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

High-speed riding performance
Completely silent downhill
Attention to detail
MasterMind display offers plenty of connectivity and customisation options
Complex setup with numerous geometry options
Cockpit ergonomics with Shiftmix clamps
