Join us for a chat over a few key areas: the app, suspension, electrical integration and what we would like to modify next.

    Great Vid, thanks for posting Love the 29er, this bike has been designed from the ground up with integration you don’t see on other ebikes. The all round package is outstanding.

    I have this exact bike for the last 5 months, and I love it. I put on a set of DT Swiss HX1501 wheels (which are awesome) and sold the originals. The dropper post is just OK, but with that big 34.9mm diameter I’m just hoping Fox makes the Transfer Post sometime this year in that size.

    Nice review. I've had my 2019 Levo Expert for 4 months and put on 800+ miles!I have lots of videos on it ( #LovingLevo ). I love this bike. It is so dialed out of the box. Expensive (and poor value for some components), but worth every penny for its actual performance and integration! I hate the seat post and seat is so-so, but have lived just fine with everything else. I love the 700Whr battery-- it is a perfect size to do most ever any ride I want without range anxiety. The bike even crawls thru overgrown brushy areas if need be.

    yeah, i would go for the comp carbon, or the s-works instead, they also look better. i have the later, the brakes are awesome, (SRAM RSC), why was it necessary to replace the Code R of the expert ? i agree about the dropper post, you really have to think in advance when you need it, it won't drop if you are too far forward, i would love to have the fox to go with my fork.

    THX for the well thought out comments. I am still trying to decide between Levo or Kenevo! Have you got any input as to why I would choose one to the other?

    Certainly! Bigger, rougher descents and more technical trails would be more suited to the longer-travel Kenevo. The Levo is more balanced for all-around trail riding.

    I wondered if you were going to comment that the OEM spec is under-forked; yup. I reckon It actually looks too noodly when static, and it seems your riding has verified! Would a 150mm Fox 36 have been a good replacement?
