Outdoor Gear Lab

Specialized really broke the e-MTB mold when they created the new Turbo Levo SL. It has the same geometry and looks quite similar to their regular Stumpjumper models, but hidden inside the frame are an integrated 320Wh battery and the compact Specialized 1.1...

Pros
  1. Lightweight for an e-bike
  2. Normal trail bike feel
  3. Range extender battery
  4. Quiet motor
Cons
  1. Expensive
  2. Less battery storage capacity
  3. Less powerful drive unit

The Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL is more EPO injection than eMTB. The intuitive and natural handling make it a great bike for everyone, especially downhill. It’s a great all-rounder and, thanks to the weak motor, also suitable for long rides. However,...

Pros
  1. intuitive handling
  2. motor delivers a very natural ride feel
  3. successful integration of the motor-battery system
  4. modular battery concept with range extender
Cons
  1. lack of smoothness at high speed and little support from the suspension
  2. puncture-prone rear tire

The Specialized Turbo Levo SL Expert C gets its own Fact m11 carbon frame that builds into an impressive 18.57kg (40.94lb) complete bike.

Pros
  1. Superb suspension and impressive range.
Cons
  1. All sizes could be longer.

E-Mountainbike Magazine

Pros
  1. excellently implemented motor concept
  2. Modular battery concept
  3. very agile and playful
  4. bridge technology between analog bikes and e-mountain bikes
Cons
  1. Technical uphill
  2. Cockpit ergonomics

The new Specialized Turbo Levo v3 e-mountain bike is an absolute ripper, perfectly at home on gnarly singletrack, groomed flow trail, and everything in between. It maintains composure and kept me in control on some incredibly technical sections, while turning...

Specialized absolutely nailed it with the new Levo. Yes, the price hurts my heart every time I see it, but that actual performance of the bike puts it above any other eMTB I've ridden. The adjustable geometry, quiet motor, smooth power delivery, and a battery...
