Specialized Levo SL: All About the Frame, Geometry, & Suspension

Product Details

Add Icon

The Levo SL delivers unmatched ride quality and capability, amplified. For the trail rider who craves serpentine singletrack, sending it skyward, and lives for advancing your skills and fitness. Meet your new bike, the Levo SL. You’ll be blown away by it’s unmatched combination of flawless handling, capability, and “2 X You” amplification that gives you the Power to Ride More Trails. Compare it to anything out there, with a motor or without, and we know you’ll agree — Levo SL is THE ULTIMATE TRAIL BIKE.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE — When everything works just right a bike disappears when you ride it. We stripped away the mass to keep the Levo SL lean and responsive. It’s tough enough to withstand heavy abuse, but light enough to nail big moves. Its dialed geometry, kinematics, and shock tuning leave nothing desired.

THE FRAME OF REFERENCE — Everything starts here. Lively, precise ride feel. Strategic carbon fiber layup provides super-responsive chassis stiffness. We tuned the entire chassis—front end, rear end, and the link that unifies them—as a single unit to minimize lateral flex under pedaling to harness every bit of pedal force.

GEOMETRY OF CONTROL — The cockpit centers you in the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle, and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough while giving you the freedom to destroy the turns. The head angle can be personalized to, 63, 64.25, and 65.5 degrees.

LESS IS MORE – The Levo SL is greyhound lean and telepathically responsive. Its curated component selection is light, yet capable—for true trail riding. Put it all together and you get the benefits of amplification along with benchmark handling.

MIXED WHEEL — A 29” front wheel ensures stability and surefooted performance in the most hectic terrain, while a 27.5” rear wheel allows for a compact chainstay and super responsive behavior. If you prefer the rolling and traction benefits of a 29” rear wheel, just flip the pivot link chip and mount the big wheel.

TURBO OPERATING SYSTEM — Our seamlessly-integrated operating system delivers unmatched performance across torque, range, ride feel, ride quality, power, reliability, and rider experience. It’s the invisible hand that enables you to do more, know more, go farther, feel stronger, and have more fun.

SPECIALIZED SL 1.2 MOTOR — The all new Specialized SL 1.2 motor is whisper quiet, boasts unmatched smoothness, delivers 43% more torque (50Nm), and 33% more power (320 Watts) than its predecessor. Resulting in “2x You” performance

  • All new carbon frame, comes in mixed wheel configuration (compatible to 29 rear with no extra parts needed.) New kinematic with flatter leverage curve which provides more support and playfulness off the top, but plenty of control in rougher conditions. The headtube angle and bottom bracket height are both adjustable.

  • New SRAM GX Eagle Transmission

  • New SRAM Code Stealth Silver brakes

Absolute weapon

Never thought I’d consider an eMTB. However my Levo SL Expert Carbon rides, looks, feels, jumps and handles like an analogue but climbs like a dream. Stoked with how much more I’m riding. My S3 comes in at 18.5kgs also so no hassle throwing it on the roof carrier.

The perfect E bike for me!

Perfect bike for somebody looking for an EMTB that still feels like a normal bike. I had the previous generation and the very few complaints I had regarding that first generation have all been resolved. The two most important to me is that it’s quieter and that I can pedal it the same way I do my epic. I’m sure one day they’ll come up with a battery that’s lighter weight and with longer range and when that happens, I wish for that one but for now this one’s awesome.

Another riding experience

I have this bike for almost 3 months and ride 2-3 times a week. My riding experience on Levo SL is over any expectations so far. This bike is a piece of engineering art. Power assist, geometry, brakes (code is a wise choice!), trail control, weight - I enjoy this bike. Thank you Specialized. The only remark - the battery ends too fast. After 30 km ride with 800-900m overall climb there is about 10% remaining battery. I used Trail riding mode. The Eco mode is much better, but it is more convenient for XC than for the trail/mountain rides. So, I had to buy a range extender (pretty expensive, I must say). However, now I don't worry about the battery when planning riding 50-60km. Overall experience is more than positive. I'm really happy having this white horse.

Levo SL Expert - Hits Just Right!

This bike hits just right. If you are an analog rider looking for that extra nudge. This is the bike. It is the perfect blend in regard to weight, power assist, nimble handling and that knowledge you are on a solid piece of engineering. If you are not ready for a full-sized e-mtb? This one is the way to go!

Levo sl carbon expert

I purchased S1 and fits me perfectly! Riding in econo is great for that little nudge. It’s the perfect bike for me due to my height and 109lb weight I needed a light weight bike and this is it. I can go longer and farther than normal. Learning the rock climbing with the 29 wheel on front but I’ll get there. Really an all around great bike.🚵🏼‍:female_sign:😇
