{"product_id":"specialized-s-works-turbo-levo-r-2026","title":"Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo R 2026","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNothing This Powerful Has Ever Felt This Agile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo R combines the SuperNatural power of the Levo 4 platform with a lighter, sharper chassis built for riders who value speed, precision and responsive handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts 140mm front and 130mm rear suspension package gives the bike enough control for demanding technical trails without losing the lively feel that sets the Levo R apart from a longer-travel full-power e-MTB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a bike that accelerates quickly, changes direction easily and feels properly connected to the trail. It still has the motor power and battery capacity for big climbing days, but its real strength is how naturally it carries speed across varied terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Rally Car of E-MTBs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Levo R uses the same full-power Turbo foundation as the Levo 4, but its intent is different. The lower-travel chassis, dedicated 29-inch wheels and rally-focused geometry make it noticeably more agile and efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized offers Levo R builds as light as 18.8kg, but that figure applies to the separate Ultralight model. This 840Wh S-Works build has a claimed weight of 21.16kg in size S3, which is still impressively light for a full-power e-MTB with this much battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Electric Rally: fast on climbs, precise through corners and ready to carry speed wherever the trail opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eS-Works 3.1 Motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe S-Works version of the Specialized 3.1 motor delivers up to 850 watts of peak power and 111Nm of torque. That gives it more outright support than the standard Levo R motor, while Specialized’s control system keeps the delivery smooth enough for technical climbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply delivering a hard surge of assistance, the system monitors rider input and manages the power to help maintain traction. This makes the motor easier to control across loose surfaces, wet roots and awkward low-speed climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e840Wh Battery and Configurable Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Turbo X2 840Wh battery gives the S-Works Levo R the capacity for long trail rides without compromising its responsive handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional 280Wh Range Extender increases total available capacity to 1,120Wh and provides up to 4.4 hours of claimed riding time. Actual range will depend on assistance mode, rider weight, terrain, elevation, temperature and riding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chainreaction.co.nz\/products\/specialized-levo-4-full-power-range-extender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eView the Specialized Levo 4 Full-Power Range Extender\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Specialized 12A Smart Charger is included. It offers multiple charging modes and can charge the 840Wh battery from 0–80% in under an hour when the appropriate fast-charging mode is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFACT 11m Carbon Rally Chassis\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FACT 11m carbon frame uses a carbon shock extension, titanium hardware and 130mm of rear-wheel travel. The geometry can be adjusted to suit different terrain and riding preferences, while the side-entry battery design keeps the frame layout tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInternal SWAT storage provides space for trailside repair essentials without needing to load everything into your pockets or riding pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Levo R places the rider in a more forward, centred position than a conventional long-travel e-MTB. This helps the front wheel hold a line through corners and keeps the bike balanced when climbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFOX Factory Suspension with GENIE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUp front, the FOX 36 SL Factory fork provides 140mm of travel with a GRIP X damper. High-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound adjustments allow experienced riders to fine-tune support and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FOX FLOAT Factory rear shock uses Specialized’s GENIE dual-air-spring system. GENIE is designed to provide a supple beginning stroke for traction, useful support through the middle of the travel and greater resistance as the shock approaches bottom-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a 130mm rear suspension system that handles rougher terrain better than the travel figure might suggest while retaining the efficiency and response expected from the Levo R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSRAM XX Eagle AXS Transmission\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM XX Eagle AXS Transmission provides precise electronic shifting with a wide 10–52T cassette. The direct-mount derailleur is designed to shift under load, which is especially useful on a full-power e-MTB where rider and motor torque can place significant pressure through the drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AXS Pod Ultimate controller keeps the cockpit clean and allows the button functions to be customised through SRAM’s AXS system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoval Traverse SL II Carbon Wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoval Traverse SL II carbon wheels keep rotating weight down while retaining the strength needed for aggressive trail riding. Their 30mm internal width provides a stable base for the 2.4-inch Specialized Purgatory tyres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndustry Nine Hydra 2 hubs provide fast engagement, helping the bike respond quickly when applying power through technical sections or accelerating out of a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Contact Points\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Roval Control SL RISE cockpit combines the handlebar and stem into a lightweight carbon unit with a 780mm width and trail-friendly rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Specialized S-Works Power Mirror saddle uses 3D-printed padding to provide targeted support, while the RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post gives clean wireless operation and size-specific travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-power Electric XC Trail e-MTB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecialized 3.1 S-Works motor with up to 850W and 111Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated Turbo X2 840Wh battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional 280Wh Range Extender compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUp to 1,120Wh of combined battery capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecialized 12A Smart Charger included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMasterMind TCU with 2.2-inch display\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecialized app and Apple Find My compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFACT 11m carbon frame with carbon shock extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable geometry and internal SWAT storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFOX 36 SL Factory fork with 140mm travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFOX FLOAT Factory GENIE rear shock with 130mm travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSRAM XX Eagle AXS Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSRAM Motive Ultimate four-piston brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoval Traverse SL II carbon wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustry Nine Hydra 2 hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated 29-inch wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRockShox Reverb AXS dropper post\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS-Works Power Mirror saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClaimed weight: 21.16kg in size S3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe S-Works Turbo Levo R is for riders who want full-power assistance without the heavier, slower handling of a long-travel enduro e-MTB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast and technical trail riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders who value agility, acceleration and precise handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong rides with repeated climbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders wanting premium suspension and electronic shifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting a lighter full-power e-MTB without moving to a low-power system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor regular bike-park laps, large jumps or very steep enduro terrain, the longer-travel Levo 4 EVO may be the better tool. For riders who want to cover ground quickly and enjoy a more responsive bike, the Levo R is the stronger choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe S-Works Turbo Levo R is not simply a lighter Levo 4. The lower-travel chassis, steeper riding position and lighter components give it a genuinely different character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt feels quick when accelerating, easy to place through technical sections and more willing to change direction than most full-power e-MTBs. The 840Wh battery also means you do not have to give up useful range to get that sharper handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FOX Factory suspension, Traverse SL II wheels and XX AXS drivetrain are all high-end components, but the frame and suspension layout are what make the biggest difference. If you want full-power climbing support with the ride feel of a fast trail bike, this is one of the most complete builds in the Levo R range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTest Ride the Specialized Levo R Comp\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant to experience the difference between the Levo R and a longer-travel full-power e-MTB?
