Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL with 90 nm...

[Frank_Denmark]

Take Your obsolete 2020 S-Works at 20.5 kg (700wh)
Remove 50% of the battery cells = Saves almost 2 kg = 18.6 kg
Remove tools from the steerer tube
Go tubeless
Change to 2.3" tires with trail casing = Saves 350 g
Get a Selle X-LR saddle = Saves 110 g
Use Your old 34" factory fork = Saves 216 g
Remove chainstay protector and add some helitape

You will end up with a 17.5ish Levo with 350 wh and still 90 nm torque

Ok smarty. How the feck do I remove battery cells?

Think it's not just power, but delivery, drive, drag too.

Should I take a jigsaw to the chainstay too to make that shorter

This ebike doesn't appeal to most 'ebikers'. But the minority, myself included. This sounds and looks like the bike I've been dreaming of for years.

I also find the SL attractive ?

But I think it will end up like this:

Me not that fit buying a Levo
2 years later
Me more fit buying the SL
2 years later
Me buying the new Stumpjumper ?‍?

The next Mission Control App will connect to HR monitor and weighing scales with built in BMI (Bike Match Indicator) letting us know when we are ready for that Stumpjumper ?‍

no need to muck around with cells...i swapped my 700 with another owners 500, and you still have your warranty intact

I also switched to 27.5 instead of the 29ners, Ti bolts, renthal carbon bar and stem, praxis carbon crank, tubeless 2.3/2.4 dhf/dhr

after all that....net savings is 1.5kg.

But i would still rather have a SL

I plan to keep the old Levo for the days I'm in "turbo mode"
- and get the SL for the days I need some serious work-out
