are mudguards extra, and do you need a trailer for the padlocks and chains etc, unless you think when you bought it, you were really just renting it, until someone steals it.

I’ve got a 2019 Levo Carbon Comp …. And I’m thinking of giving it to the missus, so she can get back out and join me cycling again (we used to) … why, cos I’m a generous sort of guy 😂😂 and then I’ll buy this new one … ha ha (I don’t think she’ll see through that ?!) … same model … in white etc etc. a lot of money and I’m getting old so excitement opportunities are dwindling, but as the missus said today, about a rello (not me, but I’m allowed to use “man maths” to relate it to me) “you can’t take it with you” … so I might just pull the trigger … cos I can. Is it excessive? Damn right? Do I need it? Nah. Do I deserve it? Damn right. Shall I buy it ? Hmmm .. maybe. Let me rework the man maths .. 😁
Please stop about the price of this bike :(. We don´t do this by Ferrari or Rolls Roys or Rolex, do we? Don´t say it is too expensive if the real reason is you cannot afford it, different perspective.
So, being 5’6 1/2” and currently on a Medium 2019 Turbo Levo, I was reckoning S3 … and I’m neither looking for “extra slack” or “extra nimble” so figured S3. That make sense?
If I was a footballer earning stupid money I'd buy one in a flash. But I'm not so I'll stick to my cheap DIY kit conversions and keep dreaming lol. If I rode that around here id get mugged anyway!!
KTM 890 Adventure R for £11999 or £1000 more for this 🤣😂. You'd have to be mad. Not sure which is more unreliable though, KTM and Specialized seem to be exceptionally good at breaking down...
Nah, but if you don’t like black … or red … or other colours, and like white, then it’s perfect. My motorbike is white, my daily driver is white, my shit box (track car) is white … so this suits perfectly. I know, though different strokes blah blah blah and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But as I seem to like white (I took to it about 13 years ago when I couldn’t order my choice of daily driver config in other than white) then this ones calling my name … would have been good if the cheaper one was white ! Just saying 👍

Awesome bit of kit. Need deep pockets for that one 👍
Now the motor has been fixed, can it be retro fitted to a 2020 Levo?
How much was it?
Did he even mention that?
how tall are you and were you satisfied with the S3 size ?

I would like to know who comes up with these crazy prices!!!!
The warranty department trying to recover losses from previous models!
I thought that’s a 22 Levo right
13k I want to see a textreme layup. No paint. Makes my Bullit seem budget.
When is the follow up video coming??????

Sorry missed that one thanks guys 👍🏻
I wonder if it has a built in bread toaster
I don’t care you live once and biking is all about fun if you can afford it then get that’s my motto 😀

How tall are you
I'm 5'6" - Mark
@@singletrack I’m 5’8” with shortish legs so I guess safest to go with S3 as well also about your age

You can buy a KTM 450 competition moto cross bike for
£8,399,how can they justify these prices. 🤔
😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍
Would love to price brake down that bike... Google all the bits find the cheapest prices for the parts and your prob left with a 7k frame!!!!
There is a frame only option that includes the shock and cranks for £6.5k
@@singletrack could Prob build a similar spec'd bike with boutique parts for less than 13k then.... There's a comparison bike test story for you... 😁
@@singletrack and the TCU and motor. Don’t leave out the expensive bits.
Well presented but I can’t get interested by a bike so far out of reach that isn’t aspirational.
If I was a footballer earning stupid money I'd buy one in a flash.

But the KTM doesn't have pedals?
Mind you Charlie found a submarine on ebay for £8k... but you can't pedal that either and it's rubbish on technical trails
@@singletrack it's still insane money, and that from someone who bought a 3 grand bike back in '98 which would be about 6.5 now with inflation.
You are not wrong. It is a massive price for a bike.
I will have the KTM ebike
Sploosh
hope you let that female have a go on that bike.
It's not the levo that's stupid powerful.
The SL is a very weak motor.
Didn't put much effort into the paint job
