Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL Mountain Bike 2020

Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL Mountain Bike 2020

The latest Turbo mountain bike from Specialized, the Levo SL is their lightest electric MTB yet and this S-Works model tops the range, using a FACT 11m carbon chassis paired to a FOX RHYTHM 34 FLOAT 29 fork. Both the front and rear provide 150mm of trail-smoothing suspension.

Just 17.35kg in a size large, the frame contains a new SL 1.1 motor that adds 250 watts, doubling your efforts. The 320Wh internal battery provides 3.5 hours of assisted ride time, and the included range extender adds another 1.5 hours. Personalisation is possible through the Mission Control App, you can customise power delivery, control range and manage the battery, alongside a host of other features. When you're riding on pedal power alone, drag isn't increased. This bike truly sets new standards in eMTB performance, with the same nimble, lively ride feel of the renowned Stumpjumper, you'll just be able to go faster and further for less effort.

The bike is built up with components to match its performance. SRAM XX1 Eagle is the gold standard of mountain bike groupsets. It's incredibly light, offers a wide range of gears across the 12-speed cassette, and shifting is smooth and precise even in the muddiest conditions. Doing away with a front derailleur, there's less room for mechanicals, and hydraulic disc brakes work efficiently no matter the conditions. The finishing kit is also top-notch, with a carbon handlebar, and an X-Fusion Manic dropper post to help navigate steep terrain.
