Turbo Levo

The power to ride more trails.

In 2016, the original Turbo Levo was one of the first e-bikes to integrate a motor in a way that retained most of a bikes natural feel. Specialized's goal with the Levo was that it had to be, first and foremost, a proper mountain bike. Whether it's a quick blast up Rapaki after work, multiple laps of your favourite trail in Vic Park or epic singletrack at Craigieburn, the Turbo Levo gives you the power to ride more trails.

The most advanced electric mountain bike.

Smaller, lighter motor

The Brose 2.1 motor is 400 grams lighter and 15% smaller than its predecessor. It was able to shed this weight thanks to a magnesium housing that bolts directly to the frame without the need of a cradle. Its smaller size allows for more tidy packaging and a shorter chainstay length.

Lighter frame

The Levo is one of the lightest full-suspension electric mountain bikes to date. The S-Works carbon frame is 800 grams lighter and alloy frames are 600 grams lighter. The frame is also stiffer due to the sidearm and closed-in down tube, but the stiffness has been tuned for each size to maintain the designed ride quality for every size.

Proper trail bike

With an elegant silhouette, the Levo's asymmetric frame has all of the great characteristics we first saw in the new Stumpjumper. Featuring an adjustable geometry and suspension kinematics with a firm mid-stroke support, the Turbo Levo draws inspiration from the well-received Stumpjumper.

Sorted frame

Invisible cable routing, room for a water bottle on all sizes and that super quiet chainstay protector are just a few features that set the frame apart from other e-bikes on the market.

Solid spec

The Turbo Levo has a good spec throughout the range, with proper trail forks, big downhill brakes and a tried-and-true 1x11 drivetrain. Its bigger 34.9mm seatpost diameter means the Levo can reliably run a longer 160mm dropper post.

The most quiet, most natural feeling motor.

The Brose 2.1 motor is driven by a carbon belt, instead of gears, making the Turbo Levo the quietest and most natural feeling e-bike on the market. Smooth, quiet power has always been a top priority for Specialized Turbo bikes. And with the chainstay protector that eliminates most chain slap noise, it's a very quiet bike on the trail.

With the same 250 watts of power and 90 newton-metres of torque as its predecessor, but now offering up to 410% support (30% more), the Brose 2.1 motor has full power available at a lower cadence. Basically, you can climb steeper hills more easily. It does all this with no vibration and zero drag from the motor when it's not assisting.

Brose is one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world, supplying 200 million electric motors each year for car doors, seats, steering components, brakes, transmissions, electric water pumps, etc. Made in Germany, they've brought their extensive knowledge to the e-bike.

Integrated battery up to 700 watt-hours.

The S-Works, Expert and Comp models have a 700 watt-hour battery! With 40% more capacity than the 500 watt-hour, epic back-country singletrack becomes even more accessible. Those 1,500+ metre days are entirely possible. The entry-level model has a 500 watt-hour battery. The 700 watt-hour battery is available to purchase separately.

To allow for the higher 700 watt-hour capacity, the battery was designed to make more efficient use of the space in the down tube. It's easily removable by taking out the 6mm bolt and sliding it out of the bottom.

Specialized made a Turbo Calculator app to estimate how far and high you can ride.

The smartest e-bike.

The Mission Control app has more features and is easier to use than before. With Smart Control, you can pair your phone to the TCU to let the app manage your battery for you, letting you ride as long or far as possible. You can tune motor parameters, check battery status, diagnose the system, etc. There's also a new Shuttle Mode that gives you maximum motor support with less required effort at the pedals.

Smarter controls

The Turbo Connect Unit is right on the top tube and always visible. It houses the on/off switch, assist level button and battery level. You can pair your Mission Control app with the TCU over Ant+ and Bluetooth.

Handlebar remote

Most mountain bikers don't want computer screens all over their handlebars. The discreet handlebar remote controls the TCU and lets you quickly grab Turbo mode for that steep pinch climb. It also has a Walk Mode.

Turbo Connect Display

For riders that want to see more info, like battery level as a percentage, a wireless Turbo Connect Display is available to purchase separately.
