Summary
The Specialized Turbo Levo stands out as a top-tier enduro e-MTB, praised for its powerful and quiet Brose motor, impressive battery life, and well-balanced geometry. Reviews highlight its natural ride feel, excellent suspension performance, and advanced integration of e-bike components. However, some note compromises in component quality for the price, particularly in wheels and brakes.
Powerful, quiet Brose motor with natural ride feel
Impressive battery life and range
Well-balanced geometry and suspension performance
Advanced integration of e-bike components
Lightweight and stealthy design
Component quality doesn't always match the price
Wheel and brake performance can be underwhelming
Some models are expensive
Battery removal can be cumbersome
Turbo Levo is the benchmark all other e-MTBs are judged against
Bike PerfectThe bike is incredible… it’s lightweight, beautiful, relatively quiet, extremely well balanced, and just a blast to ride.
Electric Bike ReviewThe Specialized S-Works Levo is currently the best eMTB on the market!
E-Mountainbike MagazineSimply put if we had to choose one e-bike out of all the ones we’ve ridden, we keep coming back to the Levo.

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 […]

An e-MTB with an 80-mile range that gives you twice your power — at nearly the same weight — as a traditional trail bike.

There is no doubt that Specialized, with their top-of-the-range S-Works model, has set a standard that is absolute when it comes to e-MTBs

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.

Cheaper parts hold back a bike with otherwise excellent geometry, chassis and motor
One of the best ebike frames around, which rides light and feels close to a ‘normal’ bike
The 2.1 motor is super smooth with rapid engagement
SRAM’s Level T brakes struggle to stop this much weight
I don’t like Specialized’s wriggly Butcher GRID tyres
The motor lacks the sheer top-end torque of some

Only 240 watts. Only 38 pounds. Welcome to the gray area.

Price: $8250.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A lighter, stiffer, even more powerful second generation Turbo Levo platform, custom side-arm rear suspension design improves cable routing, tubeless ready rims and tires, unique hidden SWAT multi-tool under stem cap
A lighter, stiffer, even more powerful second generation Turbo Levo platform, custom side-arm rear suspension design improves cable routing, tubeless ready rims and tires, unique hidden SWAT multi-tool under stem cap
29er wheel size with narrower 2.6" tires reduce friction and improve steering precision, new battery design provides higher capacity for improved range, two colorways, four frame sizes, vast network of dealers, great warranty
Brose Drive S MAG (magnesium) is lighter, smaller, more powerful, and even more efficient than older aluminum motors but just as smooth and still very quiet, works with Mission Control smartphone app, new Shuttle mode adjusts torque at lower pedal cadence for slow steady climbs
Improved control interface is easier to reach on the top tube and can be set to stealth mode so no LED lights shine while riding, control ring allows you to adjust assist without taking your hands off of the grips, still no locking core to protect the battery against theft, single-shift SRAM triggers protect the drivetrain but feel slower and less satisfying than multi-shift

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
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
Deserves tougher wheels and a fancier fork for the money
Carbon frame is impressively light but makes it expensive
