Recently bought a 2022 levo comp alloy, these new ones come with 160mm front and rear travel in the bigger sizes instead of the 150 previous years come with, on the cascade components website they've got an updated cascade link for my bike but it only states that it'll go from 150mm to 160mm so I wanted to know if it'll take my bike to 170mm rear? Anyone tried this already?

My plan is to make a 700w super enduro with 180mm front and 170mm rear but if I'm stuck at 160mm rear then I'll just go 170mm front as it don't wanna have to much of a difference in front/rear travel.

The 2022 Turbo Levo is 150mm rear / 160mm front stock. Not 160 front and rear.

Cascade link bumps up the rear to 160mm.

Or you can get the long travel link Cascade makes for the Levo and a new (longer) shock and make the bike 165mm rear. If you do this though I have heard of fitment issues on the alloy frames where the linkage hits the seat stay and prevents full travel, but fits/works fine on a carbon frame.

I have the 160mm Cascade link on mine w/ a 170 fork and it feels great.

I should consider this. I found a Zeb on a crazy deal but it was a 170mm. Didn’t want to swap the air spring so I had the shop put the headset modifier cup in to push the front end out and basically level out the bike again. But I feel like the bike could benefit from more rear travel now to balance things out.

What's your opinion of the Cascade Link on the Levo? Does it help on extreme enduro trails or just more plush?

I have a cascade link on my 2019 Levo, and I do really like it. That said, I also have a shorter 50mm stroke shock vs the 52.5mm stock, so paired with the Cascade link, it's basically still stock travel.

That said, I do really like the results, I'm running a Jade Coil (yeah yeah, not compatible, it's been 3 years), and the back end is very nice. The increased progression is great, especially as I need to run a 700# coil.

TLBig Grin R: would recommend

What are your thoughts on the Cascade Link for the Levo? Does it significantly improve performance on extreme enduro trails, or does it mainly enhance the bike's plushness?

You could’ve bought a kenevo expert and put a single crown 29” fork on it for the perfect super enduro ebike Wink
