Looks like the LED bar we saw on the top tube a few days ago.

And confirms that the battery will slide inside the frame

 

[Kiwi in Wales]

Found the following specifications on some random Kiwi site.

Ohlins Piggy back coil shock 160mm travel
Lyrik dual position 150mm to 180mm forks
SRAM Roam 60 30mm internal width rims
Magic Mary 2.6 DH Ultrasoft tyres
170mm OneUp dropper
800mm carbon bar
Shimano Saint brakes with XTR levers
REVGRIP Soft grips
137mm length Kris Holme cranks

Picture below, if these are the actual specs then this is going to be one hot machine ?

I also noticed the ridges on the chainstay like the stumpjumper.

 

[neils]

Any links?

Can't say anymore than that I'm afraid.... but my source for sure is 100% accurate!

 

[Doomanic]

Then why bother, really?

 

[Slowroller]

Bosch's is new motor is supposed to be pretty special but you won't see it for a year, it'll be on the 2020 bikes.

2020??? Geez, what a tease! I was expecting to see them on 2019s. Or do you mean just on Specialized?

 

[neils]

Then why bother, really?

I won't bother with any input then!..... Like most companies they're keeping it under wraps! I don't have pics or links so what do you want me to do exactly?

 

[Doomanic]

I won't bother with any input then!

Input is fine, if you can back it up. Otherwise it's just speculation and it's very frustrating.

The new motor is ready to go but Bosch have to give the bike companies time to sell off their stock of current frames and 2019 was too soon for most companies. So you'll see it on the 2020 bikes. Sorry I don't know anymore except for it's a fair bit smaller.

 

[Halcon]

You keep saying Bosch, don’t you mean Brose?

It's not speculation.... it's 100% ..... My good friend IS that department within Bosch

 

[neils]

No I don't mean Brose.... sorry if I'm input this into the wrong post, it's just we're talking about hidden new developments by SBC so I thought some may of been interested to know about another hidden development by another company producing something new and exciting

Why have these pictures not been removed but mine did?? Are these fake and mine are real? ?

Rob must be on a ride and hasn't had to chance to take them down. I wouldn't expect these to be on here much longer.

I think its the other way around, the above photo is not the new bike but someone's custom bike.
I seriously doubt there won't be Specialized tyres, rims, dropper and longer cranks.

It would also appear the motor is so powerful you have to wear lycra

This is an old custumized LEVO, what should we do with that?

I guess Rob has travelled to Croatia after i told him where the event is located.

Seems perfectly adequate in a "rumors" thread.

I guess this is about the s-works version. Someone in an italian forum said, that the price will be about 12.000 euros for the s-works version and about 8000 for the expert version.

So, the 700Wh battery might be just in the expert and s-works model, with just another type of battery cells? So I guess, the 500Wh (or 630Wh?) battery will be in the comp models and hopefully compatible with the 700Wh battery.

Otherwise it's just speculation

Seems perfectly adequate in a "rumors" thread.

Unfortunately, there have been far too many baseless claims in this thread for me to get excited by a claim than cannot be backed up in any way. Besides, this is the Levo thread. Perhaps a Bosch thread should be started once there is some evidence.
