Got rail 9.8 Gen 4 last month. Its an absolute beast. I also have 2022 Slash 9.8 XT. I adore that bike so will keep it. But damn the rail is a masterpiece. The only thing i didnt like on rail is the suspension it came with. Select+ was terrible in my opinion. But maybe i dont like it because i have Superdeluxe thrushaft on my Slash which is best airshock i ever tested. So i will change the rear shock at some point. But wow what a bike rail was. My friend also has Specialized S Works turbo Levo G3 with some changes. Its like the top end Specialzed bike with upgrades making it even better. He switched rear shock from fox float x2 to EXT coil shock, the handlebar and switched the tires to michelin EBike tires also the damper on fox 38 to 170 mm.. That bike is also a beast. I dont feel any difference from the torque. I honestly would say Rails Bosch CX in that Turbo mode feels like giving more agressive power delivery despite the numbers. Frame looks is rail all day, but matter of opinion. Geometry since he changed the front to 170 mm and rear to 165 mm i would say his bike is a bit more of enduro than mine, but i can also upgrade if needed. Overall i think you can not go wrong with either one. But in my honest opinion Rail has upperhand because of that CX motor, more wattage on the battery frame design i just better. Specialized in the motor part has a pretty chuncky section that hides the motor. Trek Rail if not the motor sound you would probably think its a normal bike. The Bosch motor looks smaller and is hidden more cleverly. My friend has the better components because i couldnt afford highest components. But if i could get highest components i have no doubt in my mind Rail is a better bike. But the difference is not that big and maybe im slightly biased to Treks designs. But i prefer Rail over Levo
“entry level”? “Budget bikes”? What are you talking about? Budget emtb’s are £1500/$2000 These start at like £5k / $5.5usd! And you are showing a lot of the Sworks and carbon versions on this video which is almost £10k gbp!
Don’t buy the levo if you expect that replacement parts won’t be available for three months. I ordered a rear triangle June 6 and still no word about when it might ever come in.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
Budget bikes but you’re showing a lot of high end bikes like S WORKS and carbon models. Definitely the Levo is a winner.
Budget can be anything high from low.

These bikes looks like cock extensions, you can hook up anything what not escaping on tree.
