I don't even bother with PB anymore. Loam provides the best reviews. This channel deserves so many more subs.

[NAVY_BROS]

Watched 3 reviews so far and this one for sure has the details and more objective (with of course some subjective) than the others. Love the content!

[danmccabe]

As you can run up to a 180 fork, it would be better if they made a factory link (warranty approved) to run a bigger shock as an option.

You guys do the best job in all of cycling!

I purchased my Spesh Turbo Levo Pro mainly based on feedback from Loam Wolf's crew. It's a definitely a purchase I haven't regretted. I really like the improvements on this Gen 4 Levo, thanks for the review!

The 840 wh battery should have been modular - 2 parts, 560 + 280 wh, both stacking inside the downtube. So you can choose what size to use every day without having to buy 2 batteries. 90% of the time I would use only 560wh to save weight.

I shall wait for that longer travel version, the Spesialized guys talked about briefly

Looking forward to the long term review. It was u ghys that convinced me to buy the gen 3 levo & i absolutely love it. Will be a while before im lloking to buy a new bike though

[jeremygibb]

As a gen3 Levo owner the new bike looks sweet and looks to be keeping to the Levo roots with an already great platform. Is it worth the cost? No…another commented on the resale which is horrible and not worth the investment even for the comp version.
I’ll be keeping mine maybe do a suspension upgrade and basically have the same bike. Specialized you need to be more out the box these days to keep up with this market!

Looking forward to the ebike shoot out this year!

[mtbgeekrob]

Curious what trail in Bend you are testing on? Looks like a good one!

[hassebir]

Only full power for the dentist version - What a letdown - my 2020 levo have been awesome and Spez have the best customer service DJI here i come :D

[LoamerMTB]

Specialized please bring a full fat
Kenevo back with a dual crown and a coil that doesn’t get broken by rear linkage. Mullet. 🔥🤘🏻

Thinking the same as one of the commenters and Ari 2.0. It took Cascade to actually show Specialized how you set up a suspension, go figure. The Timp is the way to go since you can buy the frame only. Frames ship easily so find a family member in a non tax state and have them forward it to you. Here in California, the lowest carbon will come in at 9k with tax and subpar part, and the SWorks comes to 14, 750.00.. Ebikes do not have great resale, and the market it changing waaaay to quickly to wonder about resale. Just get a bike and beat it to tar, have fun and move on. Once Bosch takes their game to over 100nm then it's a moot point, plus I've seen the photos of the new screen, which should be wireless and full color. So for just over 5k, you can actually build up a pretty sweet bike base The Timp has more travel, and heck, someone will figure a good way to soften the initial stroke for climbing to make that a moot point. My deal, sell the S-Works frame for 2.5 or possibly 3k. then invest another 3000 into the Timp and you have a really capable bike. Btw, wait a bit for the new screen and nm upgrade.

[tonygiancoli]

would love to see a Comp Carbon review. MOST of us aren't jumping to spend $13k-$15k or more for the S Works.
Does 101nm move the needle, especially with rumored torque upgrades coming to Bosch Gen 5?

[phasere]

Awesome review! Gen 3 owner who wants a 40ish lb full power bike. Kinda glad this isn’t it so I’m not tempted to upgrade. Resale value on a gen 3 is now about as much as a burger. 🍔

[APOCLAG]

It is the same geometry as Gen 3, but heavier.
Motor improved though. Gen 4 is about to have a baby, very fat belly and wide motor. If you have a G3, don't change for this one.

[federaldelii]

I would expect an electronically managed suspension and automatic transmission from this new version Levo. 👌🏻

[stuartthomasson]

Had to go with 666 watt peak power? Sounds Evil! 😈

[snowdosker]

We need trailforks maps in the screen! For navigation purpose

[thim]

I had a feeling the gen 4 was being announced today. Man, that looks sweet.
