I think a vast majority of reviewers and owners agree the small internal battery is the biggest disadvantage for the gen 2 levo SL. Even a 360WH battery would've been ok-ish. Not sure what spesh was thinking here increasing power and not increasing battery capacity. However the software and hardware integration and range extender kind of makes up for it I guess. It's not the best looking bike in this group but the agile playfulness, adjustable geo, and many colors available is what made me go with the Gen 2 Levo SL. I have the Carbon Comp spec in size S3 and it weighs 41lbs with pedals and somewhat burly continental tylenol enduro tires.

I get out og mine Levo Sl2 more than 1300m of vertical climbing in 18km. On top I had 15% of battery left. Riding mostly on eco/trail…

I ride in Eco mode and I get 2x the climbing these guys do. I'm lighter, and I upgraded to some lighter components.

I am really torn between the heckler sl and the levo sl expert. How Do you guys think about it and how is the lyrik compared to the 36?

Only 15kms... Seems so little.. Is this on 100% power assist?
