mine. I got a Gen3 Turbo Levo Pro and did a ride with over 4,000 feet of climbing and still had 30% battery left even riding mostly in trail mode. I am 86 kilos. I still have my old Heckler and the battery was almost zero with 1951 feet of climbing. Originally I was...

    Shimano E8000 display start up then goes blank on SC Heckler

    After two days of no luck with my problem, I loaded up the bike and took it to the shop. Of course when I get there it works great. Go figure! I thought perhaps some sort of radio frequency issue in the garage, but the bike worked fine when I brought it home......then started acting up again...

    Shimano E8000 display start up then goes blank on SC Heckler

    Thanks for the suggestion but that did not fix the problem. Planning to call the bike shop tomorrow.

    Shimano E8000 display start up then goes blank on SC Heckler

    Haven't ridden my Heckler in months. Shimano E8000 setup. Bike is almost two years old more or less. I put it on the charger overnight then pressed the on button this morning and all was good and was showing battery fully charged. I turned everything off and a few hours later got ready to ride...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    FYI here are the part numbers for the expander kit and rock guard kit for the Gen3: Rockguard kit: S214200033 Expander kit: S214200032 I recently tried to order a complete extra battery for the Gen3 and was given a part number by Specialized but I think that number is not functional yet. So I...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    I have a question and some observations. What is the part number for the Gen3 700wh battery? I went to my local bike shop to order a 2nd battery and they ordered an M2 700wh battery but I think this one is for the older gens and does not have the little door. I also just sent an email to...

    Is a 2022 Levo worth £2.5k more than a 2022 Whyte e160rs??

    I ride with friends on Gen2 Levos and for a year I rode a Santa Cruz Heckler. We do a lot of challenging rocky/rooty riding. I found the 27 front on the Heckler to be a problem so did a mullet which helped a lot. I would often get stuck due to wheel spin on steep uphills where the Levos would...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    I also have a Pro and no issues. Love the bike. Way better than my Heckler. I tried all the different front end angles and ended up neutral with the flip chip set on high in the back. With the back set low I was getting too many pedal strikes. Size S5. Very happy with suspension, brakes, and...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Mission Control connectivity issue resolved! First took bike to the dealer and they took it in the back to fix but came back and told me the Specialized dealer site was down so they could not fix it. We made a plan for me to bring it back on Tuesday if issue was not resolved. Said they had...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    First ride on my Gen3 Turbo Levo Pro after a year+ on a mullet SC Heckler. Have done zero adjustments to the bike so far. First downside is so far the Mission Control app will not connect to my bike. It gets as far as generating a code and my iPhone asks if I want to pair with that code and I...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Thanks for posting the video. Certainly made me feel I made the right decision to go for the new Levo. Main deciding factor for me was motor power and range. Seems like the EP8/630wh combo is a little underwhelming.
