[Mike Smith]

[Matthewedwar]

Good work! What mode did you have it in?

Matt

 

[Mike Smith]

Mainly ECO, little bit of Trail and a bit of Turbo for some fun up the hills found on the flat I was outpedalling so looking at a front chainring change

 

[SteveVentoux]

Very nice Mike, is that the XL model ?

 

[Mike Smith]

Cheers, it's the Large one...

 

[SteveVentoux]

Just bought the same one, but in XL....very excited, but feeling a bit sick now the money has left my account! Hopefully be able to join the forum ride in the Surrey Hills now

Once you've done an excursion the smile will be on your face for days

i haven't been able to see an xl size in the flesh, does the frame look much different?

 

[idahoskiguy]

Yes, it is an expensive bike, however, you truly get what you pay for and the Levo/Kenevo are top shelf emtbs.

Sorry, can't comment as bought it blind should be collecting it in a week or so.
Rode a friend's 2017 large Levo last week which felt too small for me, but enjoyed what it can do. I'm 6ft 4in, so XL recommended.

@Others
Thanks guys, pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it, just a little anxious about the extra responsibility of owning an Ebike now. Been riding MTBs since 1988, it's getting more and more complicated!

Im right between sizes according to the guide, I'm 6ft 1. the large did feel a little short but haven't been able to see /try an xl. the frame of the xl looks a little different where the top tube /down tube meet on some pictures I've seen

Next week I can tell you... also 6ft1 and tried an L (felt small), bought an XL

 

[Finch9981]

just out of interest did you consider the kenevo?

 

[npatrix]

No... was fully satisfied with the Levo, and the dealer didn’t have a Kenevo for test, nor in stock

 

[SteveVentoux]

I did consider the Kenevo, but for most of the riding I do and my XC background, more bike than I could justify, think I'd get into trouble trying things I'm not capable of!

 

[Finch9981]

haha that's probably the sensible stance I should take, I'm on the fence between the two, sort of thinking it would be nice to have that extra travel, but like you say il likely to do something far beyond my skill level, i think distance is going to be what sways it and I'd guess the levo has better range being the lighter bike and should climb a little quicker

The new bouncing baby boy arrived yesterday, bit of a beast in XL, struggled to get it into the car after I collected it! Got to do some tinkering now, personalising controls/saddle position e.t.c, also going to take a few mm off the bars which are crazy wide. Happy days ahead

 

[Mike Smith]

Woohooo

happy new bike day! how big does the frame feel over the large? i had a sit on an xl kenevo yesterday and it felt good reach wise i was worried it would be huge

 

[SteveVentoux]

@Finch9981 It feels perfect to me, I didn't get to try a large to compare, I've always had XLs with previous bikes anyway, always felt the right size. My previous XL Kona 29er full bounce was also a beast of a bike but that's gone now and replaced by this.
