Specialized Levo SL Comp Carbon 29 is a new, lightweight breed of eMTB that harnesses the quick and lively ride ofour Stumpjumper...and adds just enough power to introduce a whole new dimension ofkick ass. The Levo SL Expert Carbon features a full carbon frame paired to full FOXsuspension and a SRAM Eagle GX drivetrain.

The Levo SL looks like a Stumpjumper and, out on the trail, feels like one too. That’sno mistake. Specialized aimed to build a Stumpjumper with a bit more boost to it and that’sexactly what you get—a Sidearm chassis with just the right amount of front-to-rearstiffness and 150mm of smooth, custom-tuned FOX front and rear suspension. To topit all off, Levo SL chasis was constructed  entirely from Specialized's light-yet-strong FACT11m carbon.

The geometry of the bike offers you better handling and that means more fun. Lower bottom bracket, the reach is lengthened, the chainstays are kept nice and short, the head angle is slacked-out, the seat angle steepened, that improves climbing efficiency, and a low centre of gravity is maintained. You’ll also find a Flip Chip that lets you adjust the bottom bracket height and head angle in a matter of minutes. Your benefit?  Best trail capability, the sitting position is very balanced, stable handling on descents, and the responsive ride feels on technical trails.

At the motor, Specialized 1.1 custom lightweight motor was built to be the smallest and lighter motors of them all. It also features different internal components, and it weighs 1,100 grams less than Levo 2.1 motor. The magnesium motor casing is one of several advancements that help make the motor so light. The Levo SL model has 320Wh battery capacity, with a single 160Wh Range Extender battery (sold separately) that increases onboard battery capacity to 50 percent. The bike gets more distance out of every full charge, so there’s no need to worry about getting caught on the trail without enough juice to get you home. The motor’s responsive torque curve deliverspower perfectly in-tune with your normal riding cadence and leaves no resistancewhen you’re riding without power assistance. The Smart Control feature, available with their Mission Control App, lets you set the power assist to last for either the duration of your ride or until you reach a point you’ve defined yourself. Battery status is now always on view with both the new Turbo Connect Unit and the optional handlebar-mounted Turbo Connect Display. The Mission Control has three assisted riding modes: ECO (30%), TRAIL (60%), and TURBO(100%).

This Turbo is also the smartest and best-connected e-MTB to date. The Turbo Connect Unit is at the center of the top tube, and it connects the bike, via ANT+ and Bluetooth®, to both the outside world and the Turbo Connect Handlebar Display (available aftermarket). Speaking of which, the latest version of the Mission Control App now has more features and is simpler to use than ever before. It lets you easily custom-tune nearly every aspect of the bike, monitor your power use, control your range, perform basic system diagnoses, record and upload rides—there’s even a new Shuttle Mode feature that takes the sting out of long climbs by giving you maximum motor support with less required effort at the pedals.

Specialized Turbo Levo SL S - so light, you'll forget it's electric!

Why 29” wheels?

• 29" bikes for better control - thanks to a larger contact area with the ground, they offer you improved traction and better control while riding
• 29" bikes for higher speed - simple physics: larger diameter, higher speed
• 29" bikes for a smoother ride - larger wheels make it easier to overcome smaller and larger obstacles on the trail
• 29" bikes for taller bikers – simply because they are larger
