Dec 2020 · Scotty Prendergast

It is true, with all the wiz and fanfare around electric mountain bikes these days occasionally we still hear a little pessimism from the odd naysayer out there… Sure, there will always be your traditional let us say ‘naturally aspirated’ MTB riders out there who at times may have a different opinion on the modern age of e-Bikes with claims akin to; “They don’t handle that well,” or “They are too heavy.” And to be fair those statements have at […]

Specialized Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon review

Aug 2020

The Specialized Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon is a sleek, light and very useable take on the e-bike. The motor might be less powerful than most, but it also has far less mass to push, it's smooth and the battery lasts really well. The spec – in particular the fork – holds it back on rowdy trails and the geometry verges on dated, but for flowy trails and long adventures, the 'superlight' e-bike concept is a winner.

Specialized Turbo Levo Expert Carbon Review

Oct 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Specialized’s Turbo Levo FSR has set the benchmark for all round E-MTB performance, but what’s so great about it and what’s not? Guy Kesteven reports

Highs
  • Powerful, quiet and proven motor

  • Massive battery

  • Neat controls/app and excellent back up

  • Well balanced all round trail riding geometry with neutral set-and-forget suspension

Lows
  • Deserves tougher wheels and a fancier fork for the money

  • Carbon frame is impressively light but makes it expensive

Tested: Specialized Turbo Levo Expert - Four Months On

Feb 2019

This bike has become an outstanding member of the long term test fleet, a travelling companion and adventure partner like no other. And when it’s not pushing the boundaries of mountain biking in far-flung destinations, we’ve appreciated incorporating it into our regular mountain biking lifestyle. We’re enjoying the whole e-mtb thing, and from where we …

Highs
  • Our pick of the current crop of e-bikes.

  • Refined and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Excellent suspension.

  • Mission Control App.

Lows
  • Crunchy seatpost.

  • SRAM Code R lever feel.

  • Still not 100% on 29" wheels for e-bikes.
