Good information, bolt check once a week. ill keep that in mind.
I love mine after 14 months 🤟🏼
I agree! I love my 2029 Turbo Levo Comp. Got thousands of KM on it! Upgraded to Purple Hayes brakes, wider wheels (more stability). I agree with the cabling, so I went wireless AXS drivetrain and dropper. But all in all it is fun and bomber!
Modifying your bike is almost as fun as riding it!
Love mine! Trick with the dropper post cable is to pull the casing leaving the inner wire still in. Then run the new casing over the old inner cable. Once that’s in pull the old inner cable out and run the new one through the new casing 👍 Although I’ve eliminated all of that now by replacing with a reverb axs(also running axs derailleur as trying to go as wireless as possible in the cockpit) Still need to do my brakes and shox though so thanks for the tips on the V and E4’s 👍
Just seen your new bike running AXS also 😄👍
haha yer just fit AXS!
Freaking genius man. Next time I need to replace the cable I'm doing that.
Ive been riding mine for about 6 months and i absolutely love it. i have been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years, and it jave had this much fun on a bike, in a very long time.
Usually i would ride my DH bike at bike parks all summer, but now i got a Turbo Levo, i ride everywhere.
When i first started riding i tried to explain it to people by telling them i jad to use my brakes on the climb.
I am a turbo lover and love to ride in turbo. I wish it went faster, with more power.
But one of the best things is the adjustability of the power. I can ride in full boost mode Trubo, or make it feel more natural like im pedaling a real bike, with a lil help.
When im done a good ride, i am buzzing. I do a lot of good rides.
I think alot of people dont fully understand the capabilities of the bike with the adjustments. Its 5 bikes in one! What a machine!
@@BRINKUK I haven't even messed with the adjustments. I couldn't imagine lowering the bottom bracket. I get pedal strikes a lot. But I am used to specialized bikes and their low BB
I have a2019 comp 11/12 thousands kms , still humming a long 🤠love my levo
Much cheaper to buy a jeep with a trailer and an off road motorbike .
@@lionheart4552 I guess if you don't have a lot of money, you have to convince yourself EMTBs aren't worth it.
All I know is that you can't buy the happiness I get from riding my Turbo Levo. You probably don't understand the joy of riding bikes either, and that's OK, not everyone does.
As far as just riding a moto, I am buying one of those in a couple weeks. I'm getting a Surron Ultra Bee and the wife is getting the Light Bee. I can't ride e-moto's on the mountain bike trails I know and love, but I live in an area with plenty of moto trails. It's a different type of riding, but still a source of much fun.
Spent just shy of a half hour rethreading dropper cable. Didn’t need to drop motor at least.
there is one german made motor that out clim s the brose and that is the Sach/BMZ rs. it has 112 Nm at low cadence, as low as 4o to 60 rpm's . i'm close to80 years old and can beat my 45 year old friend on his bosch cx on any hill .
This give me hope.
I'm about to turn 54, and I am constantly doing the math in my head how much longer I have left.
5 years? 10 years maybe? I don't know, I get depressed thinking about it. I'm still in great shape now, with 1 knee replacement, and I feel great so I try not to worry.
I met a guy last ride who was 68 and still kicking it.
The one thing in life we will never get more of, is time.
nice bike and review, what fork you riding? still mullet? Have a nice ride.Levo gen 2 or 3?
Still on a levo! Just built a new one actually so go check the video out! Ohlins for life!!
Nice Video, how much psi are you running on your fork?
Cheers! I’m running 250 in the ramp chamber are 95 in the main. but, I rode Maderia in September last year and my setup was quite a bit softer there. It’s not very bumpy around my local woods
How tall are you? Im thinking of the S3 too and this will be super helpful 🙏🏻
I’m 5’10” we actually have an entire video of me puzzling Levo sizing!

Any of you gen 3 Levo owners have any issues with the motor after a year plus of riding? I've only had mine for a few months and it's been great so far!
We have very very little issues with them compared to others!
Nearly 2 years in 4000ks and no issues touch wood
My Kenevo gen2 is 4 years now without any problems
No issues at all, going on 8 months
I’ve had mine for 18 months and no issues with my motor.
What is the wrap on the frame?
Its DyedBro frame protection. Check out our site for the full range!
Are you swapping the stock battery with the 500W battery for weight savings?
Yep! I’d go 400wh if I could!
@@BRINKUKreally would like the weight of the bike, with 500 battery 🙂?
Guys im 175, which did you find nore comfortable? The s3 or s4 size?
at 175 we would recommend the S3. S4 is pretty long and because the seat tube angle isnt that slack on the Levos it makes them feel pretty big when your seated. Would recommend trying one of course! Come in store and we can take you for a ride! Cheers, Mat
Hi mate how tall are you going for the S4
Im 5 10 ish but to be honest i need to run the bike in slack to get the reach where I like it.
720wh? they only do 700wh dont they? killer bike had mine just over a year and love it
no theres a 500\wh battery aswell. Makes the bike a little lighter! lol
@@BRINKUK I know about the 500 was pointing out the 720wh he mentioned 😂
What’s the weight difference
I was thinking the same, I thought 700 was the largest.
I wouldn't mind a 720 though. I don't care about weight. The bike feels plenty planted at 700, but not sluggish.
I have the 500wh battery wish I would have gotten the 720wh battery sometimes.
I bought the same bike and changed everything before it left the shop because the standard bits are not good.
Same here! Worked lovely once id spent another 3k on it! haha
@@BRINKUK me to but I did get a free 700w battery on top of the 500w😀
@@strutstipher Yer that was a pretty massive bonus TBH! These times wont happen again!
Why not just buy the expert?
Great option for handicapped and un-fit people to get out and enjoy the trails
Just stick to your road bike and your power meter and let the real riders have fun.
@@JubeProductions key word “ riders “ . Just get a Surron and you won’t have to pedal or exert much energy at all .
@@WandersonRC3 you wouldn't be able to handle a ride with me. If you're worried about watts and power while climbing, you ride for the wrong reasons.
I ride faster, longer and father than I ever did. You don't have the technical skills to ride the type of terrain i ride, at the speeds I ride. I'm still pedaling, I just have an advantage. If you think using a motor is cheating because it makes it easier, than using suspension is cheating because it makes it easier.
I've never ridden a bike for fitness. If riding a mountain bike was bad for my health, I would still ride. If all you want to do is focus on fitness, then stick to your road bike and brag about your watts and power on Strava. 😂
@@JubeProductions motorcycle “rider”
@@WandersonRC3 Roadie 😂
Is this the 2023 model very basic model? because I just ordered mine on sale w/ 700kwh battery :)
I think specialized upgraded them to 700kwh to help improve sales. I have one on order too with the 700kwh but I think back in 2022 they were all 500kwh.
How do you like it ? I am contemplating buying it !
@@bryankaml3853 I'm loving the levo carbon. Build quality is really good and the motor feels great. I chose specialized due to their warranty and dealer network mainly. Keep an eye out for deals on the Levo Alloy Comp. That model has better parts and can be had for cheap in a few places. The base carbon costs similar but comes with a terrible fork and the brakes suck.
I’m 5’8” what size do you recommend?
I'm same height and I have an S3. Love it the way it feels. Comfortable going up and down.
