I ride with the Fox Pro D30 Bodyarmour, prerry much comfortable, provides good protection, not too heavy, body fabric allowas ventilation, used mostly for technical terrain
Original rear hub ratchet & bearings in my Expert 2022 shredded to chips after riding about 7,000 km of moderate xc trails.
I would definitely look into upgrading to a better brand, more durable and long lasting.
The color is much less important than the bike type. I ride the Expert Carbon 2022 and love every minute, feels more in control than the Levo Comp I rode previously. I also swapped the rear shock to EXT Astoria Lok V3, Shimano breaks m820 Saint, and installed SmasPot Coil Spring Conversion kit...
Fixed buttery is not a complete accurate description for the Turbo Levo buttery accommodating compartment design. It is is less flexible than the Trek, Merida or KTM design, but still you can remove / swap the buttery in less tan one minute. I do it on epic journeys when two butteries required...
I had my Fox X2 Performance busted after 4,000 km ride with my Expert 2022.
I had it fixed within the warranty and still swapped it with EXT Storia LOK V3, never looked back ever since.

I ride a 2021 Turbo Levo Comp for 11 months now, done 10.5K km, no motor issues. I would not recommend an earlier model since the motor was upgraded in late 2020 and earlier motors are suffering from major design issues leading to fatal problems.
I definitely recommend the Uebler i21, tow bar carrier for 2x e-bikes (60 kg load), I use it for 6 months now, easy to mount / dismount, quick bike loading / unloading, folds into a 20x29x60 cm rectangle, weighs 13 kg.
regarding the 2020 Turbo Levo, I would advise to avoid it, the 2020 models may have the older motor version that suffered design issues.
I rode the 2020 Turbo Levo Comp for a year, done 8,000 km, it had several system control problems, motor was replaced once, main wiring harness was replaced...
The bike definitely looks great, and the TCU display has taken a serious step forward, but the biggest cloud hoovering above the 2022 model is its reliability. I would definitely consider buying it, but only after I know for sure that all motor problems are solved.
Have been riding 2,200 km on my turbo levo 2021 ( have them for 6x weeks now)
Only had one control problem that turned out to be loose magnet on the rear brake rotor.
Other than than, it rides absolutely great.
