Nov 15, 2024Turbo Levo SL S5 Custom GX T-Type Code Ultimate Expert
$6250 USDHello!
This exceptional bike is a frame-up build, recently assembled by a master mechanic.
Total package MSRP: $10,560
The ENTIRE build kit is a brand new 2025 EXPERT build, except for the upgrade to CODE Ultimate brakes (which have 246.1 miles on them)- everything else (from the tires to the saddle) are brand new.
The -frame- is lightly used (with a different build), with only 246.1 mi on the clock (17 charge cycles)- (see phots).
Frame deals: these are custom, high-quality, professionally installed vinyl. If you don’t’ like them, they are -easily- removable (underneath, the logos are a slightly darker shade of blue, very subtle).
Also included:
BRAND NEW Range Extender battery, Levo SL Range Extender cable- AND a Y-Charge cable (so you can charge the bike and Range Extender at the same time) .
This is in addition to the bike charger, and all associated manuals, as well as the AXS battery charger (see photos).
SIZING:
This bike is an S5, which some would call an XL. However, it is not a particularly a “big” XL. Obviously, some of the GEO depends on what adjustability settings you’re running (slack, neural, steep head cups, etc.)- but for me (at a leggy 6’)- I prefer a bike with a reach of a high 480s to mid- 490s (which this has). If you need help with sizing and set-up, I can OBVIOUSLY help you out and am more than happy to- but ONLY in the context of buying –THIS—bike (please be respectful of my time).
Shipping:
Shipping is easily available within the 48. The bike will be professionally boxed and shipped via UPS or FedEx. The option to ship beyond the 48 exists, but the extra effort (and pain in the ass) will be reflected in increased costs to you. I will be as accommodating and reasonable as possible.
*note, price is O.B.O. (As far as communication and offers: reasonability will be met with reasonability, insolence will be met with unyielding snark and curtness).

This bike is in immaculate (nearly as-new) condition. I am willing to have this bike (professionally) boxed and shipped in we can agree on a deal. Boxing & shipping requires more effort, expense, and pain in the ass- so the deal would need to reflect the increased effort over an in-person transaction with cash.

Who Can Still Win the 2024 Enduro World Cup Overall Title in Loudenvielle?
AGREE, 100%. It is a shame to see the decline in in coverage and ease of access to the coverage (from a fan's standpoint) and the coinciding decline in interest. It was WAY easier (and fun) to follow along / watch in previous years pre-Discovery Plus.
