Picked up a shop soiled carbon Levo from Tredz. It was a great price at £3570 and I should get another £150 back on TopCashback.
Changed everything on it to my existing bits and bought a coil Push ElevenSix shock from TF Tuned. The Domain forks were already Smashpotted and had the upgraded Charger 2.1 RC2 damper.
Did a local loop maiden voyage this arfo.
it’s a beaut, toight like a tiger. Definitely an improvement on my Trek Rail which I loved.
👍 Looks good. Been riding various Turbo Levos since 2017 and never been disappointed. 50/50 with my Enduro
Back then if you had posted the same you would have had a right old bashing for pages. 🤣
How times have changed. Now its mostly encouragement along with a few negatives usually from the same few.
I sometimes wonder if they even ride bikes 😉
Looks great 👍
Don't let copa see it 🤣
Nice 👍
I can’t be bothered to read the other ebike thread as I was guessing there’d be a lot of dull trolling?!
Fair do’s, they design a good bike. Technically it’s too big for me as an S4 and I’m 5’8” but the 175mm dropper works a treat and I’m loving the reach and dinky stem.
This was my last Specialized, an SX Trail:
what do you notice compared to the rail? i've a gen 3 9.8 with ext coil, smashpot zeb, axs gearing and shigura brakes. i find no downsides except the weight
That's a proper bargain, looks the nuts
I never ran a coil on the rear of the Rail but most other bits are the same as yours, including Shiguras.
The other difference is going from a medium Rail to a large Levo.
maybe because the Levo is brand new and the Rail is now 3 years old, gen 2 too.
It felt a better fit, more planted and comfy. It somewhat surprised me because I loved riding the Rail.
Toight like a tiger indeed! Nice bike, even better quote, will be using that more often myself! <br /><br />
ps - also have both bike and an eeb, love them both for different reasons
MintyJim - how is it better that the Rail?
(Just asking as a Rail owner)
Mwnt looking good too.
Mwnt always looks good! 😊
@mrmoofo I did write a few words a couple of responses back.
it felt more stable but still capable on the nadergy stuff.
Honestly hard to compare fairly because the Rail is medium , the Levo is large and brand new!
when I borrowed my mates alu Levo S4 I was faster everywhere than on my Rail and my Rail was pretty good! My Rail was the smaller gen2 too.
I could even just unconsciously think the Levo is better because I’ve dropped a load of dosh so it’d better be! 🤔
I sometimes wonder if they even ride bikes 😉<br />
They do, but not very far and they’re knackered for days when they’re finished. Unlike us enlightened types.
I know that route well mintyjim. Use to cycle it everyday in the summer holidays with my schoolmates.
Blimey, you’re not from Cardigan are you??
we moved to Ferwig in ‘88.
Llechryd from 76 followed by Gwbert, Fishguard, Cilgerran and now Bristol. Still have family in Cilgerran.
Oh nice.
I left in 1996 to go to uni and the wide world but moved back 2013.
my wife’s from Tresaith and we now live in Aberporth.
Getting an ebike 4 years ago meant I could finally cycle up the back side of Foel y Mwnt after a teenage hood of failure!
