Consumer Reports

The Specialized Turbo Levo Comp returns to our electric mountain bike test and claims the top step on the podium for the third year in a row. Updated for the 2020 model year, it looks nearly identical to the previous version but has several notable changes, including a more impressive build kit and an upgrade to a 700Wh battery. Add to that the recent updates, including 29-inch wheels, new frame design, and display placement, and the updated Specialized 2.1 motor, and it solidifies its continued dominance. It still has the same on-trail performance, making it "feel more like a mountain bike." It is more playful, agile, and well-rounded than the competition, yet it still manages to charge the fall-line just as hard. Like previous Turbo Levo models, Specialized has very stealthily integrated the battery and motor into the frame giving it a low center of gravity and a very non-e-bike look. The new motor is very quiet, plus it weighs less than most of the other models in this test, even with a larger battery.
Of course, there is still room for improvement, but we found little not to like about the Turbo Levo Comp. There is no handlebar mounted digital display, and while the top-tube mounted display works fine, it's outdone by the competition. The charging port is still located in a non-ideal location and is prone to collecting debris and moisture even when properly closed. The SRAM Guide brakes that came on our test bike also felt relatively underpowered for the 50 lb weight of this bike. Overall though, the Specialized still proved to be the test team's favorite for its versatility, well-rounded performance, and very impressive range and efficiency.

The Specialized Turbo Levo Comp Alloy returns to our electric mountain bike test and claims the top step on the podium for the fourth year in a row. Updated for the 2022 model year, it looks nearly identical to the previous version but has several notable changes, including the highly adjustable geometry debuted on the Stumpjumper EVO, mixed wheel sizes, and the new Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor. The adjustable geometry is a real highlight, giving the rider the ability to set the bike up in six distinct configurations through adjustable head cups and flip chips in the chainstays. The head cups allow you to change the head tube angle a full degree at a time between 65.5 and 63.5-degrees while the flip chips adjust the bottom bracket height by 7mm between the high and low positions. This unprecedented level of adjustability really allows the rider to set the bike up to suit their riding style, terrain, and preferences, taking the Levo's versatility to another level. Meanwhile, the move to mixed wheel sizes helped to keep the rear end of the bike maneuverable and increases clearance in steep terrain. The 700Wh battery carries over from the previous version, and gives the bike a very impressive range, while the revised motor pumps out some serious torque with three customizable support settings. The refinement and integration of the entire system is excellent, plus the Comp Alloy model we tested comes with a functional and capable build, even if it isn't flashy. 
Of course, there is still room for improvement, but we found little not to like about the Turbo Levo Comp. There is no handlebar-mounted digital display, and while the top-tube mounted display works fine, it's outdone by the competition &#40;more expensive models have a new integrated digital display&#41;. The SRAM Code R brakes that came on our test bike are adequate, but they quickly developed a spongy and inconsistent feel. While we like Specialized tires, the GRID Trail casings that come stock are simply not tough enough for the weight of this bike or its hard-charging capabilities. Overall though, the Specialized still proved to be the test team's favorite for its enhanced versatility through adjustable geometry, well-rounded performance, and very impressive range and efficiency.

Specialized found the perfect balance of power vs. natural handling in the Turbo Levo Comp e-mountain bike. Full-power e-bikes are heavier no matter what, but the Levo has smooth power delivery &#40;an improvement over the abrupt power cutoff of older versions&#41;, is well balanced, and handles the most like a "regular trail bike" out of any of the models we tested. The latest Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor system is well refined and boasts a whopping 90Nm of torque, more than enough power to propel you up hills that would be unconquerable on a standard bike. Mixed wheel sizes and highly adjustable geometry also make the Levo Comp one of the most customizable options available; several minor adjustments make a huge difference and allow you to tailor the bike to different riding styles and terrain quickly and easily. The Levo also ranks near the top of the group for range. We felt confident going on longer rides without running the risk of being stuck miles from the trailhead with a 50lb bike and no power.
While this is undoubtedly one of our favorite electric bikes to take out on the trail, there are a few areas where the Levo was not the top performer. The SRAM Code R hydraulic disc brakes that come on this bike are far from our favorite and the non-e-bike specific Fox 36 Rhythm fork also leaves a bit to be desired. There is also no digital display screen on this bike. The only information immediately available to the rider are the LEDs found on the frame's top tube that show the current support setting and remaining battery life. If you value having lots of information available at a glance, more expensive versions of the Levo come with a digital display, or you can purchase one as a separate accessory. However, we wouldn't let either of these drawbacks deter you from the Turbo Levo Comp, and we recommend it to anyone looking for a refined and highly adjustable electric mountain bike.

Following the updates to the Stumpjumper EVO, the Turbo Levo Comp Alloy received an overhaul for the 2022 model year. Much like the unpowered Stumpjumper, Specialized gave the Levo a highly adjustable geometry that allows the rider to significantly alter its character to suit their riding style, terrain, and preferences. With six distinct geometry settings to choose from, you can set it up as a more nimble trail bike, an aggressive gravity-oriented slayer, and everything in-between. This unprecedented level of adjustability truly expands this bike's versatility and puts it in a class of its own. It boasts 150mm of rear wheel travel with a 160mm fork and mixed wheel sizes for a confident front end and maneuverability out back. Specialized's Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor is quite powerful with 90Nm of torque and up to 565 peak watts of output, with three customizable levels of pedaling support. 700Wh of battery is housed in the frame's downtube, providing an excellent distance range, and the whole package has been refined and well-integrated with balanced weight distribution for a natural ride feel. 
The Comp Alloy is one of the least expensive builds of the Turbo Levo offered, and it comes with a functional build, but there are a couple of weak points. The SRAM Code R brakes are far from our favorite, and the GRID TRAIL casing tires aren't as tough as we'd like for the weight of this hard-charging bike. Additionally, the top tube integrated TCU display is quite basic, although the higher-end models now come with a more advanced system. Finally, 700Wh is a lot of battery capacity, but other brands recently surpassed Specialized in the range wars. Regardless, we feel the Turbo Levo is one of the best and most well-rounded electric mountain bikes you can buy. Its adjustable geometry takes its versatility to another level.

 I almost felt like I needed to apologize when I was passing other bikes on the trail ;-). The suspension felt great and the ride is comfortable. Yeah, I don't think I can go back to my old MTB again; time to put it up for sale.

 I was surprised that this e-bike can handle like a regular MTB in the sharp turns and dips/bumps. Large, wide, tubeless tires help as well as having the instant power to drive through tricky points on the trail. I also like that you can customize the power settings -- you can set the ECO mode down to minimal assist which makes it feel like a light-weight MTB. Then, pop up to TRAIL mode when you need some extra oomph

Awesome upgrade

 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 between the two, but the Dpx2 does get that piggyback reservoir and a higher oil volume, which means it's less likely to fade on longer descends. In terms of rear suspension setup, Specialize recommends around 28 to 30 sag for the Levo Sl. However, the suspension on this bike is quite linear and while it does mean it's very comfortable and active and will likely suit beginner riders and those who aren't necessarily riding at high speeds, I did find I was bottoming out the suspension quite regularly. With that in mind, I added a bigger volume spacer inside the air can, which improved both bottom out and mid-stroke support and really gave this bike a more poppy ride quality on the trail

 And that wasn't helped by our test bike having sticky pistons in the brake calipers. Fresh out of the box, It doesn't exactly have the blingiest build kit for a 15 000 bike. We've got alloy handlebars, alloy crank arms, a Gx Eagle cassette, and alloy wheels, but clearly specializes. Put most of the money of this bike into the frame, the motor, and the high-end suspension

 However, the suspension on this bike is quite linear and while it does mean it's very comfortable and active and will likely suit beginner riders and those who aren't necessarily riding at high speeds, I did find I was bottoming out the suspension quite regularly. With that in mind, I added a bigger volume spacer inside the air can, which improved both bottom out and mid-stroke support and really gave this bike a more poppy ride quality on the trail. For beginner riders, the stock tune is likely to be absolutely fine, but for more aggressive riders who are riding faster and hitting bigger drops, consider adding a bigger volume spacer inside the shock to increase progression. The third change is with the brakes, so the previous bike came with Sram G2 brakes, which were a little squishy and underpowered

 It's got a 51 millimeter fork offset and a 66 degree head angle, so it's not super raked out and it means there's not really any understeer that you have to battle through sharp turns. The suspension is nice and active, which makes it comfortable, but also generates plenty of grip through the turns, which is complemented by the specialized tyres. Those looking for a super high powered E-mountain bike experience will be disappointed with the Sl 1.1 motor, but I like it on really tricky technical climbs where the power delivery is really smooth and consistent

How much does your main bike cost?

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

 You feel though. If you’re new to mountain biking, you won’t notice these trade offs at all.

Close to making a purchase. One thing holding me up is that the bike I’m looking at (Biktrix Juggernaut Duo Ultra) is a hardtail. I was wanting full suspension, but the FS model has a minimum height of 5’7 and I’m 5’6 with shoes on…

But I’m wondering if I’ll regret not getting a FS. $4k is a lot to spend and I don’t want to have to buy twice. My plan is to hit trails and eventually work my way to mountain trails, so I expect some bumpy rides. I’m also a heavy guy, around 300lbs today, but I do plan on getting that down. I thought about adding a suspension seat and fat tires for the hardtail, but again… just looking for some advice. Thanks!

Hardtail vs Full-suspension for eMTB

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.

I live in the suburbs and have been wanting to get rid of my car for a while. I just got a really good offer for my car and wanted to sell it but it can be difficult in the suburbs with shit public transport.

Most of my trips are within 10 miles round trip which are fine on a regular bike. Going to Target like 2 miles away takes about 10 minutes compared to 6 minutes via car. My gym is a couple miles away as well, definitely bikeable. The nearest train station is just over 4 miles and takes 22 minutes via bike and 12 minutes via car.

However, there are a lot of places I go to that are further away. Like I go to Costco which is 7 miles away, not to mention the difficulty of having to carry a lot of groceries on a bike. There are other ~15 mile trips that I make pretty regularly that I need to drive. Those kinds of trips take like 25 minutes on a car and over an hour on bike, and biking that much would get me there exhausted and sweaty.

So I have been thinking of using some of the money I make from selling my car to get a nice ebike. That would make those longer trips a bit shorter and much less exhausting.

My only concern is it getting stolen. Nice ebikes cost like thousands of dollars and even good quality, expensive locks that weigh 10 pounds can be cut through in about a minute.
