Yes, it looks like a nice bike. I really like my SL and the new model fixes a few things that the old one was lacking. Making it quieter is a good thing and it's basically the same motor with some sound proofing and better sealing, so it should be as reliable as the old SL. Something that makes me wary of the Trek Fuel EXe, as it's just not proven yet.

The increased spec level is a big winner. Yes, the forks could be better but the Rhythms are a solid option

I’ve been reading reviews of this, it looks like full power and lighter weights are coming.

On Test | The new 2023 Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite combines 19kg weight with full-power motor

The 2023 Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite combines maximum power with minimum weight to create a curious take on the modern e-MTB.

Yeah, the sub 10k version is a tempting proposition given the specs.
They also reviewed the Liv version which is effectively the same bike

Looks like the motor is backwards compatible so this could just be the ticket for Kenevo SL owners. Specialized told me it didn't fit :D

Mahle SL 1.1 to SL 1.2 - What's Possible and What's Different ?

The SL 1.2 is out in the wild with the '23 Levo SL. From what we know so far, mountings and connections are all the same. It works with the existing battery and range extender (shorter 145mm instead of 160mm cable). The motor is slightly larger due to the two piece aluminium honeycomb casing...

I would thing that you would have to fit the whole electrical system, motor, TCU cables and possibly the battery. It would be nice if it's possible to keep your older SL going or to upgrade. I just can't see Specialized selling the individual parts separately and if they did then warranting them. :(

Update off mtbr. Apparantly the motor fits and works straight up with no other changes. What isn't clear is the availability of the motor to actually purchase from Specialized.

That's interesting. I would have though the TCU would have to be swapped but I reckon that you would need the new TCU to get the higher power output. Got a link to the thread?

Mate of mine has one. Not my cup of tea design wise (nor are eBikes generally) but the craftsmanship on it is extraordinary. Never seen anything like it.

It’s a bit of a handful in anything slower and tighter, but by all accounts is an absolute machine when the speed picks up. Frame has been faultless, it’s just the components which seem to regularly self-combust because of the speed, weight and hits it does.

What height is he and what size did he choose? I'm semi considering one whilst the Levo is in getting another new motor..

I've seen one of the Pole non Ebikes in the flesh and they are a thing of beauty if you are into machining porn. I'd be too scared to scratch and scrape all those beautiful tooling paths.
