Finally done it. Epower :) Sussex UK

[JabberingJimbo]

After hiding in the shadows for a while, I finally done it and got Epower
2019 Turbo Levo Comp in Taupe.
Demo'ed a few brands and narrowed it down to a Brose or Shimano motor based on those rides.
Wanted about 150mm travel as mostly tech XC type rides, but looking to jump a bit more now
This forum was a great help and look forward to asking the questions and helping with reply's where I can....
Not sure on the green, but my last 3 bikes have all been black, on the look out for some sticker kits

Nice one.
Where abouts do you ride I'm in Worthing.

Welcome - I love what you have done with that colour and the tan walls - just needs a black decal kit! One of the nicest Levo's I have seen, and nice to see one in a different colour way

I just picked up the exact same bike in that colour yesterday, I love the colour it's very cool and retro looking and for me the acid kiwi green decals totally make the bike I love how it looks

 

[Mattwilko92]

I really like that colour.

Congratulations! That's the bike and color I'm probably going to get as well. Did u change the tires right after purchase? Any other upgrades you think are necessary?

 

[srileo]

And do you feel you got good value for the money with that bike spec compared to a direct consumer bike?

Thanks for the replies and compliments.
I Ride Tilgate Forrest in Crawley as it's on my doorstep , then head out to Surrey hills area which is my old riding area from the late 80's so know it well.
Changed tires to get 'the look' and hopefully the brakes will bed in as there not as sharp as my XT's yet , everything else seems to work fine and just needs adjusting until I get bored and buy new shiny stuff.
I was considering the YT Decoy as well, but 1-2 month wait + the possible issues with any problems and no where to demo 1st.

I will be out on mine for the first time tomorrow and at present my brakes need bedding in as they don't feel great but Linda has the same bike and her brakes feel really sharp so they will be fine after a couple of good rides

The brakes at first don’t feel as sharp as XT’s but the more you use them, the more you appreciate the modulation. Now when i ride my clockwork bike with XT’s i wish they had more control.
