Agree with more travel. Really no reason not to make this a 6" bike, not like 1 or 2 pounds of weight matters in this application. The Rotwild and Haibike XDURO are more like it but the Big S seems to have taken the electronics integration to the next level.

Love it!!! Finally some non European company gets it. There was hate for suspension when it first came out, in fact there is hate for EVERY new mtb trend when it comes out. I don't get it why there are so many negative nancy's out there but either way it seems the companies are seeing through that rubbish and noticing there are tons of people that think progression is a good thing and just want to have fun. I would love to see a more aggressive bike in this category. If pedaling up is made easier, I'm willing to have...

I'm all for it. 20+ years of hard core MTB experience and 10+ years extreme enduro moto experience. No it's not 'pure' in the MTB/sado masochististic pedaling sense whatever the hell that means. And no I can't do a 100+ mile epic singletrack throttle twisting day on it. This is a different more accessible hybrid. I MTB 5-6 days a week, 500,000+ ft elevation climbing a year. Face it, the climb to descend ratio sucks. Spend 20+ minutes climbing for a 2-3 minute descent. I'd love to improve that fun ratio and this is a tool that can do it...

The article says it perfectly. "The Levo will allow you to go much further and higher". I love my XC Bike and I love my good XC rides with my XC friends. I see no reason for anyone to flame this bike. Might not be for everyone but if you care that much about what gets other people excited to ride and go explore, have fun, and smile then I probably wouldn't be riding with you anyway.

In Europe these aren't defined as mopeds! They are 'Pedalecs' and can be used anywhere you can use a bike. Pedal assistance only works up to 15mph, after that it you're pedalling by yourself. Which is fine, especially downhill, just like a normal bike! I've been using an eMTB for 6 months now and I've ridden more miles than I had in the last 3 years. Further, higher and harder. During that time there have been no problems with other riders. Over here we don't ride UP downhill singletrack, only fire trails or bridleways. And considering what a crowded island...

As a lifelong rider and avid mountain biker suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, I welcome this new technology. As my disease slowly takes away the one thing in this world that brings me the greatest pleasure, tech like this will keep me in the saddle and riding with my friends for many more years.

man, Lopez just keeps lockin' in the prime sponsors... he's on all the best stuff. He used to run crappy Fox gear, Fox Shox, GT bikes, Bell Helmets... Now he has Pearl Izumi, X-Fusion, Ibis, Novatec and Lazer. it's pretty obvious he's picking the best, and not just chasin' the Benjamins.

I've blown out more office chairs than I have adjustable seatposts! I guess that means I spend too much time at the office and too little time riding. Dammit.

Hell yeah! A-Rev looking as buttery smooth as ever. He's always been one of my favorite riders. Boosts so hard and just rides to have fun.

the first point you make is fantastic however the second is not wihtout its issues. SCB was the first I can recall to have posted up a vid (long-shock V10 test w/syndicate team) of a fully-wrapped company van on a local, illegal trail. The trail featured is no longer in existance due to blatant disrespect and over-shuttling from predominantly out-of-town...
