How is the Levo SL 2 Comp Alloy different from the carbon Levo SL?

The Comp Alloy uses an alloy frame, which is heavier and less expensive than the carbon models. The motor, suspension platform and adjustable geometry carry over.

Is the SL 1.2 motor powerful enough for steep climbs?

It provides light, natural assistance rather than full-power thrust. Fit riders will clear most climbs, but it will not match a full-power eMTB on the steepest pitches.

Can I change the geometry?

Yes. The bike has adjustable geometry so riders can alter the handling to suit terrain or preference.

Who is this bike for?

Trail and all-mountain riders who want a bike that still feels like a trail bike, with assistance that extends their effort rather than replacing it.

What kind of terrain does it suit?

Technical trail and all-mountain terrain. The light weight and tunable suspension favor riders who value control over raw motor power.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Levo SL line consistently praise the natural, quiet assistance and the bike's trail-bike feel. Most criticism centers on the lighter motor's limited power and range versus full-power eMTBs.

About the Specialized Turbo Levo SL 2 Comp Alloy

The Turbo Levo SL 2 Comp Alloy is a lightweight electric mountain bike for enduro and all-mountain riding. It combines a Specialized SL 1.2 motor with GENIE air spring technology, which gives coil-like control with the efficiency of an air spring. The bike is built for technical terrain, with better traction and less bottom-out on rocky trails and bumpy descents.

The SL 1.2 motor offers 43% more torque and 33% more power than its predecessor. The 320Wh battery gives up to 5 hours of ride time in Eco Mode. An optional 160Wh Range Extender fits in the bottle cage and adds 50% more range. The MasterMind TCU control unit lets the rider adjust the power.

The geometry is 6-way adjustable, so the head angle, bottom bracket height and suspension can be set to suit the rider and terrain. A mixed wheel setup pairs a 29" front wheel for stability and traction with a 27.5" rear wheel for quick handling.
