Doesn't seem to be much in the way of real-world online reviews of the women's Turbo Levo short travel (120mm) 6Fattie - anyone have any knowledge or experience?

I read a discussion somewhere regarding was there any actual difference between the 120mm and 135mm Levos? No conclusion was reached, but there was much suspicion. Some think the 135mm Levo is actually 129mm. What if the 120mm one was 129mm too?

I'm selling one for my Mrs

To be honest I had one of the men's turbo levos in medium and the suspension was no different I could tell the difference between the 140 or 120 big 2.8 fat tyres on the 120 Mrs bike made it ace to ride the 140 was like a bouncy castle monster truck thing with its 3.0 semi slick things

Mine definitely had a 140 fork on it hers still has a 120 fork

We have the normal 2018 one and can't fault it. Climbs great and going down hill is as good. Bought it after getting fed up of having to share a 2017 one.
Always puts a smile on my face

Seems fair to me too!

Looking at the geo it looks like the ST frame is the same as the normal frame just with a different linkage/yoke (and fork) to reduce the travel - anyone able to confirm or deny this? Have asked Specialized but no reply as yet.
