Specialized TURBO LEVO SL PRO Review

When Specialized presents a new bike, the competition usually pays attention. The TURBO LEVO SL PRO 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 PRO. The battery is firmly built-in.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the TURBO LEVO SL PRO in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (8000) .

The high-quality Fox chassis also takes away the fear of rough root sections. Especially for heavy riders, the Specialized brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. 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 drive components and the remaining parts, Specialized uses very good parts. 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. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Specialized TURBO LEVO SL PRO
