For this bike, I don't know yet. I'm running stock Specialized Purgatory 27.5x3.0. I feel these are not best for snow. Knobs could be bigger and have more space between them as treads filled with snow quite easily as you can see from pics. I'm tempted to try the Maxxis High Roller II at least in...

Perfect winter riding conditions on Sunday. No wind, -5C, very little ice. Bike worked well again. In cold weather suspension stiffens up, but not completely. SRAM Guide R brakes surprised me. Unlike Shimano brakes I have on other bikes these were not affected by cold at all. I guess it's...

I've always had a soft spot for Felt Bruhaul. I'd love to get one for commuting and riding around town and of course for hauling brew.

I fall in the middle. I had a B17, my first and last Brooks. While it was comfy enough, it did not offer anything over a modern, synthetic material saddle. The Brooks required some maintenance and would sag when wet. Not really suitable for year round commuting or mountain biking. I now have...

Another single track commute. It was beautiful, but oh so wet. I got soaked.

I have not seen a 720Wh battery mentioned for Levos. For other brands using Brose there are 720Wh (BH, maybe Rotwild).

Do you know if Bosch provides actual repair training? Or is it just diagnosis, software updates and replacement process?

What are the dealers trained to do with out-of-warranty motors? If my suspension or other components break, I'm sure my local shop can fix them and I'm happy to pay for labour and parts. But if the motor breaks? I'm genuinely interested as my KTM is now out of warranty and the motor has already...

Bump this thread. Here's my "new" Levo Comp 2017. I bought it second had, but it had only 222km on the clock so basically it was like new. After couple of rides here are my thoughts. It rides and pedals great. So good that I can live with the quirks the bike has. It's size XL and fits me...

I had a second proper ride on my Specialized Turbo Levo Comp. Off to the trails, surprisingly there was some snow left from the first snow we got couple of weeks ago. +8C and overcast result in dull photos. Some rocky descent. The suspension works great on the Levo. A rare treat here...

I have tried a boat load of tools and programs. I've been using this combo for a long time now: GPSies for creating, editing or uploading GPX tracks. For navigation I use an Android phone with Osmand. I can download tracks from the GPSies web site directly into Osmand. Great stuff.

Couple of boring night ride shots. It's getting chilly, -1C. I was using my smaller Lezyne Microdrive 450XL light and without helmet light it was quite a challenge. But the main reason I posted, look what I got. A Specialized Turbo Levo Comp 2017. The bike has its own quirks, but I just love...

ISIS crank arms with M15 bolts. Should be available pretty much everywhere. You will need a crank puller too.

Hello and welcome/tervetuloa! Oulu is the winter cycling capital of the world, or at least Finland :-D Keep your hands, head and feet warm. It takes trial and error to find out what suits you in the cold. It's tricky not to freeze or over heat when riding during the winter. I've noticed ~30%...

Cool bike, I like it. Best of the new KTMs in my opinion.
