Swapped out UPZ liners for Intuition Pro Wraps. Came out of RC12 28-28.5, tried them for a few hours, weren't for me.

Yes, I use no battery when pedaling downhill, should have mentioned that. Motor assist is limited to 20mph, can go faster on downhills with motor off. Been over 40+mph on downhill pavement so far. As far as zero assist on an uphill, way too heavy, doable for small pitch but no fun. Levo Comp Medium (aluminum) comes in ~49 pounds. Was considering Comp SL but saw a really good vid comparing Comp and Comp SL which basically said that weight didn't matter for Comp and SL you wanted to get as light as possible (lighter SL versions are stupid expensive.)

Done 3 rides in past 24 hours. It's addictive. Had the same feelings for the past month. Gave up mountain biking about 10 years ago, too many injuries from single track riding. Decided in April as snow was melting and XC ski season was almost over (took up XC skiing when Mammoth closed on March 14th) that I needed to get back into MTBs. Was never gonna spend that kind of money. Get myself a nice hardtail for less than 3k. Did a bunch of research and kept coming across eMTB reviews. Talked to a few local guys and they were raving about eMTBs. Finally rented one (ended up going toward purchase) and I knew I was buying one within 10 minutes. Go places you could never get to with a regular mtb, go further, ride to trails instead of driving your car to trails. Still gonna mostly ride multi-track, maybe when I get some skills back I'll ride more technical stuff. Have hardly used Turbo mode, couple of times on 25 degree pitch, I call it Beast Mode. Otherwise, 85 percent of the time I'm in Eco mode, 14 percent in Trail mode, so I'm not using it as a shuttle for DHing. Twice the fun? Think so.

Pulled the trigger yesterday on Turbo Levo Comp. Got the last M in California it seems, none available anywhere. Amazing game changer. Rode over 3 hours yesterday and can't wait to get back on it this morning. Probably start riding twice a day now.

At Mammoth so plenty of climbs, plenty of trails, not interested in bike parks so not aware of any bans on the 100s of miles of trails around here. Money-wise the Levo isn't much more than Exceed or Lux when you go for high-end versions with XX1 drive trains. Wondering if it makes you lazy and just more stuff to break (also does Levo become obsolete in a few years.)

Been looking at mountain bikes, mostly XC (Canyon Exceed, Canyon Lux) but have been reading a lot about the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp lately. Was wondering if anyone has gone electric and what they think.

Got a pair last week. My UPZ boots are Mondo 28.5 and they easily fit. Plenty of room on platforms to go way bigger than 28.5

Definitely WCR. FLC wasn't available when they were using that logo. Also pre-metal board.
