NCM Moscow vs Specialized Turbo Levo SL

When unpacking the Ncm Moscow, the first thing you'll notice is the massive heavy duty frame. It's constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, large tubes...

The Specialize has upgraded this bike from the float Dps shock to the float Dpx2 Now, performance wise, I wouldn't say there's a drastic difference be...

If the bike was assembled correctly, it might be a good value, but it was not for me. Overall the battery lasts a long time, but I wish it had a bit more power and the gearing is not high end for road use. Its hard to go past 20mph since the top gear runs out about then. I find the low gears useless for my use, even with some hills

Turbo Levo SL (the lightest configuration), with upgraded shifters, chain and shocks and taxes, about 19K

Front shocks are great, plenty of power, brakes work well. I’m 6’4” 220 and the bike does just fine. I live in a relatively flat area and on the bike path I can go 5 miles per 2ah with zero pedaling. Going to buy the 18ah just for that added 5ah

Overall, my new bike isn’t as sharp as my old hardtail. The suspension takes the edge off… That’s its job lol. You feel though. If you’re new to mountain biking, you won’t notice these trade offs at all

The motor is awesome!! I took several bikes for test rides on the same steep hill and this one outperformed all competitors with similar specs including one bike with the mid-motor 50 NM. Therefore, this bike is for sure 60 or more NM as declared. Also, this bike is even lighter than declared, I weighted it with the battery it was below 55lb, but declared as 59lb I think. Probably 59lb is it's ancestor NCM Mi-6 weight

An ebike will get you out on two wheels more overall - mine always puts a smile on my face and a little sweat on my brow. Something like a Specialized Turbo Vado SL is like a regular sporty bike, with a little bit of help. I strongly recommend.
