The Turbo Levo Hardtail takes everything that makes a speedy 29er fun and efficient…and then makes it even better How? Turbo technology. Our 1.2 E motor lends a powerful and natural-feeling boost to your pedaling efforts. This is a bike built to take your trail riding up a gear, without exerting all that extra effort.

THE RIDE COMES FIRST

The Turbo Levo Hardtail has all of the speed and nimble handling that our trail bikes are known for—an easy fit, ultra-short chainstays for nimble handling, and a low bottom bracket that makes the bike feel glued to the trail. In other words, it rides like an awesome mountain bike first and foremost—what would be the point, otherwise?

SMOOTH AND NATURAL POWER

The Turbo Levo Hardtail’s 1.2 E motor smoothly and quietly adds power to your pedals and makes climbing the steepest of trails nearly effortless. Plus, you can adjust that power output, to conserve energy and get the most miles from every charge. Our custom motors also feature instant pedal engagement, so you get immediate power the moment you need it and consistent torque throughout your entire cadence range. • M5 premium aluminum frame is light yet strong, nimble yet confident.

• Smooth, natural power assist courtesy of our custom motors and software.

• 100mm of suspension courtesy of an SR Suntour XCM32 29er suspension fork.

  • We’ve crafted the Turbo Levo Hardtails’s hardtail frame from M5 premium aluminum and given it a modern trail geometry to create a ride that combines confident handling, maximum efficiency, and tons of speed. The frame also features an integrated battery mount at the down tube for fast and easy battery removal, plus a forged and braced motor mount at bottom bracket. This keeps the bike sleek and perfectly balances its weight distribution.

  • A SR Suntour XCM32 brings 100mm of front suspension to the Levo Hardtail.

  • Shimano hydaulic disb brakes offer great modulation and years of consistent, powerful braking.

  • Our 1.2 E motor intuitively reacts to the force of your pedaling to deliver just the right amount of power. The motor is belt driven, keeping vibrations low for the smoothest and most silent ride possible.

  • The M1-400 battery brings communicates directly with the Trail Display and ANT+/Bluetooth® module through our unique Mission Control App.

  • Max Top Speed: 15 mph / 25 km/h

Life-altering. BUT ...

In March 2020 we sold our car and bought two of these bikes. HAVE NOT LOOKED BACK. The Levo beats a car for speed, time, flexibility and enjoyment. I ride 20 miles each day to and from work. The Levo is a magnificent beast of a bike. My only quibble would be that Specialized skimped unnecessarily on the drive-train componentry, and rims. They have been totally fixed by relatively inexpensive componentry upgrades, which Specialized should have installed from the get-go: the cassette, chain, front chainring and derailleur all failed within 6 months. I have upgraded all to Deore-level parts - maybe a £60 layout - and the bike is now running like a dream. I have been busting spokes too. Now I'm a big unit but I'm riding mainly on the road, and I have an XL sized MTB. It should be more robust than that. I have upgraded rims, and again, we're rocking the house. Also: get road-rolling tyres!
