Levo Gen 4 - Alloy Launch Discussion Thread

[Jazzyb]

Reckon it's time to get discussing the Levo Gen 4 Alloy range launch next month ?

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

You’d be hoping it’s significantly cheaper.

 

[Neverbeentomoab]

Hopefully £5500 or lessfor comp alloy

Defo....could be a great entry level option despite the weight gain now we know the carbon specs

 

[etoni]

Wight?

 

[Jazzyb]

Reckon USD 7k is realistic guess

 

[RichMorr]

Given that’s the comp carbon is £6799 I could see £5799 but to save weight and profit it will have the 600 watt battery as standard.

That's a really good point... maybe the 600 watt bty as standard will offset the weight difference with carbon

Comp Alloy may have a slightly subdued frame colour way too but that's totally subjective ?

Hi,

I heard rumors that there will be a long travel Levo 4 option. Anyone heard the same?

Of course aftermarket, cascade will show up with something too

A Specialized Product Manager (?) alludes to the potential here. Makes sense when the advertise the capability for long travels forks.

 

[DylanJM]

On the original gen 4 thread long before the reveal the Mod put out an announcement at one point asking people not to post any leaks of the bike. The labeled the bike as gen 4/4B which suggested to me the existence of another model. Maybe that was carbon/alloy but maybe also regular and LT bikes.

 

[dirt-diggler]

I heard it would be pink.

 

[BAh30]

It would suck if they reduced the Nm and wattage limits on the cheaper models..

 

[DirkWisely]

I doubt they'd get any sales that way.

 

[Mike O]

I wouldn't be surprised if if at some point Specialized followed the car companies and allowed the purchase of the higher power. If so, it will only be available after the initial season and priced high enough so as not to upset full price SWorks buyers and ruin future SWorks initial sales.

 

[Jazzyb]

So any takers on these:

Turbo Levo 4 Alloy
Turbo Levo 4 Comp Alloy

Deep Lake (blue)
Dusty Pink (pink)
Gunmetal (grey)

Launch Mon 26 May ?

 

[DylanJM]

I'm pretty interested to see how this one turns out. I've been tempted to pick up a discounted alloy gen 3 lately but I think it might best best to wait and see what Specialized have to offer with the alloy gen 4. I held of buying a new bike for 6 months waiting on the gen 4 so what's another 6 weeks at this point?

Reckon that's good decision

Today only S-Works is available in the shops then the rest of the carbons will be at the end of May so unfortunately I don't think any alloys will be in the shops at the same time.

I'm seeing end of April on the Specialized site for the other carbons being available again, at least in my country.

I'll be pretty pissed if the push the alloys later into the year.

I've been reliably informed the Alloys will be released tues 27 May in Australia

As posted in the main Levo thread

 

[DylanJM]

I hope they do a better job at matching the battery cover and frame colours on the prod models.

 

[slwbkr]

Anyone have any idea what pricing might be?

 

[DylanJM]

I imagine €6k-€7k for the alloy comp and €5-€6k for the base model. Interesting to see if they get the 600wh or 840wh battery.

The manual also lists the geometry for the alloy models. Confirms that S1 will be alloy only. Also shows that standovers will be noticeably higher than on the corresponding carbon models.
