Turbo Levo Gen 4 Power Update, E-Bike Delivery Ban, Orbea's IoT-Enabled Rallon RS | TWR Ep 71
"The update, which can be downloaded via the Specialized app, increases power on the Specialized 3.1 motor on both S-Works and non S-Works models of the Turbo Levo Gen 4. For the top-tier S-Works model, the update raised the motor's peak output to 850W (a 130W increase), while its torque output remained at 111 Nm. Non-S-Works Turbo Levos received a larger boost to both peak power and torque, adding 144W and 4 Nm to reach a peak of 810W and 105 Nm."
"A Boston City Councilor proposes a ban on e-bikes used as delivery vehicles after receiving an abundance of complaints about their reckless use. But would a ban solve the problem? Orbea releases the Mallon RS, an impressively connected yet modestly-specced electric mountain bike. Through Internet of Things (IoT) functionality, the bike's suspension, motor, and dropper post communicate and synchronize to optimize its ride experience. Will we see this tech on future e-bikes?"
Specialized issued an over-the-air update for its 3.1 mid-drive that increases peak power on Turbo Levo Gen4 models. The S-Works model now peaks at 850W with torque at 111 Nm, while non-S-Works models peak at 810W with 105 Nm after receiving added power and torque. The update adds Dynamic MicroTune, smoother power drop-off near speed limits, improved overrun responsiveness, customizable power options, and three walk speed settings. A Boston City Councilor proposed banning e-bikes used for deliveries in response to complaints about reckless use. Orbea introduced the Mallon RS, which uses IoT connectivity to synchronize suspension, motor, and dropper systems.
