Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

[LosiSA]

Super loud. My dealer changed the motor immediately. 36 Km on it. ?

Mine was also super loud but only once it got warm i.e. 10km's or so into the ride.... Deal swapped out the motor (took it in the morning and had it back by 2:00pm) the new motor is super quiet like my Gen2 Expert and has been great so far....
I do think they a little different though due to the 34T chain ring.
BTW this also solved my annoying rattle that I had.

Interesting. Could you report back please if the new motor is quiter?

I can confirm. New motor is quiet as it should be and it was in my former Levos.
Lucky me I was able to compare between my 2022 Expert and my buddy’s new 2022 Expert (quiet). If you don’t have the chance to compare, you often think the level of noise is „normal“. I can tell you it’s not. Go to your dealer and ask to swap it out.

I wear ear buds when I ride so I guess I have no idea how loud my motor is and it sounds like I need to not wear them a couple of times to also hear some feedback. This is my first well mountain bike period, I have a 22 Levo Expert and I am very interested to hear how it is a lot of you seem to keep saying that you have a previous year Levo 19, 20, 21 are affording these bikes. Are you guys just selling the older models or are you just hard corps bike collectors, or maybe your just billionaires?

Really no rattle after replacing the motor? My rattle is when I rip down a chunky section and it sounds like the headset is loose.

I have the rattle sound as well. Looks like the cable housing of the brake hoses is rattling against the carbon frame. You can check this when removing the TCU.

i tested everything trying to locate the rattle, took out the battery, checked cables (the Sworks had none) tightened the pivots, took out tcu, finally motor swop sorted it out.

 

[Grugged]

Ok cheers I’ll have another look. I think it may have been culled during the tidy up

I couldn’t find anywhere unfortunately. Am super interested in the comp specs as well as a possible release date. Gonna be a toss between the levo, full fat kenevo if it ever comes and the new norco range

It must have been deleted. However this were the main specs listed, as far as I remember: Fox 36 rhythm fork, Fox Float X shock, Code RS brakes, SRAM GX drivetrain and the same wheels as the expert i think....

Hi, my Levo pro gen 3 also rattles after 200 km, I also have the impression that it is near the steerer tube, headset, shock absorber. In a bike at such a price it is unacceptable, colleagues' bikes for half the price of mine are super quiet compared to mine. Today I am sending it to the store for repair, if they do nothing, it will be my last specialist. I warn you before buying. Sorry for English, written by google translator.

New motor on the way. I feel like I made a really bad investment now with this bike
11500 euros and 60 kms and new motor
The warranty is really good. But I need to wait one week, no riding because of the motor
I hope the new motor last at list one year
I love the bike Is super fast going Dh
But uphill was so loud and not so much power than my kenevo 2019
Let’s see….

 

[NewBeeEMTB]

I will say I am really happy to hear about the good customer service on here.

 

[AlfonsoCosta108]

This is completely true. The best coustumer service. Is my 3th specialized
Enduro 2012 , then I had pívot. (Firebird 27.5 y 29)
Then a Specialized kenevo 2018 (super happy with this ebike.I never had problems)
The pívot shuttle 2019
And now specialized levo pro. ( I love the bike and I hope that the engine will last long )
But the coustumer service. 1st class

 

[roccobarocco]

The best customer service is when you never need it! Anything else is a waste of time and hassle.

 

[NewBeeEMTB]

I am not disagreeing with you about the customer service and not having to need it being a better feature, but if you have not caught on to the way big business does business now a days then you have been hiding from it my friend. The days of heavy R&D are over we are now the R&D department customers want the new stuff and they want it now. It's like new phones and software updates they just release them and fix the problems that people are reporting back with a new update sure they could have keep the product an extra six months and weeded out all the bugs but instead they release it and wait for feedback. It's just where we are now with supply and demand. These bikes are cool aren't they!

Moved my Chris King hubs from another wheelset to replace the stock roval dt’s. Levo sounds mean now. Killa ? ??

I’ve got about 400 miles on my ‘22 expert and when peddling a long uphill it’s very loud. In addition, it doesn’t feel as powerful as the previous gen. I really thought that something was wrong but I rode my bike and a ‘20 levo back to back and yup the previous gen was quieter and more powerful but the difference wasn’t huge. Problem is that although the bike is awesome, you just don’t expect on a $11-15K bike to have a motor that’s not as good as the previous gen. If specialized “fixed” the motor to make it more reliable and made it louder and less powerful, I doubt folks will be happy.

Mine is louder at low rpm and almost silent at a fast pace. I agree its louder slightly overall and it doesnt have the initial punch of my gen1 in turbo but is definitely faster all things considered.

But if is louder and less power make a video and you will have a new motor ! Mine will be here In 3 days !

Oh also i wouldn't say it has less power, its just a smoother delivery.

Would any of you choose a Kenevo20 (full power) over a Levo3 if you had to have one bike?

 

[rydeezie]

I currently own both and like the Gen3 Levo more. Can't wait til the 2023 Kenevo is available....

 

[NewBeeEMTB]

Would any of you choose a Kenevo20 (full power) over a Levo3 if you had to have one bike?

I would not, and I have seen this question a lot. It's obviously a very loaded question because it mainly depends on your riding style but from my understanding if you are kind of allover the place and like to trail ride I think the majority of people would say go with the Levo. Of course that's just my opinion. I will say I watched a video chat on YouTube the other day with Sams bikes and Marshal Mullen and Sam asked Marshal if he only had one bike to choose from would it be the Kenevo, Kenevo SL, Levo or Levo SL he said easily the Levo.

I have strange behaviour on my x2 shock. I have storia also and I've been testing both of these shocks. When x2 is on bike, it does some kind of knocking sound. With storia, there's no knocking sound. Knocking sound comes on roots and rocks and multiple hits. X2 works fine but sound is irritating. Any one gen 3 levo owners experiance about this knocking sound? Is it behaviour twin tube shock or warranty case? This sound has been since I got my bike.

No sound in the x2! Sometimes you need to take all the air out and out it again and every 50psi. Recharge the negative air can !
please where did you Bought your Ext?

Push the battery connector cable into the battery harder. It sometimes feels like it's in, but isn't fully connected.
