From another forum there could be quite a few things coming from Spesh on 24th both motorised and non motorised. I'm interested to see this light Levo. My preference would be a new front triangle with a fixed slim 600wh battery. I think it's interesting that the removable 600wh battery never really materialised after launch and I wonder if it...

Rumors point to the 18th being a firmware launch for the Gen 4 Levo. MOAR HRSPRS. As for the 24th, the grape vine is whispering about a lighter weight Levo. Same motor and batter, lighter part spec, revised kinematic, travel, and frame for a bit more lively ride.

I been thinking about his for a while. I think they would be stupid to drop such a well known product name/line but at the same time I don't think they see a huge market for that type of bike. My thoughts are they will most likely repurpose the Enduro name at some point for a line of long travel...

This bike is 18.1kg in a size L. The HPR60 is only 800g heavier so it would still be sub 20kg with the HPR60 (if sticking with the 290wh battery). It would probably still be sub 20kg with the 360wh battery too. To me for the sake of 800g it would have made more sense to spec the HPR60.

What does the 360wh TQ battery weigh? Would be a better comparison. I don't know why they went with the HPR40 over the HPR60. Makes no sense to me. Pretty sure the 290wh battery is compatible with the HPR60 also.

Is there anything at all out there regarding Specialized releasing a new Enduro? It almost feels forgotten about, which is quite strange for what was traditionally one of their biggest models.

The image suggests it's still Shimano. I'm not sure the Bosch gen 5 system lends itself to making a quasi SL version the same way the Shimano system does. What is interesting it that it looks like it has an electronic dropper power directly from the bikes main battery which is cool.

But what happens to the NA entity if the European (and main) entity closes down? It's originally a German company so I assume that means that the European entity was the one responsible for designing and manufacturing the bikes. I assume all the manufacturing contracts, IP, parts supply deals, trademarks, etc. are all tied to that entity. Are YT going...

Not sure if they have just forgotten to tell PB to not run that ad or what but they should postpone the launch until they offer some sort of update on the future of the brand and what they are doing for all the European customers who have had money taken for orders they seemingly cannot deliver or refund.

Seems clearly laid out in the article to me. Pinion MGU: 4.1kg Owuru MGU: 3.9kg Bosch Gen 5 motor + GX T-type drivetrain: 2.8kg + 1.3kg (4.1kg in total i.e. 200g more than the Owuru). I think what they are trying to say is that there isn't really a weight penalty to using an MGU when you factor in the...

That's a Bosch Kiox 400C display: Front motor mount bolt is also typically Bosch (see Vala or Bullit), and that downtube size is also way too big for it to be DJI, their 800Wh battery is a lot slimmer (see AmFlow).

I mean, would you prefer manufactures only offered premium builds and left nothing for entry level consumer? Manufactures understandably don't want to offer two material options for all the frames they produce. RS Select/Fox Performance level suspension and GX/SLX is fine for a massive amount of the market and people can upgrade the base level kit as they go along.

Anyone got info on the alloy G4 Levo? I've heard it's potentially launching 27/05? Base build likely to be Marzocchi suspension, DB8 brakes and SRAM 70 drivetrain. Comp build with Fox suspension, Maven brakes and SRAM 70 drivetrain. Both coming with 840wh battery and the 101nm & 666W motor.

i‘m 99,9% confident that the podium USD fork won‘t replace the 38 and will just run besides it, probably even limited.
