Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

[beutelfuchs]

Here we go mates. 1st ride, love after the first trail!

 

[Stone0207]

Use a 3mm for the LSC and a 6mm for the HSC. The HSR is a dial located at the rear of the shock.

Nope. The x2 on the expert does not have the red hsr dial as well as it does not have the hsc tuneability.
But hey...who cares. Two things less to fiddle around with?I am sure that it will take long enough to get everything dialed in anyway

btw... I am not too familiar: are all rear shox on all spech bikes rx tuned? If so I would trust them to be very well set up for the bike and that it won t hurt too much that you cannot adjust hsr and hsc ??‍

HSR is Pro and S-Works shocks, not on the Expert.

Only for the Factory series

Actually the same adjusters are also present for Performance Elite. Levo Expert has a Performance Elite forks, but the shock is a more basic Performance line. HSC and HSR are not there unfortunately. It is what it is - the bike is still super great ?

 

[Stone0207]

I think there is no X2 performance elite, even as an OEM. correct me if I am wrong

 

[Moe Ped]

My gen 3 pro with a few ugrades and my Ransom which attcked and injured me.

And Lucy my Marremma who manages to walk in front of me every time i take a photo.

Can start riding again in 2 weeks time.

Can’t say for sure. On one hand Specialized website lists Fox Float X2 Performance Elite for Expert, on the other - the dials are missing. It can be a typo on a website, but maybe Performance Elite shock is not “no kashima Factory line”.

 

[Stone0207]

but maybe Performance Elite shock is not “no kashima Factory line”.

That is what I think as well.
What does the stickers say on your shock itself? Attached is a DPX2 2019 which is elite and also does not have hsr and hsc ....anyway.. if the bike rocks it really doesn t matter

 

[Paolone]

Non ho idea di quanto pesi, ma immagino che la differenza di peso da Pro a Expert sia quasi trascurabile. Le ruote, il manubrio e il reggisella Fox in carbonio potrebbero ridurre i 200-300 g, ma questo è tutto. Se decidi di andare con la versione Pro otterrai componenti premium (sospensioni di fabbrica e ruote in carbonio) ma questo è tutto. Le e-bike non sono necessariamente per i piccoli di peso .

Per fare un confronto ho il Niner Air 9 Carbon completamente rigido (sotto i 9 kg), il Santa Cruz Nomad con specifica X01 (13,5 kg) e il Levo 2022. Devo assolutamente imparare a fare il bunny hop o manualmente con il peso aggiunto di Levo, ma in pista o una scia di chilogrammi in più semplicemente scompare.

Compra quello che ti piace e quello che puoi permetterti. È un'ottima bici senza dubbio.

PS. Quasi dimenticavo il fattore più importante: la disponibilità . Ero sul mercato per il Pro, ma non mi dispiace risparmiare $ 2k e 3 mesi di attesa.

you've been kind ! The fact is that coming from the second generation Levo (weight 22kg with 500 battery) I would not want to increase the weight and find myself with a bicycle similar to the old Kenevo that I have used for 10 months ... I have done two years of racing with Nomad4 in Italy and still I used to use Nomad tre ... levo 2 is the only eBike I have tried to give me the feeling of a "bicycle" on the descent ... I hate having something awkward and slow on the descent

That‘s the shock:

And that’s what it says on Specialized website:

 

[James_MTB]

Swapped out the specialized tires to magic marys. I wasn't impressed with them on the wet roots.

Fitted Tannus Armor inserts, now running 18 psi front and 21 psi rear.

Got this error today whilst pedaling a flat section.

Had to switch off and on! I'm on motor firmware 7.4.2 @Specialized Rider Care any thoughts?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Sounds a bit like a false error they're trying to rectify.

 

[zorro77]

It is the same error he gave me in the shop when I turned on a new S-works to see the display

?

 

[ruppia]

Sometimes i have E144 error…
MC said water inside motor. Restart and always gone.
i ask my dealer that had no clue

 

[Stone0207]

Look at that… a beauty

What did you fit in the bottle cage area ?

Luca

Thats a lock

 

[Stone0207]

I would have fit a waterbottle….not my bike unfortunately

 

[beutelfuchs]

Did somebody check the mission control app for firmware updates? To me it says there is an update but it has to be done by the dealer. Istn´t that weird given the new TCU should support updates through the user?

 

[AKAKTM]

Just finished up the dialing-in and customizing the Levo Pro. Have two rides on it coming off a Rail, Levo SL and Levo Expert before that. I'm loving the S4 Pro so far. Corners well and rides smaller than the wheelbase would indicate. I found my Rail to be more comfortable and easier to ride hard than the Gen 2 Levo and this one may even be better. I'll know in a few more rides. I do wish I could get the limiter to 24mph or so. Too easy to hit the 19mph cut off!

Please, read this thread

Other - Brose 2.1/2.2 firmware update problem (Levo/Kenevo)

@E759 sent a direct message. Thanks We are all having this same issue, is there a fix coming? Do we need to do anything? Thanks

[beutelfuchs]

Thanks, unfortunately that doesn´t seem to be my issue. RC reported it as fixed already last Friday. That was even before I tried it fot the first time.

What frame protection is that? Did you leave the existing down tube tape in place and go over it?

 

[AKAKTM]

Used Ridewrap. On both this and another bike I have Ridewrapped, I left the factory down tube protection on and did not replace it with the Ridewrap.

I should receive Ridewrap for my Expert later today. I contacted Ridewrap about dealing with the existing factory film on the down tube and seat tube. They suggested removing it but I'm not sure that I want to do that. How did you work around the factory film?

I left mine on. I see it as more protection but it’s going to look messy on the rear triangle or anywhere the existing film is. I just use my heat gun to make the Ridewrap pliable around the existing film. Seat tube is easy. I have some air bubbles along the down tube film edges but not too noticeable. I’m ok with it.
