Faster sections of trail, where I quickly reached the speed limit of the bike but still wanted to pedal, didn’t feel as labour intensive thanks to the motor de-coupling.

With sleek integration and incredible handling, the original Turbo Levo FSR eMTB was the undisputed category leader. To solidify its market position, Specialized has launched a new and improved carbon version. - Mtbr.com

The Specialized Turbo Levo Hardtail Comp 6Fattie is a really interesting trail hardtail. With a super-quiet, smooth transmission and an integrated battery it looks and feels a lot like a non-powered hardtail, and it will appeal to people who want a bit of assistance in their riding without buying into the e-bike look. The app-based control is interesting too, and the whole experience feels very stripped back: no displays, not much changing of modes, just going out and riding.

A proven suspension design, 27Plus tyres and Brose motor is a pleasing mix on the e-bike from Specialized.

So this is the first time we’ve reviewed an e-Bike in [R]evolution. Over the past few years I’ve briefly ridden a small handful of e-Bikes at trade shows and launches, but until this Levo arrived at our office I had never really dug my teeth into one. You know, set it up properly to fit me, spent time learning about its motor and battery, essentially treated it as if it were my own bike for a couple of months. Now […]

Price: $7500.00 | Model Year: 2016, 2017 One of the stealthiest electric mountain bikes around with integrated battery and motor technology from Brose, available to demo and buy from a wide network of shops. Responsive and zippy without producing a lot of noise, you don't get shift detection here but the motor relies partially on torque sensors so it works naturally enough.

The battery pack is completely removable, reducing bike weight by nearly 7 lbs and enabling you to charge inside with ease, front wheel offers quick release and you get some neat SWAT accessories for trail maintenance and rear wheel removal
Tires are tubeless ready, seat post dropper has internal cable routing (along with most of the wires), frame is ebike specific with custom suspension, larger battery capacity than the Comp model

The Levo is the first pedal assist bike we’ve had an opportunity to really ride for a long period of time. It’s also, in Australia at least, the bike that’s really at the centre of the e-biking debate, so it’s a good one for us to spend some quality time aboard. Why do pedal-assist bikes …
Very clean execution.
Feels and looks brilliantly well made.
Far more fun than we'd dare thought.
Motor surges at slow speeds.
Long chain stays.
