Guys, I dig the Levo 3. Have had 4 demo days, but not enough time to get the suspension dialed in…I hoping to know from you:
Can the 150mm travel keep up with repeated gnarly midsize hits on fast descents enough to keep from beating up the rider?
I wasn’t able to get the X2 dialed-in to know...
Wanted to revisit the original question(s) I posed on this topic…as I now have additional experience on the Levo3.
Demoed an S5 yesterday for a good ride.
Indeed the issue was that Acceleration was set to 0%. When set to 100% it felt more like the Spesh/Brose ride effort amplification I was...
I feel the Levo would be a better bike with more rear travel.
Does anyone have any experience with shock mods on an S5, for instance, to achieve additional travel?
Great feedback. Thanks!
If you had to choose one, which would it be? Levo3? Kenevo20?
I need to choose myself…I enjoy sometime long rides, but am always seeking out technically challenging trail segments both up and down. I am concerned that the lower travel of the Levo3 will get overwhelmed...
So you think your Kenevo is the better bike for trail riding with technical features?
Debating even getting a Kenevo over a Levo3. I had one and it got stolen. It was a great bike.
Anyone else with full fat Kenevo versus Levo3 experience? I’m looking for a bike that can do big distance rides...
Mohawk3a,
I found the Levo3 to be awesome on technical climbing…big up moves on steep and chunky rock faces, etc.
It looks like your Levo3 climb times are close to your Levo2. Would you guess that the 275 v 29 rear and slightly slacker head angle are the main culprits, or do you think it’s...
So can anyone with lots of miles on the old motor/firmware and the new qualify the difference? Major, moderate, minor?
How about in terms of sustained climbs you have done on both old and new? What’s the time difference? Can you want if the difference for us?
For instance, I have a 10.5 mile...
Exact same for me.
Had a Bullit. Traded for the Rail. The EP8 with enduro tires on a full fat feels like an SL motor. The CX4 on the Rail is bionic.
I have done exact same ride comparisons. Big rides. Like 30+ miles in Moab rides in tech and gnar. The Bosch, apples to apples, is ~20% more...
I ride regularly at 8-10k’ elevation. It is not a fitness issue, if that was the subtext of your question. My VO2Max is elite for my age. I can get this bike up big climbs, but it just wasn’t as fast a reward an uphilling experience as post models. And I find one of the great joys of eMTBing is...
Has some one ridden back to back Levo/Kenevo (Brose 2.1?) compared to the Levo 3 Brose 2.2?
Slower? Less powerful. Looking for feedback from those of you with direct experience.
Background: I owned a Levo2 Expert and SWorks (upon motor failure, upgraded) and a ‘20 Kenevo. I have had all of the other motor systems (Shimano on Merida, Decoy, and Bullit; Bosch on a Rail 9.9, my current ride). I’ve ridden all of the motors extensively.
Two weeks ago I rented a Levo3 for 5...
Relive '50:XX Dead Horse, Tunnel Loop'
With this fast rolling, low drag config, main battery only:
30 miles
2500’ climbing
Power: 40/100 for the full ride except 4 miles at 60/100 which consumed 20% of the battery.
SL: I think 35 miles/3500’ Climbing is possible on just the main battery in...
I thought about deleting the mode button. But, I find that I change modes frequently enough to warrant keeping it. Also, when I tried to use just the top tube button, I found that I needed to stop to use it. I found that often the times I wanted a mode change, that I was active, moving around...
