I think you have undersold the differences.... S-Works - full Carbon, 700wh battery top components Expert - carbon front triangle, Alu rear 700wh battery. High mid level components. Comp - all aluminium, 700wh battery. Mid level components Base - all aluminium, 500wh battery. Entry level components
James I know that you wash the bike with CT18, but what do you do after that? Just leave it to air dry or are you doing something else to make the paint pop like that? Bike looks awesome. I was going for a black one until I saw yours.
Hey! I wash it off with just some plan old water to remove any CT18 remnants, but after that, I let it air dry for a bit and then dry any loose water off with a rag and give it a bit of a 'shake'. I'll also WD40 the screwws and bolts - not sure if this is good or not, but I do it 😅
@@JamesGoodsell Just be careful not to get any WD40 in the charging compartment. I just watched a video from the UK where the Specialised dealer was explaining that the best maintenance to avoid battery connection issues is to blow out the charging compartment with compressed air after washing the bike (Do not use WD40 on the terminals any where as the silicone in the WD40 keeps the area damp). I was just curious as to what frame size you have. I thought I would be a medium, but I have only been able to test a large. Having said that though, the large doesn’t feel too big. I’m 177cm.
Thanks for the great comparison. I think the 2021 comp and s-works come standard with 700w batteries while the base model Levo comes with a The 500w battery.
James Goodsell All good. I’ll look forward to your future ride reviews. I have my 2021 Levo (base) on back order. Hard to find new ones in Yellow right now. But worth the wait. Take care and good riding.

Is there any difference between 2021 and 2022.

I've got a Large and it feels perfect geometry wise for me - I'm 183cm, so slightly taller

Oh, it does too! Thanks for pulling me up there - I need it! 😅

Ooooh, the yellow looks superb! I bet you can't wait! Happy trails!
700wh in comp and above!? 500wh in the base level
