All-New Levo 4 EVO
Specialized Levo 4 EVO This is electric enduro The Specialized Levo 4 EVO is a new addition to the Levo e-MTB family, designed with increased travel and a modular battery system. Increasing from 160/150mm on all previous Levo 4 models, the Levo 4 EVO has 180/170mm of suspension travel in the front and rear. Longer travel means riders have more ability to navigate rough terrain on descents, and increased absorption on impact to decrease rider fatigue. The Levo 4 EVO is ideal for e-MTB enduro riders who like to go big on steep, technical descents. Shop Levo 4 Evo Some exciting features of the Levo 4 EVO’s electrical system come from the thermal management in the smart charger, which is designed to preserve long term battery health. In addition, the easy to open downtube Wattage Cottage makes swapping the modular battery very simple. That means riders can choose which battery to insert, and go big on longer rides or stay lighter for a more nimble performance. Even though the Levo 4 EVO comes in at 24.12 kg, it is designed to maintain predictability and control with burly SuperNatural power.

All New Cervelo Caledonia
New Cervelo Caledonia The bike for the modern road rider Caledonia is a high-performance road bike with endurance-oriented geometry that delivers everything you'd expect from a Cervelo. It's designed for all-season riders, fondo racers, and those who've just been bitten by the cycling bug. Clean aerodynamic lines, hidden cables, and a highly-tuned carbon fiber layup add up to a bike that's fast enough for a spirited group ride, comfortable enough for all-day efforts, and looks right at home at every coffee stop. What's been updated? New cockpit and cable routingUnlike the Caledonia-5's fully internal system, the Caledonia offers mechanic-friendly cable and hose routing that supports both fully-integrated setups and standard semi-external routing. Ride all-day geometryWith a 1013mm wheelbase, 415mm chainstays, and 72-degree head tube angle, the Caledonia delivers stable and predictable handling suitable for both casual riders and those hunting fondo and brevet glory. They have also updated the trail figure to optimize the geometry for 32mm wide tires. Threaded bottom bracketThe T47a threaded bottom bracket simplifies service for home mechanics, and ensures long-term performance. Room for big tires, plus fender mounts Run up to 36mm tires or 34mm tires with fenders. On a big ride, you'll encounter roads that are less than maintained. The Caledonia's 36mm tire clearance allows you to mount up road-smoothing, comfortable rubber that makes a big difference when the odometer hits triple digits. And for the year-round, all-weather pedalers, Caledonia comes with fender mounts that make it easy to add full-coverage fenders.
