Summary
The Specialized Turbo Levo SL is a lightweight, versatile enduro e-bike that combines the agility and feel of a traditional mountain bike with the added boost of electric assistance. It's praised for its superb handling, well-tuned suspension, and customizable motor settings, though some riders note limitations in battery range and motor power on steep climbs.
Lightweight with a traditional ride feel plus electric assistance
Superb handling and well-tuned suspension
Customizable motor tuning via Specialized App
Versatile geometry with adjustable headtube angles
Excellent cornering performance
Limited range from small in-frame battery
Motor lacks power reserve for sudden climbs
Expensive
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

Simply put, they took all the positives of the Stumpjumper platform and added a motor to make this an extremely versatile all-mountain machine.

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

Specialized says not a single bolt was reused to make the new Turbo Levo SL 1.2 motor. The frame is all new too!

Compared to the outgoing Levo SL, Gen 2 is exactly what aggressive riders had been hoping Specialized would deliver.
