Extremely light
Fun and poppy suspension kinematics

360 Wh battery range may not be enough for some riders
Less supple in chunky terrain than the travel numbers would suggest

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
