I would ask them, if it is possible to get the new one. Even if the charge you the upgraded tcu and the probably more expensive motor it would still be worth it.
Yes. Waiting 8 weeks for the same motor is totally unacceptable. 8 weeks for the 1.2 would at least slightly take the edge off.

Please keep us up to date how they reply.Initial reply was that there is no new motor as far as they are aware... Follow up was that the 1.1 motor will ALWAYS be warrantied with a 1.1 motor because the shape is slightly different.
The optimist in me wants to believe that there might be a 1.1.2 motor with the benefits of the 1.2 motor sealing and crank interface (surely they want to reduce their own warranty burden) down the line, or even that their might be some wiggle room on getting the 1.2 motor in (if the mounts were in the same locations but the frame needed some slight trimming then I could live with that) but realistically I think it is probably just what they have said. ie. it's going to mean a new bike to get the new motor.

Oops, Bikeradar jumps the gun. New SL to have 50nm and over 300w peak power. The official launch must be any day now.
The article is already saved on here in the files. if you go back a few pages
Best one was when a cropped photo of your batman one appeared on a forum asking if this is the new levo sl
If I was to go down the frame only option, I’ve already got a well specced Levo SL to donate parts.
Something I don’t have, is a mullet wheel set. In fact, the only part of my 2019 Levo SL that’s original is the Roval carbon wheels!
Can anyone recommend a solid lightweight carbon mullet wheel set that I should be looking at if I get a frame only?

If aluminium is fine I can recommend the newman evolution SL wheelset.

of all the reviews i’ve read concerning durability, the reserve sl, the we are one union/convergence, and the roval traverse sl not only popped up the most but were the most praised.
i think i’m going for either the reserve or the we are one, mainly for their generous replacement warranty.
Buy a used rear hub, order a CF wheel from CarbonFans & have it laced locally.
This is essentially what I did by repurposing a lightly used hub I had on the shelf.

The Roval carbon wheels are priced great, work well, and are guaranteed for life. They are hard to beat. I have 4 sets. For whatever reason they do not sell them in mixed sets. The reserve wheels are absolutely bomb proof but I feel like they are a little over priced. I’ve broken a few spokes on my Rovals but I’ve never cracked or broken a wheel.

Did you get a discount for it being a 22 model?

I have no idea what it’s actually going to cost. MSRP is $8k. I buy bikes pretty frequently from the same shop.

But wouldn't it be fun to know the build date ... given this thread started Jan 22....

I have no idea why in America we write it this way when the rest of the world seems to do it the other way.

Specialized makes some great bikes, but my goodness they surely make dull to boring paint choices. So boring. Sorry Specialized.

It’s very quiet. The high pitch whine is 100% gone. Once I get it on a real trail under a real load I’ll report back. I’m fairly certain that it’s much quieter than both of my full size Levos.
