Specialized TURBO LEVO SL COMP Review

When Specialized presents a new bike, the competition usually pays attention. The TURBO LEVO SL COMP also triggers this effect with very sleak lines and a holistic approach. One thing that stands out is that the engine gets a significant power update compared to its predecessor.

At steep sections, the somewhat weak Specialized motor requires a lot of initiative from the biker. The Specialized 1.2 SL gives off a well-rounded riding feeling. The short range unfortunately limits the tour radius quite significantly. Who wants to remove the battery for charging or storing, will be disappointed with the TURBO LEVO SL COMP. The battery is firmly built-in.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the TURBO LEVO SL COMP in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (12000) .

A good chassis sits in rugged terrain and generates plenty of traction. That's exactly what the good Fox chassis in the TURBO LEVO SL COMP hits. 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 narrow #reifen_inch_breite Specialized tires do not do this All Mountains range of use any justice. In our opinion, Specialized has saved weight in the wrong place here. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Specialized uses average parts. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward.
