This is the shorter-travel, lighter, more playful version of the Levo Gen 4:

130mm rear / 140mm front

Full 29er

5+ lbs lighter

Same motor, same 840Wh battery

Now with updated 850W firmware

But here’s the big question:

👉 Is it actually faster?
👉 Can it beat the Gen 4 Levo on the uphill time trial?
👉 Can it beat the Amplow 850W?
👉 And how light can you realistically get it?

In this video I break down:

• Where the 5 lbs were saved
• Frame changes (540g reduction)
• Fox 36 SL vs 38
• Motive brakes vs Maven
• Purgatory T9/T7 tire setup
• 200/200 rotors
• One-piece cockpit
• Geometry tweaks (65° head angle, adjustable stays & BB)
• 600Wh battery option
• Extender-only 40lb setup
• Uphill time trials (full power + extender only)
• Ride feel vs full Levo
• Who this bike is really for
• Pros and cons
• Running battery connection fix
• New firmware features (850W, walk modes, MicroTune 0)

⚖ Weight Breakdown

S-Works Levo Gen 4: ~51.5 lbs
S-Works Levo Rally: ~46.5 lbs

With 600Wh battery: ~43 lbs
Extender only: ~40.5 lbs

That’s serious range flexibility for a full-power bike.
