All

I talked to a guy who works for a Trek dealer. He confirmed the TQ120 is coming, and that they've got a novel approach to battery capacity with it. Sounds really interesting.

I’m glad we’re back to talking about e-bikes here, instead of how purifying going back to the regular bike felt. Take your baptism elsewhere.

In 2018/2019, six of us bought Levos/Kenevos. We were all existing mountain bikers since the late 90s, we hardly used turbo because of range, none of us were on the heavier side, and we knew how to change gears. All motors failed.

It may well be the most droolworthy emtb frame. That rear triangle and the headtube junction (without the cutout) are so beautiful! Is it full carbon? Because there are those 2 bolted elements in the rear triangle (chainstay link and chainstay dropouts). PS. I also hope that they will opt for 170-180mm rear travel.

If they already have a way above average finished product (avinox mg), while they released the m2s a few months back, why couldn't it be that they also have semi solid state batteries already? By the way, that mondraker frame looks damn nice!!!

I don’t think Specialized has much margin to make their bikes more affordable compared to smaller companies that have less overhead.

No, the 3.1 is still a Brose manufactured unit. It sounds like (rumour) Specialized did initially approach Mahle for them Levo 4 but it didn't work out and they went back to Brose.

would it fit? : )

Ok as someone who hauls a backpack full of collapsible tools + sawzaw for trail work days I actually kinda like the concept of the Levo X. I've looked at the Dakine builder pack you can put a chainsaw in, but would much rather just mount it to the bike instead. I guess props to Specialized for bringing regular features that average people would want instead of what the industry usually does which is pander to us nerds? (The sell one bike to 10 people rather than 10 bikes to one person concept)

I know there's going to be a Bosch update to let you adjust how much run-on each mode has. That Alex Bike Tester guy was showing a beta version of it, and I thought he said that was coming in July. Not sure what all is going to be in this June announcement, sounds bigger than just a little update.

I had heard a rumor that they were going to add some sort of slider bar to the app for the end user to adjust the motor cutoff speed, or class, presumably to compete with Spz and Avinox bikes that can be switched to Class 3 by the user. The guy said his local dealer had seen the beta verson or something like that at a dealer event. On the one hand, I doubt it, as it could mean Bosch kind of diverging from their "high road" stance on regs, and they're still holding firm on 750w max (not just...

External cable routing! heck yeah
