Written by: William Crump

The Specialized Turbo levo range, a bike which has arguably revolutionized the Electric mountain industry! Having taken inspiration from the much loved Stumpjumper, the Turbo Levo range offers a diverse range of specifications without losing sight of the stiff and lightweight frame that glues it all together.

2020 saw Specialized introduce a new range of Turbo Levo's - the SL Range. Based around the traditional Levo frame but home to the latest Sl 1.1 Motor and 320Wh battery, the range was named the �lightest electric mountain bikes on the market�. This allowed for weights as low as 18KG without compromise on distance or performance.

With five years of developments under Specialized's belt - 2021 see's the introduction of purely refined and genius engineering. The SL models will continue to stay and revolutionise the Electric Mountain cycling experience whilst getting lighter in the process. Specialized have also kept their beloved FSR range which features a bigger battery and more powerful motor.

The Geometry

Turbo-Levo-Expert

As previously stated, the Specialized Turbo Levo has been adapted and tweaked from the Stumpjumper to ensure that the bike has a sturdy lightweight to stiffness ratio. This will allow your Levo to feel lively and responsive through the berms as well as delivering a smooth power transfer from your cranks to the cogs.

However, in order to attach a motor and the added weight of an ebike, the geometry is slightly slacker which works well in our favour! How? A slacker geometry allows for more control of the bike when the going gets tougher over more technical sections.

Built into the frame, on the top tube, is the TCU Display unit. Mounting it here makes for easier viewing for the rider. It's simplistic and easy to read LED display allows for you to quickly glance at the display as you're descending down Jacob's Ladder without taking your eyes off the trail.

Specialized Mission Control App

Specialized-Mission-Control

Personalise, programme and manage your brand new Specialized electric bike with the Mission control App available on IOS and Android devices. The app allows you to manage your power options compared with battery life in order for you get the most out of your Specialized. If you want to keep a closer eye on your motor and battery health, this can be diagnosed and viewed using the application as well.

Attach your phone to the front of your e-bike and view your ride using the Mission control app. Due to the app's compatibility with strava, all of your data can be saved and uploaded if you forget your Bike GPS computer at home.
