    I came pretty close to buying a Cube. Did you like yours? But I found this exact model of Trek yesterday in my size for $4K. Couldn't pass it up.

    One of my main concerns after looking at the Levo bikes was the rims. Despite current mark downs they are still too expensive for midland/lesser quality parts. Thank you for the video!

    Do you have any comments on the performance of the SRAM DB8 brakes? You did mention that for now you weren't considering an upgrade on them. Reason I am asking is twofold. Original specs on the current Rail 7 Gen 2 call for Shimano 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes, with a M6100 lever and M6120 calipers Local Trek dealer has a 2023 Trek Rail 7 Gen 2 in my size spec'd with the SRAM DB8 brakes. They are offering one hell of a sweet deal on this bike at $3800.00. Thats even lower then the current advertised Trek website price of $4299,99, Original MSRP on it was $6649.99 Should I just take it as it is or ask them to put on the original Shimano spec'd Shimano brakes if available?

    Man I tell you if you are a light rider you should be ok with just swapping out for better pads. For me they weren’t strong enough and felt too mushy, if that makes sense. Honestly for the price you getting the bike for just swap them for some code r brakes and door look back lol

  • @ebikesandthings

    The token just reduces the air chamber so refuses how much air you can put in, you will definitely be happy with a Levo.

    2 servicing dealers in my town so it comes down to the rail and the levo. Mullet concerns me as I love my XC 29'er, although in the parking lot I didn't notice anything super negative with the 27.5 trailing. Not having a way to test them on a real trail near me is my hang up on spending $5-6k+. Appreciate your video and comparison!

    Great Bike. Last summer my bike shop let me and my wife Demo the Turbo Levo for the day. I came back the next day and ordered 2 Turbo Levo experts. The list is $10,000 but since I bought 2 I got a deal for about $8k each. But in the past year, I haven't regretted any of it. I've been riding for 30+ years and I have had 100s of bikes, and ridden 1000s of miles. I think this E-bike has been some of the most fun I've ever had on a bike. I used to ride a lot of lift serviced bike parks in the summer on DH bikes but I've only been twice this summer. I've worked for Specialized dealers and I've owned many Specialized bikes. Around 2018 I got fed up with Specialized, mostly because of their business practices. Working at a bike shop I got to see some messed up stuff. I swore I would never buy another Specialized again. Then I started researching E-Bikes and for me, Specialized made the best one. Their software, the motor and of course the platform these bikes were built on are just unmatched. I am happy to say I am back on the Specialized train and loving it. I've made several upgrades including a new I9 wheelset, Hope brakes, OneUp carbon bars, Deity stem and Maxxis Tires. The next upgrade I'm doing is 155mm Hope cranks because of the pedal strikes. I'm constantly hitting my pedals. Not hard, but enough I can feel it. Taking 5mm off should help that considerably.

    Saw your vids about slapping a Fox X2 on the Rail, very cool. I have one as well, size large, and I'm also not a fan of the stock RS Deluxe Select+. According to TF Tuned, the X2 does fit, but if there's any flex of the frame, the shock will collide. Have you had any problems like that in riding the X2-equipped Rail?
