ENDURO reviewing yet another eMTB?! There's actually a very good reason: the sub 17 kg Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL offers a very natural ride and top handling. Moreover, it allows you to enjoy long rides without getting exhausted! Fancy a shuttle session without taking the car?
Intuitive handling
Motor delivers a very natural ride feel
Successful integration of the motor-battery system
Modular battery concept with range extender
Lack of smoothness at high speed and little support from the suspension
Puncture-prone rear tire

The third generation of the Levo advances the eMTB game to the next level.

Super smooth power delivery
Adjustable geometry

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
