The frame and motor have virtually irreproachable performance, but its spec seriously limits the potential
Adjustable geometry that feels great on the trail
Good battery life
Powerful motor
Comfy seat and grips
Suspension-damper function limited
Puncture-prone tyres
Asking price not equitable to performance on tap

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

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

Price: $9025.00 | Model Year: 2020 | One of the most satisfying lightweight full suspension electric mountain bikes available... just 38.8lbs total! Uses a proprietary mid-drive motor and downtube-integrated battery pack that weigh under 8.3lbs combined. Optional range extender bottle-shaped batteries weigh 2.3lbs, are easy to use, and the control system allows for simultaneous or independent drawdown. You can even remove the downtube battery and rely solely on the range extender packs, which may be eligible for commercial air travel

Boost hub spacing for strength, varied front and rear tire for improved handling and traction, impressive SRAM G2 RSC hydraulic disc brakes with quad piston calipers and 200/180mm rotors, tool-free adjustable brake levers with reach and contact point, four frame sizes and two color options, stock 29er wheel size with flip chip to enable 27.5 650b, infinitely adjustable dropper seat post
Premium Fox air suspension front and rear with 150mm travel for cross country and all mountain riding (designed around the Stumpjumper with slacker head tube angle and longer wheelbase), Intuitive and durable button pad and main control unit with LED lights that can be turned off, optional Mission Control smartphone app offers power setting adjustments, optional TCU LCD display and Ant+ wireless is great for fitness training (watts, cadence, rpm, bpm)
Limited motor torque at 35nm vs. 90nm on the Brose motor system (used on non-SL Levo and Kenevo), high pitched whine produced by motor when pedaling at high RPM (comparable to Bosch CX), charging ports on non-driveside of bike can be difficult to reach when laid down, the bikes are expensive and Specialized charges extra for the power cable to connect the optional Range Extender battery... as well as a dual-charging splitter cable
