Turbo Levo SL is a new, lightweight breed of eMTB that harnesses the quick and lively ride of our Stumpjumper…and adds just enough power to introduce a whole new dimension of kick ass. The Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon features a full carbon frame, full FOX suspension and a SRAM Eagle NX drivetrain.

IT’S YOU… JUST GOING FASTER…AND FURTHER

The Turbo Levo SL is effectively a Stumpjumper that lets you embark on ridiculously long adventures with no fear of bonking and helps you snag three laps of your favorite trail instead of just one. Looking for a ton of power and range? Check out our Levo and Kenevo models. Want a bike, on the other hand, that simply feels like you—a faster you, with the power to ride more trails, kind of you? That’s Turbo Levo SL.

TUNE IT TO YOUR STYLE

By connecting with our Mission Control App, you can tune the SL 1.1 motor to your riding style, record rides, and monitor the battery. The motor even has a built-in power meter that transmits to any ANT+ head unit. Don’t want to connect? No worries—the simple Turbo Connect Unit (TCU) on the top tube gives you all the control you need to just climb on and ride all day.

• Lightweight, carbon Stumpjumper-inspired frame is pure ride quality and control.

• Ultra-smooth and lightweight SL 1.1 motor doubles your pedaling power.

• 150mm of suspension front and rear, courtesy of FOX’s RHYTHM 34 fork and Performance DPS shock.

  • The Turbo Levo SL looks like a Stumpjumper and, out on the trail, feels like one too. That’s no mistake. We aimed to build a Stumpjumper with a bit more boost to it and that’s exactly what you get—a Sidearm chassis with just the right amount of front-to-rear stiffness and 150mm of smooth, custom-tuned FOX rear suspension. To top it all off, we constructed this Turbo Levo SL chassis entirely from our light-yet-strong FACT 11m carbon.
  • The lightweight SL 1.1 motor doubles your effort with as much as 240 watts of silent and powerful assistance to your pedals. The motor’s responsive torque curve delivers power perfectly in-tune with your normal riding cadence and leaves no resistance when you’re riding without power assistance.
  • Worried about running out of power? No problem. Turbo Levo SL eats up big miles and long days. And if you’re looking for even more miles, our optional range extender boosts your range by another 50 percent. On top of all that, our Mission Control App can handle battery management automatically, ensuring your battery will last as long as you need it to.
  • Assist up to 20 mph / 32 km/h

Awesome ride in Full Power mode

Loads of fun. In full turbo mode I can only get about 30km maximum out of her… the only dissapointment thus far is that after 244km I apparently have firmware updates that say “visit your retailer” which honestly - that is ridiculous… the app says it can update… specialized make amazing bikes but this is a joke after dropping over 10k plus upgrades…

The Ferrari of Electric Mountain Bikes

This is an incredibly well engineered machine. I can feel confident in mountain biking after not doing so for 20+ years. It's a euphoric feeling to be outdoors again. Yes, I still get a workout and I get to go further. If . I chose the XL frame for the additional stability and for a less aggressive rate (so you are in a more upright position). I also did not want the Levo with the larger motor because it is a good 10 pounds ( 22.4kg) heaver, wanted a workout, and wanted the bike to feel more like my old analog The ONLY thing I would want differently is the walk assist button function. Currently you have to keep your thumb pressing the button to walk. An push once for on/off would be great. I know it is pricy, but don't be fooled. If you you get a lesser priced electric bike I believe you will find the immediate limitations and end up purchasing this one. Thus, you will have spent more than you would have if you just purchased this one to begin with. Best of times to all.

Simply rad!!! After 30 years

Simply rad!!! After 30 years of mountain biking, I’m always looking for new experiences. I demo’d one last summer & the fun factor was insane. I still love my rigid single speed, but Levo SL allows me to experience a new discipline of riding, feel 20 again, and fresh after long sustained climbs. Very happy with the purchase. Levo SL is ahead of the competition!!!

Loving my Carbon Comp Levo SL

Last December I bought an XS Turbo Levo SL Comp and loved the responsiveness and extra PA for our chunky, hilly Southern Arizona terrain. When the Carbon Comp SL went on sale, I decided to upgrade because the price was amazing and in looking at the geometry, I discovered there was little difference in the XS and the small—the upper tier SLs only come small and larger. Anyway, I love the fact that I’ve shed about 5 pounds and the slightly longer wheelbase makes the Stumpjumper set up even more fun for downhills. Overall I’m pleased with the SRAM drivetrain but have had to get used to the somewhat less responsive SRAM brakes. Great trail bike and able to be ridden with little peddle assist.

Great transition bike from my

Great transition bike from my Stumpjumper to electric. Rides like the stumpy with just enough extra assist to get my 69 year old legs up long steep trails. Light enough that I can lift it over fallen trees. Also, got a great price on last years 2021 Levo SL Carbon.

6" travel XC bike

This is what I have been looking for the last 20 years. A bike that is plush on the rough descend but climbs like a cross country racer :) I enjoy the climbs and mostly leave it on 35% assist. That also helps on the range. Also the weight saving over the full power Levo makes a very noticeable difference on the bike handling. It rides like a heavier trail bike (compare to a 25 lb XC bike). of course for the days I already have tired legs...a little more boost works fine and I can still enjoy the descend.

Turbo Levo sl carbon

I did months of research and was torn between this bike and a consumer direct brand. After reading all the positive testimonials about high quality and quick repairs/parts ect. I chose the specialized bike. I had a specialized enduro prior. This bike feels very similar in weight and geometry. I live in the south but ride the Summers out in the west mountains. So hard for me to keep up with my friends for a while to get up shape. The other thing I like about this bike is because of the light weight can be ridden with no motor assistance much of the time but the power is there on the long climbs. Looking for to years of enjoying this bike

Spoiled myself with this incredible bike

Title says it all. I should note that I'm somewhat of an amateur. This bike is an upgrade from a $600 Giant hardtail I've had since 2015. "Upgrade" is an understatement. I basically went from a Civic to a G-Wagon. This thing is a dream. Highly recommend testing out the other eBikes first to see which motor is best suited for you. I tried out the Bosch, Fazua and Shimano motors on various other eBikes and settled on this motor, which is a collab between Specialized and some manufacturer that I can't remember. In the first two modes, the power assist feels so natural, you simply feel stronger with more stamina. When you're really tired, the third turbo mode is great to drag your butt back home. I'd say I do 50/50 cross country and technical trail riding. I got this thing specifically because it felt like the best jack-of-all-trades while still appearing stealthy about it. All in all, an excellent bike all around, and one hell of an upgrade for me.

This is the lamborghini of bicycles!!! Love it.

I am getting older these days and have accumulated some more health issues along the way. I ABSOLUTELY love n love this bike. It gets me out on the trails and long trails at that. I've rode for 4 hours and only used half of the battery. The bike itself is beyond awesome. It handles the trails perfectly. I did get the XL when I was in the L range and I'm happy that I did. If you can, because it is an investment, get it. I just pulled the trigger and glad I did. Only want is to have the walk assist button work differently. For example, press it once for on and again for off; not press and hold. Something that can be done with the right software update.

Amazing machine!

This bike is really incredible, you can decide how much of a workout you'll get. Still need to work for it but it gives you more options. Only reason for 4 stars is the motor is pretty whiny when you are climbing. Other than that the power and range are more than sufficient, I have never used more than 50% battery and I am thinking of removing the internal battery and running off just a range extender to save 2 pounds weight. If you have the $$, buy it!

Singletrack Animal

I have a heart condition that requires me to keep my heart rate below 130bpm. On this bike I can actually do that and still shred and this bike shreds singletrack like no other. If you're concerned about the weight, don't be. I never notice it. It rides like a acoustic bike. I can clean climbs that I walked before. I'm a older guy (69) that just wants to keep up with his younger buddies. I don't want to beat them just keep up. But if I want, I can drop them on any climb. Descents where skills come in, no problem! With the ample suspension and rock solid Stumpjumper handling I can keep them in sight. This bike has added years to my cycling life. Would I recommend this bike? YES!
