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?

Motor delivers a very natural ride feel
Successful integration of the motor-battery system
Modular battery concept with range extender
