Let me tell you that I have both, Turbo levo alloy and this one that I bought right now Turbo levo SL, Well I use the SL more because it is lighter, I changed the bike rack for the normal ones, it is lighter to take it everywhere, and the engine gives you the push you need. I like it more .

The bike is amazing. What i didn’t realize when debating this purchase was how much more time I’d spend ridding with an electric assist mtb. The beauty of this bike is it doesn't matter if I’m tired after work or I’m not feeling hydrated, or I’m sore. I still want to ride and on those days inevitably once I’m on the trail I get loosened up and tone down the assist as I get going. Just knowing that I have the back up gets me out the door 3x as much as with my conventional bike. I’m also finding that I’m getting to ride a way larger variety of trails. There are plenty of trails that I’d avoid on days that I wasn’t feeling peek but now It doesn't matter. I got on the waitlist for an electric pickup truck because of how impressed I am with this electric mtb, that’s how good it is.

Great ride, very plush suspension from small bumps to big hits it handles it all. Now I can keep with my son. Plenty of power even on ECO mode. Makes 50 year old legs feel like 30!

I raced locally for many years on Epic and still enjoy it. Getting close to mid 70 my grandkids started to wait for me so I got Levo SL. Now I can ride with my kids (about cat 2 40-45 yrs) or I can at least double the length of my rides and again average 10 mph + on the trail. Goin from X-country to trail bike was not as easy as I expected, it took several month to adjust. Anyway - this bike gives you back 10-15 years of age - what more is there?!

seamless and super easy

I was on the fence about e-bikes, right up until my first ride on the Levo SL. I knew I didn’t want a full fat e-bike but also knew I wanted more laps after work and when my schedule didn’t allow for a long day. The Levo SL has been perfect for maxing out after work rides and also for recovery rides after big days on my acoustic bike. Word of caution, this bike will NOT keep up with your buddies on big motor e-bikes. And depending on your fitness and terrain it might be more of a workout than you want if you have ultra-fit riding buds.

I love this bike! It handles like a dream and is extremely comfortable. The SL level pedal assist is more than enough for anything I’ve thrown at it.

After 4 months I absolutely love it! I ride in 'eco' mode with manual riders. I've no previous experience of e-bikes and the SL feels like a conventional mtb to me (except you're riding in stronger form than usual). Of course you have to ride it like one, making use of the full gear range etc.. A big plus is support feels non linear by which I mean as ascents become steeper they actually feel easier unlike riding a manual. I'm not a great technical rider but techie stuff seems so much easier and confidence building on the SL. I tend to ride in 'trail' mode when riding with other emtb riders (if you don't want to fall behind on the hills) or when just feeling lazy! Note that you won't be able to storm up hills with full fat emtbs climbing in 'turbo' which has little interest for me - and makes you very unpopular with acoustic riders anyway. Likely have better traction though. Negatives: No X01 chain (at this price!). .No USB charging port. At 71 I'm retired so money well spent!

So fun to ride - the carbon makes it feel like my "regular" bike. Of course it was a lot of $$$

I have both levo turbo and levo turbo SL. The SL is literally over 10 lbs lighter and way more maneuverable through technical trails and jumps. The less expensive Levo Turbo does have more power and is great for climbing. I am getting a new SL again. Way better bike for overall performance.
