Been tweaking my Levo Expert 19

Mods so far -

Shaft upgrade to Pike fork - 160mm travel
DVO Topaz shock 210 x 55 - 157mm travel
Running 27.5 wheels from an 18 Levo
Magic Mary 2.8 soft compound (Orange)at front
Standard Butcher Grid 2.8 at the rear
Raceface Chester pedals
Renthal 800mm Fatbar
Renthal 31mm stem
K-Edge steerer tube Garmin mount
Revgrips - (pro , large)

Observations -
Chuffing Awesome !!
Super Plush and confidence inspiring
Bulldozes through the lumpy stuff but still nimble
Still playing with 27.5 v 29 v 27.5/29 wheel combo but I think I prefer the 27.5 with 2.8 tyres
Switching to 27.5 with tyres as above lowered the bottom bracket about 13mm.
Lengthing the fork to 160mm and flipping the shock chip to High has raised it back up about 6 mm .So BB is now about 7 mm lower than with standard 29er
No pedal strikes , although I am being careful of pedal position through the rough stuff.
Head and seat angle barely changed

Potential Further Upgrades -
Crank Bros Lithium wheels are seducing me
Some sexy coloured disc rotors like Hope are turning my head as well
Rear tyre needs some attention - Butcher is ok in the dry and rolls well but is worse than useless in the wet .Probably swap it around with something else (not decided on what yet) depending on conditions.
Sump guard for motor/battery

Are those semi-permanent? Or can you take them off fairly easily if you are only going for short rides and would rather bring a water bottle?

The extender can be taken out in 10 seconds. In most cases i just leave it in ;)
 
Only had my Levo Comp Carbon 3 weeks so far Invisiframe wrapped, changed seat and grips to Ergon and swapped out the forks to my existing 160 Lyriks which I had Push ACS3 converted last year. I also have a set of blue Hope V4’s with blue centre disks which I may put on but just riding and trying out the RE’s that come on the bike for the moment.
Might also swap out the rear shock at some point any recommendations? Loved the coil that was on a Fantic 180 that I demoed while riding at the Forest of Dean.

What sort of money did the invisiframe cost fitted?
