Levo Gen 2 Newbie Dropper Post questions

[PetarHolland]

Hello, i'm a 2018 Turbo levo hardtail owner, and i'm also a neewbie in the MTB world and in cycling in general..
I would liketo mount the crank brothers highline dropper post in my turbo levo..

They are compatible? Can i use the internal routing cable that the crank brothers needs?
Do i have to watch some other things?

Thanks!

The answer is yes, just make sure you buy the right diameter seat post. You tube has lots of good videos on how to install, but i think on the Levo you may need to drop the motor to do so?

Someone can confirm that i need to drop the motor to mount the dropper post cable? I've never done that, and i have to value if i may need some help ^^

Sure,
you need to drop the battery and remove the the left upper motor cover to access the bottom of the seat tube. You don’t have to drop the motor. Run the cable housing through the guide hole on the right side of the frame. Grab the end of the housing and push it through the gap between the frame and the motor and direct it up over the motor up through the bottom of the seat tube.

I just pull out the battery, on my hardtail, it seems that there is no need to take out the right motor cover. (and i don't have the tools to do that).
There is one cable holder empty, and pointing to my seat tube. I will order my dropper post today, and i will update here with the results ^^

Installed in an hours, with no issue, there is a "guided hole" under the battery, that reach the seatpost tube! Installing the dropper post in my specialized HT turbo levo 2018, was easy and fun, even for a newbee !

Nice! Enjoy it

I'm also a newbie in this hobby, couldn't do without my dropper now!

You’ll be happy with the drop post. My kenevo came with one and I had to replace it. I did need a shim, but it works great. Post photos

Hi, I’ve just bought a 2019 Levo HT. what size is the post length and drop length?
There are 440mm posts with 150mm drop but my existing post is no where near that long and I don’t want to buy something that is too big? It is a 30.9mm diameter post.
thanks

Sorry perhaps I should have said My bike is XL and I’m 6ft 3 so have the existing seat quite high.

What post length did you use in the end

On my 2019 Turbo levo the seat tube inside diameter is 34.9 so dropper post needs to be a 34.9 outside diameter to fit the seat tube.
