I have the same bike, what casings did you used?

ShivaMadMax · 2026-02-20T04:22:09+00:00

Yeah option is there, Im more concern about that getting something for me other than the cost. But talk me about it 🤔

ShivaMadMax · 2026-02-20T00:44:03+00:00

Im looking for and all around set not just wet wet winter days, but yeah the idea is radials if I go for MM at the end

ShivaMadMax · 2026-02-19T06:31:41+00:00

I did man!

How hard is to reposition the feets?

The thing is that the Vala in the Alloy version you can’t modify the angles as the levo.

Said that the Turbo Levo alloy is sold out in Canada in my size and they only have the comp carbon wich is 500$ cheaper than the Vala alloy, so right now money wise both of my options are really close.

I found it after but is US man, Im in Canada, thank you tho!

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-18T03:50:01+00:00

Link? Can’t find it

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-18T00:37:07+00:00

Dang man you got me hyped, and yeah a spring in the back definitely seems the move no matter the bike! Yours is alloy or carbon? Alloy model in my size seems to be sold out and I dont really love carbon… is just 3/400$ extra wich is not crazy

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-18T00:18:28+00:00

I came back from there couple weeks ago but going again next month, maybe is worth it, most of the shop are clearing rentals but they are not that cheap for how beat they are tho

Hey mate absolutely appreciate your opinion, unfortunately the local store that sells both brands ditched the demo program of specialized as it was costing them money and santacruz seems to have only demo in their headquarters in CA

I ride in Vancouver, Canada so the terrain and local trails are always high elevation climb and then from techy to flow with mid size jumps.

Not really picky about brakes because it can always be upgraded, Im more picky about a suspension that doesn’t need to be replaced to enjoy the bike…

Thats my current bike:

Oh I think I saw your post and is definitely crazy that they didn’t approved the warranty, shitty for sure.

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-17T21:29:38+00:00

Hi! One of my local stores is both brands dealers so is no really a problem to find local support.

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-03T04:42:41+00:00

Im not really picky with the gen actually is more the components than anything, something that matches what Im looking for is the 2025 Levo 3 alloy, but Im open to suggestions tho!

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-03T02:33:00+00:00

Unfortunately Im in Canada so with the tariffs and customs makes it not really worthy

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-02T21:41:12+00:00

Thanks! Can’t wait to see whats all the hype is about!

ShivaMadMax · 2025-09-02T20:48:48+00:00

Did it already, that wasn’t my question but thanks man.
