Powerful and smooth motor system with high torque and peak power
Excellent suspension performance and tuning for trail capability
Versatile geometry adjustments for customizable handling
High-quality integration of tech features and user interface
Impressive battery range and fast charging capabilities
High price point across various models
Heavy weight, which can be challenging without motor assist
Occasional reliability issues with shocks or motor components
Some models have less powerful brakes or limited dropper post travel
Motor noise and potential for subscription-based features in future models
The Levo makes me feel like a kid again. All my worries disappear and life is carefree, my hair blowing in the wind as I rocketship around on my fancy new toy.
BetaThis seriously capable bike feels incredible on the downs, but just as capable on the ups, too.
BikeRadarThe Levo offers some of the best handling and suspension we’ve experienced on an e-MTB.
Flow Mountain BikeSpecialized’s Turbo Levo is so successful, so ubiquitous, and so dominant at the top of the e-bike hierarchy that launching a new version is a momentous event.
MBRThis is the first e-bike we have ridden where the motor applied power only when we expected it.

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

Specialized races to the top of the mountain and the top of the price leaderboard with its new $20,000 S-Works Turbo Levo 4 LTD.
Jul 2025
With its latest generation e-MTB, Specialized has the likes of Amflow and Bosch set well within its sights as the S-Works Turbo Levo 4 boasts big power and serious integration. With that, it provides an approachable and easy to get on with ride that’ll please a serious range of riders, new and experienced. However, you’ll have to pay for the privilege, the GENIE tech may be an acquired taste, and it’s not quite as light as I would expect for the rather serious outlay.

The more economical options in the Levo line still deliver serious power, a massive battery, and Specialized’s second-to-none frame design for all-mountain riding. Specialized’s Turbo Levo Gen 4 is the kind of sequel that doesn’t just continue a legacy, it reasserts it. The previous model was already a fan favorite, renowned for its balanced geometry,
Elite motor performance. The Specialized 3.1 mid-drive motor delivers 666W peak power and 101Nm of torque. It has punchy yet refined output with buttery smooth engagement across cadences.
Adjustable geometry. Riders can dial in their preferred ride feel with flip chips at the shock and seat stays, plus a 3-position adjustable head tube angle.
Quiet, natural ride feel. Despite its power, the motor remains impressively quiet and intuitive, helping the bike feel nimble and planted even on techy terrain.
Big battery, long range. The 840Wh battery provided one of our longest range results to date in max assist, with flexibility to add a 280Wh range extender or downsize to a 600Wh battery to save weight.
App & display integration. The MasterMind display is clean and informative, while the Specialized app unlocks deep customization, ride tracking, auto-lock security features, and Apple Find My integration.
SWAT storage & smart design touches. Hidden storage in the downtube means you can ditch the pack for shorter rides, and a tool hides inside the stem cap for convenient battery access.
Great suspension with GENIE tech. Fox 36 Rhythm fork and Float X shock with Specialized’s GENIE system offer plush support and better bottom-out resistance.
Mullet wheel setup feels agile. The 29” front / 27.5” rear setup, paired with shorter chainstays, keeps the handling snappy and fun despite the bike’s heft.
Bottle cage fitment is tight. The built-in storage and frame shape may limit you to smaller water bottles.
Stem tool can stick. The SWAT tool hidden in the stem needed some grease to function smoothly out of the box.

The S-Works motor has 111 Nm of torque and 720 watts of max power output.
Instant power delivery, and plenty of it
840 Wh battery as the stock configuration
Very adaptable, whether that's geometry or battery size
Heavier than expected
Deserves more travel
Class 3 option shouldn't be a feature
Sep 2024 · Joshua Hutchens
Specialized follows up on the success of their first Levo SL with a bike that looks more like the Stumpjumper than an e-bike. A slim 320Wh battery powers...
Lightweight
Trail bike feel
Optional range extender
Excellent motor integration
Pricey
Limited range
Aug 2024 · Ron Koch
Simply put, they took all the positives of the Stumpjumper platform and added a motor to make this an extremely versatile all-mountain machine.
