It's been through the gauntlet and come out unscathed—mostly.

Mega-money S-Works Turbo Levo has the performance to justify the price
Impeccable handling 99 per cent of the time
Amazing spec
Impressive suspension that proved to be both poppy and supple
Easy to adjust geometry with a wide range of settings
Great battery life and power delivery
Trail casing tyres reduce out-the-box capability
Damping tune might not suit ligher riders
Mind-blowing price tag

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

Superb suspension and impressive range.
All sizes could be longer.
