Gen 3 Levo is definitely one of the best (if not the best) emtb out there. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a solid, reliable ebike that won't break the bank

[@frankiesemtb]

Agreed!

[@marklopez5267]

Gen 3 Levo is an amazing all around eMTB. Does everything really well. Climbing, descending down steeps, jumping, all that! Great bike and an even better review! Keep up the great work, Frankie! Hope we get to ride again soon brotha. Cheers!

[@frankiesemtb]

Great all around bike! let’s catch a ride soon brother!

[@b.st.347]

Just got 2023 levo comp alloy. Modern e-bikes are amazing. I can live with both Fox shocks after coming off of a 32 QR on 26”. Did upgrade the damper and damper adjustment knob on the Float X. Great deal at Upway and the Mastermind tcu takes me back to my Cateye cadence days! Cadence seems like a key to motor performance and battery life.

[@frankiesemtb]

Major leap coming from 26”! Congrats!

[@benitezjosem30]

I've had the same bike for over a year and I haven't had any problems so far. I broke the hub on the rear wheel and Specialized didn't have it in stock. The bike shop gave me a credit for a new wheel. In general, I am very happy with my Stumpjumper.

[@frankiesemtb]

Nice!

[@michael48742]

Love the channel. I sold my ripley and bought the comp carbon version paid 6700. No aluminums in stock unfortunately. I love the bike. So far Hayes dominion A4 (I’m 230 so needed it), fox 38 on the front, carbon bars, cascade link, and probably rockshok vivid on the back. I think I’m pushing the weight limit for coil but would love coil. Absolutely love the bike…….i don’t know how you couldn’t it’s so comfortable in any situation.

[@frankiesemtb]

Thank you! Indeed a great bike to own I think that Rockshox vivd will transform your bike into another level! been loving it so far!

[@michael48742]

Cascade link long travel with rockshok vivid coil 650lb spring (20% off on coil) is what I ended up. That bike literally rides better than my tundra. You weren’t kidding on how much of an effect changing out that rear shock would have for a 230lb guy! I’m literally blown away!

[@ralva2779]

Levo gen 3 is a great bike and like you my breaking point was the big discount at about 25% 😮 😂 only upgraded to Cushcore ,tried some maxxis tires , sram t-type and reverb for the trails. 🤘🏽😎

[@frankiesemtb]

Nice upgrades!

[@bitet1]

Have one carbon s3 size I'm 180 I'm in love 🎉

[@thim8009]

I did an overhaul on mine. I installed a cascade link, vivid ultimate and 170mm zeb ultimate. Haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

[@frankiesemtb]

Oh man! Killer upgrades! I’m sure it’s gonna feel really good

[@carterschichtel9678]

Local shop had a scratch and dent demo levo expert for 4k. Talked my dad into buying it lol. Great feeling bike and the power is awesome

[@sety409]

Expert?!? What a deal.

[@carterschichtel9678]

@@sety409 It’s been ridden but still a great deal for the spec.

[@frankiesemtb]

That’s a good deal! Congrats!

[@carterschichtel9678]

@@frankiesemtb Hell yeah he loves it!

[@MikeO-dr7hn]

Great video; great bike. I bought mine after seeing your vid at the end of last year and during the big sale. Not for the important stuff! Did yours come with the front fender? If not, is that the Fox fender or ?

[@frankiesemtb]

That is awesome! Hope you are enjoying yours! The fender is just one of those zip tie plastic cutouts.

[@TheAngryHusky]

I have a comp Alloy S3 and a comp carbon S2. I actually prefer the ride of the S3 alloy better than the S2 carbon. I'm 5'9 for reference. I have had 1 motor failure on the S2 and it was replaced under warranty. Other than that, no issues other than normal drivetrain stuff.

[@frankiesemtb]

S3 is perfect size for me! Overall just a great bike!

[@robhaskins3068]

If you think the Gen3 levo is quiet you should experience the 2018 brose 1.3 aluminium motor .Absolutely the Quietest, smoothest most natural feeling power delivery ever. Simply get one rebuilt and upgraded by ebike motor centre including Quad ring crank seals, add 170mmFox factory forks,buy a extra 500wh battery and run it as a mullet with a Rohloff hub and you will have a great bike without blowing a fortune on a new one that is not as pleasant to ride. E=Mtb²

[@frankiesemtb]

I would love to try the older models.. i was Still on a regular Pedal bike back in 2018

[@robhaskins3068]

@@frankiesemtb Brose 1.3 2018 is a 90Nm motor exactly the same internals as latest motors but the Aluminium casing is much thicker and stiffer than the newer magnesium motors and a hell of a lot quieter ..even smoother and quieter than my TrekEXe. It also has the refined 7.11 firmware that has not been fiddled with to stop the newer ones stripping belts and gives a more natural feeling. Silence is golden . "It's you but younger and faster".Also I am fitting a 9point8 Slacker 1.6 ⁰ steerer tube insert to achieve a 63⁰ head angle and increase wheel base .170mm forks and 29in front wheel also helps lift ,Slacken and lengthening the 2018 carbon frame E=Mtb²

[@spawnrcandbikes]

hows power compared to bosch cx turbo mode? levo got more uphill power?

[@frankiesemtb]

They are so very close. Bosch has a bigger initial kick. But the brose feels a bit more natural

[@spawnrcandbikes]

@@frankiesemtb whats weight of that bike?

[@stepan.furman]

Bearing washers? The don't cover bearing and it dries out in 4 months if you ride in summer and rusted in 2 month if you ride in wet...

[@NJDive]

What stand are you using? I was having a hard time finding one for the 2.6" wheel that didn't seem to be a really crazy price. Is that one made for a 2.4" or less and you are just making it work? Thanks for the review. Loving my new Levo as well.

[@frankiesemtb]

this stand won't work well with a 2.6.. i'm running 2.5 and it's barley getting the tires in. i only use this stand because it's easier for me bring around for videos. This is a rockbros stand found on amazon: amzn.to/3XqpJWL

[@robg3836]

Did u not try out the different stem cup steerer adaptors try it slacker

[@frankiesemtb]

I will give it a go!

[@robg3836]

Look forward to that video 👍

[@TooBig_MTB]

How about the YT decoy core 4?

[@NJDive]

Really nice bike! I did a test ride on one and was ready to buy when they were on sale, but they were out of inventory and wouldn't allow me to order it at the sale price... Then I test rode the Comp Carbon and I was sold. These are really sweet bikes!

[@Robdorange]

Just killed the motor. 4 months over the 2 year warranty. 🤨

[@Chris-sf2cp]

Sounds like the bike isn’t that special without all the upgrades.

[@frankiesemtb]

The specs on the Comp isn't the best and i'm being honest! but 3 essentials of the levo, the amount of adjustability in Geometry, motor and battery. these 3 are irreplaceable and top notch.

[@topchoice1621]

@@frankiesemtbid like to see more emtb channels talk about the maintenance on ebikes being there’s more wear and tear on them

[@frankiesemtb]
