Thanks 👍

@LeeErnstGroup your welcome

You're welcome ​@@LeeErnstGroup

@@gainknowledgeandinsight it’s the 2022 Carbon Base. Purchased in 2023 lower spec parts than what you have. Also the fork blew out after two rides and they replaced it with a Lyric. Nose upgrade and thanks to Specialized and the dealer I purchased from for making it happen.

@ that’s awesome! Specialized is such a great brand. I love the e-bike. I’ve only taken it out once - waiting for my bike wrap to arrive. Yeah, I’m that guy. I spent too much for it to get scratches. I wrap as much as I can - to protect her beauty. 😝

@@gainknowledgeandinsight Same here! I wrapped this one too. Smart move. Its only new once! So lets prolong it

@@LeeErnstGroup amen! I took it out just once to test it and realize too many pebbles and stuff was coming up and I thought, no more until I get it wrapped. Waiting on more pieces from Wild Wrap. I have it on all my bikes. Just gives me a little peace of mind. I want to keep my beautiful carbon paint job as pristine as possible for as long as possible. I think of a Marine taking special care of their weapon - that’s how I feel about all my MTB’s. 😂

@@gainknowledgeandinsight Same but it takes discipline to not go out and ride the heck out of it!

I just watched it and changed title before I saw your reply

Clipped in on magnet pedals instead of real clips. These are easier on my knees but not as solid as clip ins. But better to me than flat pedals. The joke is I Can't commit. Not to pedals but I can to friends and family. How corny is that?

They are an insurance company-Global Risk Solutions

Quartz is my local trail. It is nestled between Gateway and Lost Dog Wash

👍🏻

No permits needed. There is a great group of Hawes-aholics that volunteer to help maintain. There are build days out there as well for anyone looking to pitch in

@@LeeErnstGroup All the signs say the Usery area is permit area. I was buying $7 permits to stay out at Hawes overnight. From NM.

@@laeljon Not sure where that is? We ride out of the park and ride at the highway on off ramp for this section. Also the ATV parking lot. The Mcdowell Mountain Park has a $7 entrance fee

@@mmark300 that is a fast trail but tight and narrow turns to get you back on the brakes in some spots. And boulders in the decreasing radius turns. Challenging for sure

It really is!

maps.app.goo.gl/X9EzycMd64HxWFbu6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Here is where we parked and started. I need to go back. It’s been a few years

@@LeeErnstGroup you the man!! I appreciate the quick response. Hope I see you on the trails some day 🤙🏽

@@smokeEmUp100 I’m due for a ride at Papago park. It’s been a few years!

Good news is most of the parts are holding up. The fork started leaking after my second ride. The good and the bad is they replaced it with a better fork, which is a lyric. But it took two or three weeks to get it back. The good news about this is buying it from a bike shop. The guys will fight for you to get a replacement and it worked out, kudos to Dynamite Bike Lab. The other parts so far have not broken or given me any problems.

Hi Ed, I need to get up to that trail and that route more often. Thanks for finding the channel and question for you. Are you a mountain Biker as well?

I hope you can still get this bike. Or at least a spec comparable. As far as the bike stand that I have back there, the holder arm contraption :-) it’s just a lower price version of a mechanic shop stand. I was trying to find one at the local bike shops and couldn’t find one so I got one off of Amazon. I try to buy locally from the shops first. Doesn’t seem like something they stock at the shops I go to.

That’s a bummer but I also have a friend with a 2023 nicely speced Levo. he hasn’t had any battery issues and mine is a 2022 which was probably why they were blowing these things out pretty cheap. Oh this was weird my battery was charging up to 81% so I unplugged it and charge it in and walk away thinking that it was charging again and it turns out the Specialized app I had it set to only charge to 80% so anybody out there reading this Make sure you don’t have that box checked off on the Specialized app that works with your Turbo Levo

Verified that the “harness” ( plug cable) was faulty. Fixed and back in the dirt. 👍🏽

This is part of the McDowell Mountain Gateway trail system in Scottsdale. We've had a lot of rain so it is pretty green and getting ready for a super bloom. Thanks for watching.

Check with a dealer if you have a specialized dealer near you. I just looked on their site and does not say anything about the battery but it still may be available

Jagged rock as well

Thanks for sharing

Wow, I thought I got a deal but you stole it. Lol. So I need to do a new video and point out the new fork that I got. My stock fork blew up on the internals and it leaked out on the non-drive side stanchion. The shop I bought it from did a great job representing me, and somehow got it replaced with a Rock Shox lyric. Which is an Upgrade from the 33 that came on the bike, so I’m very happy. Like you my bike is getting better and better :-) I also upgraded to the better Sram derailer and shifter just because I don’t like the one click thing on the lower spec. I like the higher end one that you can click off more gears in certain situations

I need to get out here again I only hit this trail one time

Not a downer at all. It’s great to see a good bike at a fair price getting into the hands of Mountain Bikers. It’s an expensive sport and wherever people can save a buck is good for the industry. It allows riders to buy parts as upgrades or replacements and those dollars are going back into the industry. Btw when I purchased had a retail of $6800

@@LeeErnstGroup true. The $5000 is still a good price for a name brand bike. I just bought my Heckler which was on sale for $6500. With what I know now, I would have bought 2 of the Levos 😭😭😭.

@@SavvyBayAreaHomeOwner having 2 bikes is great! Go get it :) it’s easy to spend other people’s money 😂

Nice tip on shock setup. And Note for general public Shock Setup must take a lot of consideration on Riders Weight

Haha, yes it is a good deal on a E-Bike. The top of the line version of this retails over $12,000 2023 Specialized Levo SL S-Works CarbBrsh/BlkLqdMet/BlkCp S6 US $12,999.99 And to compare a new Yamaha GSXR 1100 will retail for $18,000 Like you I am shocked (pun intended) on how much bikes cost these days

Thanks ✌️

:) Mike your the best haha

There are times when the camera cuts off 😢

The downhill on the fireroad is in here and maybe we have the other trails. Need to make it through all the film

Look them up on youtube. Cyclist with 360 cameras. Incredible.

yes but I have not looked into it yet

Hi Gary~I used Rock 'n' Roll Gold Chain Lubricant. Happy Riding! Lee
