Summary
The Specialized Turbo Levo SL is a lightweight, versatile enduro e-bike praised for its superb handling, well-tuned suspension, and improved motor performance. It offers a playful ride with excellent cornering and climbing capabilities, though some riders note limitations in battery range and motor power on steeper terrain. The bike's adjustable geometry and customizable settings via the Specialized Mission Control app enhance its adaptability to various riding styles.
Lightweight compared to full-fat eMTBs
Superb handling and cornering
Well-tuned suspension
Improved motor performance and quieter operation
Adjustable geometry for versatile riding
Limited battery range
Motor lacks power reserve for sudden climbs
High price point
Slightly sluggish with burlier components
360 Wh battery range may not be enough for some riders
The Levo SL is one of the best-handling mountain bikes I’ve ever ridden.Bicycling
The new Levo SL can be quite similar to the old one, but it can also be very different.
EMTB ForumsThe power-to-weight ratio here is near perfect; you can ride this bike without powering on the motor and still have a great trail experience.

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’s cut-price lightweight eMTB is hyper-adjustable, but the motor can't keep up with the best?
Highly adjustable adaptable and capable geometry
Excellently tuned rear suspension
Easy to ride
Motor mode adjustment is simple
Nx drivetrain doesn t fit the price tag
Needs a tougher rear tyre casing and longer travel dropper post
Motor lacks torque and power
Battery life could be better
A full 29er option would be nice

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.

Dropper post has limited travel (effective travel about 1.75")
Battery not compatible with Turbo Levo range extender
Stock grips showed wear after 200+ miles

How did the Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL fare against the competition in our big 2024 trail bike group test?
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

The Specialized Turbo Levo SL is a blast to ride, it shreds trails, looks cool, and is very well rounded and capable. However...
Playful
Cornering machine
Jumps, hops and moves with ease
Adjustable geometry is top of class
Versatile in many ways
Louder than other drive units
Smaller battery, less range
Not that powerful of a drive unit on steeper terrain
Price to spec, Value
