2019 Turbo Levo

And a Stumpjumper to boot. I haven’t been on my dirt bike for a month, too fun!

On my second motor now. The first was replaced within warranty after 2000 k’s. Got another 2 years warranty from now. Mystery E020 errors, and nothing to do with the manual explanation, even Shimano won’t tell me what went wrong. Awesome bike all the same.

Cool seeing everyone's bikes. That is for sure something I want to get into at some point. Running the standard Stumpjumper right now, but after riding the Turbo Levo, I became a fan. A couple of my friends are running them in GNCC, so I'd like to maybe get into that, since they have a class.

Solid motorbikes. Just imagine how much better it feels when you get to the top of the mountain on your own power. Tongue

I've yet to see a single e-MTB rider show up for trail work days here in PA, yet they all want trail access. Huh

The only people who hate on e-bikes are the guys who never rode one. Ive seen guys 100% against them, then ride one and come back smiling ear to ear. These bikes are an absolute blast, sick bikes you guys have here, might be my next investment.

Agree. As soon as I can afford one I’ll own one. Game changer IMO. Hope to find a clean used one at a discount.

This might sound stupid, but 1 concern I have is making the investment (which is pretty pricey) and then having the bike become outdated rather quickly. I feel like as these bikes become popular, the tech may advance rather rapidly. To me, that is a lot of money to drop only to have a much better version come out soon after. Not the end of the world, but I still think it would be frustrating.

I just scored Specialized S Works Turbo Levo. The guy what I got it from put close to $14000 K in to the bike. Ohlins shock , Fox Factory 36 fork , Hope brakes , carbon wheels and the list goes on. Bike is so sick.Last Sunday I took it Sky park and I am totally in love with it . I can’t wait to ride it again.

If anyone else has anything non-moto, vintage, tech help, For Sale, etc., just dump it in the main category. Thanks.

Wrong.

I've demo'd Yamaha's version of the e-motorbike at Highpoint this year, and hopped on the specialized Levo a few months later.

The amount of power those bikes put out is ridiculous and only serve to insulate the rider from any potential challenge they may experience on the trail.

Depends on your intentions. Some people enjoy mountain biking just to go fast everywhere and not waste energy on the climbs. Cant please everyone.

Close, but that is not the new Kenevo, this is just the old Kenevo with a dual crown fork.

This is the new Kenevo

I have 3500 miles on my e-bike since April of this year. I'm over 60 and mostly ride on asphalt, once in a while I swap to dirt tires and ride some downhill here in Vegas along with gravel and dirt roads. Brand new was $1675 out the door. The Yamaha powerplant is awesome, and I feel 30 younger Smile

When you get home from riding your E Mountain Bike
If you don't believe that you can get a work out on an ebike then you must agree that MX isn't a work out because you just sit there are twist the throttle.


I have a Turbo Levo, and my other cheater bike (2018 YZ450F) has 58HP and no pedals but 12 minutes (4 laps) around Millville kicks my ass.
