Specialized Turbo Levo Comp Review

The Turbo Levo Comp was one of the trendsetters in the field of light E-MTBs years ago. Although quite a few manufacturers have now followed the trend from America, the Levo still remains a bike that should be considered in the purchase decision. The organic lines of the asymmetrical main frame are an absolute eye-catcher. The optical difference to a mountain bike without a motor is hardly noticable.
With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Turbo Levo Comp with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Turbo Levo Comp in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (9000) .

The Fox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. As the bumps become faster and harder, the low-quality chassis could limit the descending fun quite early. Thanks to the solid power, the SRAM brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons and 200 millimeter rotors , Specialized won't take any chances in that area. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. When it comes to the geometry, Specialized does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Specialized definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp

For tours, the Turbo Levo Comp with an outstanding geometry, a good motor and a good brake system is well equipped. Only with a mediocre chassis and an average groupset you have to look away. With 25 years of warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
