At a glance

The 2020 Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL is a E-Mountain and Trail mountain bike. It sports 29" wheels, is priced at $19,000 AUD and comes in a range of sizes, including S, M, L, XL. The bike is part of Specialized's Turbo Levo range of mountain bikes. As a pedal-assisted e-mountain bike, the Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo SL is powered by a Specialized SL 1.1, custom lightweight motor motor and a battery.

The Turbo Levo SL is a new, lightweight breed of eMTB that harnesses the quick and lively ride of our Stumpjumper…and adds just enough power to introduce a whole new dimension of kick ass. The top-shelf S-Works Turbo Levo SL features a carbon chassis mated to FOX Factory-level suspension and SRAM’s premier Eagle XX1 drivetrain.

The Turbo Levo SL looks like a Stumpjumper and, out on the trail, feels like one too. That’s no mistake. We aimed to build a Stumpjumper with a bit more boost to it and that’s exactly what you get—a Sidearm chassis with just the right amount of front-to-rear stiffness and 150mm of smooth, custom-tuned FOX front and rear suspension. To top it all off, we constructed this Turbo Levo SL chassis entirely from our light-yet-strong FACT 11m carbon.

Reviews

"With the Levo SL, Specialized has ushered in a new genre of lightweight, low-power e-MTBs"

"Like the regular Levo, the Levo SL is built around 29in wheels with 150mm of travel. With the addition of the unique SL 1.1 motor however, Specialized has produced an entirely different riding experience with this new lightweight e-MTB."

"The new Specialized Levo SL sets a new benchmark!"

"So with all those reservations above, the new Specialized Turbo Levo SL must be a blast to ride. And perhaps it's the missing part of the eMTB options, the eMTB for riders who don't want monster trucks, but want a good handling bike with a bit of a boost."

"The Levo SL is a less powerful, lighter, and more graceful e-mountain bike."

"It’s less clunky, less numb, less brutal than the typical e-bike, and more like an acoustic mountain bike; it provides nearly the experience of riding an unpowered mountain bike with a subtle boost to let you ride further, faster, more easily. I’m not sure the typical e-bike customer is ready for this Colin Chapman approach, but the Levo SL is the most unique and exciting e-mountain bike on the market right now."
