Im glad i found this channel being a big boy myself at 6'3" 300lbs. Gives me the confidence to go through with my purchase of a levo since they are price decently atm!
There is a company called Cascade Components and they make a rear linkage for the Levo that bumps up the progression and travel to 165mm using a bigger 230x65 shock, its a great upgrade for anyone looking for more downhill capability and for bigger guys
Dude u NEED the cascade link for the Tlevo and possibly the whole long shock kit. I have a 22 expert and at 200lbs was blowing through all the travel on the X2 with 3 volume spacers. The stock Tlevo leverage ratio is quite linear by default. The cascade link increased progression by about 10% and now I only need 2 volume spacers in the X2 and hardly ever bottom out. Plus the bike feels so much better riding aggressive terrain and pumping/jumping. U weigh a fair amount more than I do and I think you'll get more out of the bike and enjoy it even more with that link; look into it u won't regret it!
Great video and wondering if that is a tuned rear shock? I tried 3 shocks (coil and 2 air cans) and bottomed out multiple times every ride with the right spring and over-pressured air cans. RS select +, 2024 Fox X2, and RS Ultimate Coil 650 spring. 225 lbs geared and cannot get anything to work. The X2 is the closest with 290 PSI (40 over recommended PSI) and 4 spacers (max vol spacers) and still bottoms out in the open position. I move it to firm and it does not bottom out, but feels like a hard tail cause its maxed everything (PSI and spacers).
What air pressure do you ride the ZEB with? Which fork do you like better for a heavy rider (310lb / 140kg), the Fox 38 or ZEB? If I look at the PSI data from RockShox for a 170mm ZEB, someone with 170kg should actually be able to ride it within the specifications as far as the air pressure is concerned. Because with a weight of 99kg+, RockShox recommends just half the maximum permissible air pressure. With Fox it's different, higher air pressures are specified there than with the ZEB and the max. PSI is lower. In the finished bike that I would like to buy, a Fox 38 Performance Elite and a Fox Float X2 Performance Elite (OEM) would be installed.
I'm 6'2" 260#. How did you figure out you wanted 50mm bar rise? I'm getting a lot of pressure on my palms, thinking some bar rise might help. Bike looks nice.
Hi mate, Im 6'3" and 165lbs and I have a 80mm rise in my bars to get me more upright and weight off my hands. Turbo Levo Alloy Comp is a bulldozer. Forks and shock are fine . I setthe fork with a little less air to soften it up and use more of the travel and that made a big difference to the pounding on my wrists in the chunky stuff.
do the ebikes in the US also have weight ratings? that and the frame size are the main problems i found looking for ebikes especially in the MTB category. im 201cm tall so i need a huge frame to get that thing to be big enough and most eMTBs i saw maxed out at 130kg total weight which means the rider cant be over 100kg to use them as the bikes are heavy on their own. i only found bikes in the trekking category to have higher weight ratings so far.

I’m also a pretty large guy being 6’4, 250ish and ride a 2020 Levo SL. Love it!
Speed and Power. Strength and Honor.

Yup the cascade king travel link is a must!!! 165 in the back!! MONEY! What I have 1000% better!
Cascade links are awesome
Good to hear you mention the cascade link. Im genuinely thinking of running it! Thanks💪🏼
Did you get the lt link or the regular link? The lt link looks badd ass but it is pricey with buying a new shock also. I'm about 220.
Love my levo. It's a beast. The Kenevo SL is next for me =)
Love the longer content Bud you need to upload some riding
How much pressure do you need in the float X? Does it handle the bottom out's ik?

Wouldn’t the Kenevo be a better choice for a heavy rider? Because of the coil shock, which you can replace with a stronger one
The Kenevo is also fantastic, and definitely burly👌🏼
Think you need Altitude Powerplay Play. Bigger battery more torque.

Where do ride? Those hills look familiar.
Im in the Bay Area, CA
Can you let me know what brake pads you are using?
Stock Sram pads😂
A specialized eBike that works? That's unusual 😂
What size is your bike?
Size S5, but I should be on a S6…. I run a smaller size so it’s a little more playful

Stay on Alloy if you are bigger guy
wow, you should have gotten a Kenevo,,,,180mm both ends.
How many ticks did u have on you after being in all that tall grass?💀💀💀
Ticks are my friends at this point😂
Gang
I’m surprised you aren’t snapping spokes like potato sticks . I did at your weight . It was awful . Hit a sidewalk crack like hitting a crater
Poor motor 😂
