    Turbo Levo Brose Motor Problem help...

    I've not had any problems with mine, but have just had the battery and motor software updates done. Speaking with the dealer, Specialized have issued 'heat pads' for dealers to fit which require the motor to be opened up. I'm unsure specifically how they work but they essentially disappate...

    Turbo Levo Brose Motor Problem help...

    No real problems with mine... but I've not been on it for a few months due to house move and new baby! I understand there is something you can get your dealer to fit to more effectively dissipate the heat from the motor, in case it's a heat build up causing the issues. However, those heat...

    e-Fatbikes

    I ended up going 'semi fat'. :) I have a Specialized Turbo Levo hardtail with 3" plus size tyres which I think is the right balance for the riding I do. I love the look of your FatSix though and I'm sure it will be great fun!

    New Bike - Specialized Turbo Levo

    Had my first chain drop today. :( It was on a fast, steep, very rocky descent and hasn't happened before on that stretch with the Levo but then it never happened with my Cube. Unsure whether it's due the the FS Cube soaking up more of the bumps than the HT Levo, the XX1 on the Cube having a...

    New Bike - Specialized Turbo Levo

    Maybe I was a little harsh at first with my battery comments. I road cycled (boooo!) around 15 miles along relatively flat roads on Sunday to meet some friends and when I arrived I had used exactly 10% of the battery. That was using the 15% assist setting (see complex explanation above) which...

    Thanks, I didn't realise they did a 120mm version. I did know they are bloody expensive. Meant to be very good though, regardless of the susceptibility to getting covered in muck...

    I thought that was an XC fork? Weird to have an XC fork on full suspension bike isn't it?

    2016 haibike all mountain RX for sale

    For what it's worth, I'm a similar height and inside leg to you... and I wouldn't dream of a 50cm. I hope you can get comfortable with your setting adjustments as I think 46cm is the right size. Move the saddle as far back on the rails as the indicator marks will allow you to, if you've not...

    new Yamaha pwx motor

    Is it really only me that likes the placement of the computer? It seems a better option that the Nyon, Intuvia, etc. that sit on but in front of the bars which is more susceptible to damage in a scenario where the bike and I unexpectedly part company. I have knocked bar mounted computers going...

    Double pinion kit for bosch emtb

    Cheers SW. I didn't need to touch the XX1 in the 12 months I had the Cube, although the bike was properly cleaned after each ride. I'm hoping the GX will be similarly maintenance free given that the Levo will also be properly cleaned after each ride...

    Double pinion kit for bosch emtb

    I'm surprised by that. I had an XX1 derailleur on my Cube and it was absolutely flawless - really slick, precise, never missed a gear, etc. I'll be interested to see how the lower spec GX performs on my Levo.

    Out of interest, what is it you don't like about SRAM?

    new 2017 bike pics

    I missed this post of yours. I've recently bought the Levo 6Fattie HT... and I absolutely love the plus size tyres. There are only a few models in 2016 from any of the manufacturers which come in plus size, but I'm pretty confident there will be many more in the 2017 offerings. The tyres...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Someone's eagle eyed aren't they! Yes, completely agree. I don't own a shock pump so I asked the shop I bought the bike from to leave it on the high side so I could adjust downwards. I've already let a little out after today's ride and I'll get out in the week to fine tune it. I ran the plus...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Thought I'd be riding in the rain today, but I'm pleased to say it cleared up for my afternoon ride. Very pleased indeed with the Levo - it felt incredibly solid and is so well balanced, and I'm definitely a plus size tyre convert. Battery performance was also excellent: Distance: 23 miles...
