My 0.2 cents. Everyone's mileage differs (Rider skills, Setup, trails ridden, etc.). 19 Levo comp stock fork = crap + flex = unsafe The real shock and (combined) setup is critical to get suspension kinematics working right and this means feeling / function / comfort of the fork. The biggest...
2019 Levo Comp with the following upgrades in order of making the biggest difference for my riding style focused on comfort and control for the technical and fast trails here in BC: Ohlins (climbing, comfort, even made the fork feel a lot better), Fox 36 Factory e-bike (150mm/51 offset - from an...
Follow up response from the Ohlins dealer regarding the TTX:
The concern is for coil shock with an 8mm shaft like the older generation of FOX DHX2 and Cane Creek DBcoil.
Ohlins has 9.5mm steel shaft diameter, it is a shock coming stock on multiple Specialized models so you are good to go. Just...
I have deleted my anecdotal post since I do not have any specific info to add. To clarify, it's the Öhlins dealer that has set up the shock and will "back it up" . I do not have any factory info to validate either the functionality or reliability of the shock. It would be useful, and for my...
Converted to Moto. Fox 36 44mm offset, high position, 2.8 27.5 back/ 2.35 29er front... can't wait to check it out this weekend! Maybe too narrow on front but then I'm preparing for all the wet weather & mud to hit Vancouver Island this winter. (I can wait...)
With the 2019 Shock Float DPX2 Performance Evol 210 x 52.5 from a Specialized Stumpjumper Pro EVO 27.5, I found the shock bottoming out (190 lb rider, 240 lb air & set on trail mode; open was too progressive) as it has a medium spacer installed as part of the factory tune. A large spacer was...
Yes, agreed. E-bike specific and more aggressive enduro-type performance suspension needs to evolve for a 45lb+ bike, rather than under gunned and marginally preforming products. This product development will potentially benefit all types of riders and both e- and non-e bikes.
On my Levo Comp, I also found the Revelation harsh and lacking performance. Although I did not check or resolve these known issues or play a lot with set-up. The lack of stiffness and adjustability would always prevent the best feeling, performance fork so I decided to move forward with a 2019...
