    Specialized or YT?

    I would wait with that vote for YT for just a while until warranty etc have been tested. In my country YT agent is very small with crap backups. Shimano back up here is almost non existent. They leave it up to shops to sort out problems( di2 etc) I guarantee you they will not set up shop just as...

    Specialized or YT?

    Sorry can’t comment for your country but where I am almost every concept store has at least 1 if not more on the floor and they don’t seem to be moving. Almost as if concept stores are “forced” to carry s works.

    Specialized or YT?

    I know we busy making comparisons at the moment but the YT is barely on the shop floor at the moment. What would you choose if a month from now Spez shops were offering 20% off 2019 levo’s????

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    I feel the di2 is a serious drawback on the YT. From experience with my normal Mtb the shimano electric on Mtb has been a disaster ( road no problems) The battery just doesn’t like water very much.If you are in a wet climate don’t expect it to last more than a month or 2 and warranty from...

    Specialized or YT?

    Before I had the Specialized I had a Giant trance E1 which was almost just as good as the s works at half the price. If I was looking at lower spec Specialized I would definitely put the trance e1 in the mix

    Specialized or YT?

    With purchasing a Ebike one of the biggest part of the decision has to be backup. It doesn’t matter how good a bike is if you have problems and it ends up sitting in your garage foe months waiting for a dealer to get parts. Based on the type riding you doing I would say Levo. If you only looking...

    2019 Turbo Levo Comp FSR (Alloy) or 2018 S-Works Turbo Levo FSR?

    If you buy the 2019comp will you be happy with it as it is stock or will you spend 1000$ upgrading it to what you want

    2019 Turbo Levo Comp FSR (Alloy) or 2018 S-Works Turbo Levo FSR?

    Really tough decision. To me it would come down to do you prefer 29er or 659b. Reports from guys using BLEvo are that 2018 puts out same amount of power that the 2019 motor. From my experience with the 2019 700wh battery you don’t get 40% more ride time than the 500 one. I woul d guess I’m only...

    So sometimes it pays to have a sales person that’s a bit asleep. I see some of the newer bikes (yt) running 29er front 650b rear. What wheel circumference do you put in your app? Rear wheel?

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    Thanks for the info.Surprised it’s running old firmware on a week old bike. So I should just keep everything as it is? Can I theoretically change max speed of bike to anything?

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    So here goes.Recent Levo purchase.Ive read entire thread to get up to speed. As far as I can see I’ve got the latest firmware (battery,motor etc) I’ve connected to BLEvo,but I could change wheel circumference and speed of the bike. When I open MC this confirms it with a wheel circumference of...
