I've been riding MBs since 1984 - originally a Stumpjumper followed by several custom built Kleins. I can't say enough postive about my 2023 Levo Comp Carbon! I went to InCycle intending to purchase an Stumpjumper EVO but the salesman - a pro rider BTW - talked me into trying the Levo. Electric bike?! Total heresy was my initial reaction, but then I rode it! Suffice it to say that my satisfaction level is off the charts. I've found the three F's - Faster, Farther and more Fun! Literally several times a week on serious trails without killing myself. FYI, I did try many other e-bikes (all major brands) but honestly my Levo Comp Carbon is head and shoulders above any of the other bikes I tried. In a few months, I've put 1500 miles on the odometer! Also I notice that a couple reviews knock the brakes, but that's not my experience at all - the brakes on my Levo are terrific. Perhaps set up of the brakes is the issue.

I bought around Black Friday 2022 and this was the best MTB purchase I’ve ever made. I have progressed like crazy being able to get two laps done in the time of one acoustic MTB ride. The Comp Carbon spec is perfect for an enthusiast/weekend warrior who is determined to improve their skills. The value is ok at BF discount prices; full price is tough to swallow and good luck convincing your friends to drop the same cash on a bike unless they already eMTB. I’m 6’ and 185lbs, S4 has been a dream. No complaints about the Fox suspension specs and out of the box felt near perfect, compared to the Factory suspension on my Mega, which took me months to get dialed and just try to nail the confidence of my Levo. For the SRAM brake complainers, I’ve found over filling by 2-3ml at the caliper before closing has stiffened up the brake feel and these RS levers now feel like my sorted RSCs on my Megatower. Experienced mechanics only and at your own risk! I love love love this bike.

Bought the bike a week ago. Have ridden 60 miles on it. Absolutely love the bike. Having said that. I’m 64 only weigh 150 lbs. I know the bicycle is heavy. I’m not 13K for a bike without brakes is a little excessive!!! Seriously The brakes are a joke

Went on my second ride today what an awesome bike my only real complaint would be the brakes there horrible sram need to step it up ! Shimano XTR brakes coming soon

Loving the bike so far, rides well, comfortable for the most part. I am 6’1”. S4 frame size. New app is great works well with everything. It’s been a long time since I got a new bike. I went big this time. Well worth it.

Have a full carbon non-ebike stump jumper that I love, but now 69 years old and realize I can't do what I used to do. I love the Levo because I camp at different mountain biking locations throughout the US and will ride the Levo first to try out new trails and the difficulty. If I think I can handle it, the next day I'll take out the Stumpjumper. You get a good workout on the Levo because you can make it as hard or easy as you want. I also can go further and climb what I can't on my Stumpjumper. Love them both.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this bike!

Incredible bike, but wouldn’t mind the suspension from the Expert build. At factory settings I was bottoming out both front and rear with a riding weight of 165lb. Ended up with +20psi rear and +10 front with the dial exactly halfway between soft and firm. Also, do yourself a favor and get a tailored Ridewrap and install it before your first ride. Installation really isn’t so bad and the finish on this bike scratches if you look at it wrong!!

(2) Year - Long Term Review for a 6'4" aging EX DH Racer From Ride Don't Slide and all the out of park fun at Whistler, Squamish Slabs & Tech to Moab's Ahab, Gold Bar and Portal - this bike handles all the wild trails I wasn't sure a full power Ebike would love. Add to this the ability to double the number of runs in a 2.5hr ride at the local trails and what are you waiting for? I'd be lying if I said the Levo was the first bike I grab to ride each day, but compared to a 170/170 analog enduro bike that's my daily driver - I've never felt the Levo hold me back on difficult DH trails and when the occasion calls, its good in the air too.

The Specialized Turbo Levo e-bikes should be counted among the best bicycles ever created. They go beyond ordinary cycling. They are, rather, exploration vehicles. These bikes allow riders to explore new parts of their world. Where hikers would rarely venture due to distance, where motorbikes are prohibited, those piloting Specialized Turbo Levo e-bikes are free to explore and be pioneers of places previously undiscovered. Regardless of one's age, Specialized Turbo Levo mountain e-bikes bring back the sheer joy of venturing into the woods, mountains, or high desert for the very first time.
