The Specialized Turbo Levo, a flow trail rider's dream, effortlessly navigates lips, roots, and rocks with its lightweight design, albeit with a reduced battery range compared to competitors, making it ideal for those seeking a playful ride with motor assistance.
Extremely light
Fun and poppy suspension kinematics
Available range extender
360 Wh battery range may not be enough for some riders
Less supple in chunky terrain than the travel numbers would suggest

Excellent balance between agility and composure
Makes you feel at ease right from the start like no other bike in this test
Very good motor integration
Brake lines rattles against the handlebars
Expensive

Specialized’s mid-range carbon fibre Turbo Levo looks to retain the magic of the S-Works version at a lower price
Neutral balanced handling
Amazing in the turns with plenty of grip
Great suspension dampers
Frame s potential exceeds fork performance limited by travel
Value for money
