Heya so I've had a 2020 Turbo Levo Comp for a week or so. It replaced the 2017 Comp I've been using for 'work' (ebike tours, rentals, commuting down through South Hobart trails to work).
I've done about 4000km on the old Levo, then a few hundred km on the 2019 Comp. Compared to the 2019 model, the 2020 comes with the 700wh battery and the Lyrik Select fork plus a couple of other changes.
Re wheel setup, back to back over a lot of km I much preferred the ride of the 2017 fitted with 27.5 wide rims and Black Diamond 2.8 Butchers vs the narrower 29er rims and 2.6 tires on the 2019. To double check on the newer Levo's I put my 27.5 wheelset on the 2019 Levo - the only negative was less pedal clearance (loose 10-15mm). So with the new 2020 bike I swapped it over to 27.5 running Butcher 2.8's. To help with clearance I'm running 150mm cranks.
The fork has taken a bit of setting up, but feeling good now with 4 tokens. Might upgrade the charger and maybe the airshaft down the track. Just about to start tuning the rear shock.
All up it's a slick machine! Between the 2.1 motor and 700wh battery the range in Turbo mode is great. I can fit in a big trail ride to and from work, then ride my regular MTB on days off.
If anyone is down Tassie way and would like to rent a 2020 Levo, where I work (rollcycles.com.au) will have 16 in total within the next couple of days - covering all sizes, spread between our Launceston and Hobart stores.
Cheers
Pete
