I've got the 2022 levo turbo alloy, I picked it up in the sales for 5.5k then spent another 3k on upgrades.. I upgraded the suspension to factory 36 forks and then an X2 fox factory rear suspension, I also uploaded the entire brake system to hope tech 4s in orange with 220mm orange rotors and we fitted the speedbox 3.0 and a lot of other bits and bobs!!
could you confirm that this comp model comes with the Roval Traverse wheels? my dealer told me this comes with non branded rims, which is genuinely disappointing.
1.1 motor is quite noisy, definitely not super quiet. With way quieter, more powerful 1.2 motor and updated geometry, Specialized has hit a home run. Anxiously waiting for updated Kenevo SL.
@@davefreeman9347 the way the bike market is specialized cant sell bikes unless they are seriously reduced, ive seen gen 1 kenevo SLs up for under5 k, they used to be 9k in the uk, i cant see them bringing much else out until they get rid of stock
@@megane230f1 agreed I have a Trek Fuel Exe 9.5 the full price in UK was £6400 I bought it for £4895 it’s now down to £3995 that’s a serious reduction but the bubble was going to burst at some point the bike market has got a bit out of control seeking top end bikes for £10k is ridiculous I think there will be casualties going forward as this credit crunch bites further
Considering getting this bike as atm its available for £3450 in the uk. Ive got a Trek slash 8 atm. Would you say the levo will feel the same even though its 10mm shorter travel? Also im 177cm and unsure what size would be best! Lastly i don't understand why specialized haven't out a 35mm stem on the levo! Seems unusual nowadays to have 40mm stems. Cheers and great informative video 👌
Purchased it at that price the other day got a large I am 6'1 and is perfect sizing. Bike at that price is a bargain it's ridiculous light for an e bike love it
Bargain! Very different bikes in terms of support systems, peak power and torque though. Those things aren't really options to change - so make your choice around the motor and frame.
There are a lot of variables depending on metres climbed, modes used, rider weight and even things like changing the tyres from stock! but via the Mission Control app you'll be able to get rides of 2-5 hours.
There is that! But more trails are being built to ride bikes currently, with less chances of being taken out by a motorist when ripping on a BMW GS. Which would be a tonne of fun though.
Love the dog chasing!

“The SL 1 motor was quite” 😂😂😂 this is by far a understatement… I owned a levo SL and Kenevo SL an I hated that laud zzzzeeeeee every ride I did
Nice review 👍
Thanks!

Looks like non-branded on the parts list now
@@Australianmountainbike your confirmation is very much appreciated! absolutely love the quality of this channel.

ive rode one of these rides amazing, i will now wait till its drops down to 4k
One of my riding buddies is also waiting for an updated Kenevo SL 👍, I would think it is anytime soon.

@patton1977 I'm 5ft 10 but the s3 felt to small
I was looking at this bike as an option but the Trek Fuel EXE 9.5 in the UK is selling for £3995 at moment which is a steal.

forget the bike, I want to see more of the trail pup in action...
We get that a lot!
Agreed!
Or a video about the trail-Viz!
The Motor is made by Specialized? How can you say that!?
S4, for reference how tall are you?
Ryan is 178cm
A real life example of battery range would be good ,

nice bike, though I think for the money, I'd prefer a GS by BMW...
