Algupära
Turbo Levo SL saabus 2020. aastal kui Specializedi vastus küsimusele, mida keegi teine veel ei esitanud: mis siis, kui eMTB pedaaliks ja käituks nagu tavaline mägiratas, ainult veidi raskem? Ehitatud kerge sisemise SL 1.1 mootori (35 Nm, 240 W) ja 320 Wh sisemise aku ümber, kaalus esimese põlvkonna Levo SL umbes 17 kg — lähemal analoograttale kui täisvõimsusega Levole. Specializedi insenerid Morgan Hillis töötasid koos Mahlega Itaalias, et arendada originaalne SL ajamiüksus, seejärel tõid teise põlvkonna SL 1.2 täielikult ettevõttesisesse. Gen 2 Levo SL lasti turule 2023. aasta lõpus 43 protsenti suurema pöördemomendiga (50 Nm), 33 protsenti suurema võimsusega (320 W), segatud 29/27.5 ratastega, reguleeritava geomeetriaga ja 34–45 protsenti vaiksema mootoriga. Platvorm rajas kaasaegse kerge-eMTB kategooria, enne Trek'i Fuel EXe ja Orbea Rise'i.

Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Gen 2 carbon trims: FACT 11m full-carbon frame (front + rear triangle). A Comp Alloy trim uses an M5 aluminium frame. Both use a flip-chip near the rear axle to switch between mullet (29"/27.5") and full 29" rear wheel.
- Kahvel
- Fox 36 (Factory/Performance on carbon trims, Float 36 Rhythm on Comp Alloy), 160 mm travel (150 mm on S1 size)
- Jõuülekanne
- SRAM XX Eagle Transmission AXS 12sp (S-Works/S-Works LTD), SRAM X0/X01 Eagle Transmission AXS 12sp (Pro), SRAM GX Eagle 1×12 mechanical (Comp Carbon), SRAM NX Eagle 1×12 mechanical 11-50t (Comp Alloy)
- Pidurid
- SRAM Code 4-piston hydraulic disc, 200 mm rotors. Code Ultimate Stealth (S-Works LTD), Code Silver/RS (S-Works/Pro), Code RS (Comp Carbon), Code R (Comp Alloy).
- Rattad
- Mullet stock: 29" front / 27.5" rear; flip-chip allows full 29"/29". Specialized/Roval alloy or carbon (S-Works) rims depending on trim.
- Rehvid
- Specialized Butcher (front) / Eliminator (rear), Grid Trail casing, T7/T9 compound. Reviewers note the rear casing is too light for the bike's potential.
- Vedrustus
- Full-suspension, 150 mm rear / 160 mm front (144/150 mm on S1). Gen 2 rear uses the Genie shock (Fox Float X chassis co-developed by Fox + Specialized); Comp Alloy uses Fox Float X Performance.
- Rooliplokk
- Specialized/Roval alloy bar (carbon bar on S-Works), Specialized stem; dropper post lengths vary by size (reviewers ask for longer travel).
- Sadul
- Specialized Bridge saddle on a Specialized/X-Fusion dropper seatpost (travel scaled to frame size).
- Geomeetria
- Adjustable head angle ~63.8°–65.4° (three positions), ~470 mm reach (S4), 432 mm chainstays (all sizes), ~348 mm BB height; flip-chip ±~6 mm BB. S-1 to S-6 sizing. Balanced trail geometry, not a steep-climb specialist.
- Kaal
- From 17.4 kg (S-Works, Gen 2); ~17.71 kg minimum across carbon lineup; Comp Alloy ~20.1 kg (size S4, without pedals).
- Mootor
- Specialized SL 1.2 (Gen 2), 320 W peak, 50 Nm torque (Gen 1 SL 1.1 was 240 W / 35 Nm). Trail-tuned, full-power-feel low-assist; 34–45% quieter than SL 1.1.
- Aku
- 320 Wh internal (non-removable on Gen 2 carbon); optional 160 Wh bottle-cage range extender → 480 Wh total.
- Ekraan
- MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) with color Gorilla Glass display in the top tube, up to 120 display configs, ANT+ & Bluetooth, Mission Control app. Comp Alloy uses the simpler TCU color display.
- Sõiduulatus
- ~45–55 km / 3:30–4:30 h on 320 Wh internal (Eco); ~32 km with 1000 m climbing on a single charge; extend with the 160 Wh range extender (480 Wh total).
- Abiklass
- EU EPAC / L1e-A pedelec — assistance limited to 25 km/h, 250 W rated; SL 1.2 320 W is a peak figure within EPAC limits.

Verdikt
+Tugevused
- Class-leading lightweight chassis (from ~17.4 kg) that pedals and handles almost like an analog trail bike, with minimal drag when the motor is off.
- Highly adjustable, adaptable geometry — three head-angle positions, BB flip-chip, and mullet/full-29 wheel conversion let riders tune the bike to terrain and style.
- Excellent suspension feel: 150/160 mm with the Fox-developed Genie shock delivers some of the best descending composure in the light-eMTB class.
- SL 1.2 motor is among the quietest eMTB drive units (34–45% quieter than SL 1.1) and feels natural rather than over-assisted.
- Polished ecosystem: MasterMind TCU, Mission Control app, and optional 160 Wh range extender give strong day-to-day usability.
−Nõrkused
- Motor lacks outright torque and power (50 Nm / 320 W) — riders accustomed to full-power eMTBs cannot keep up on steep climbs.
- Small 320 Wh internal battery limits range (~32 km with 1000 m of climbing); the range extender adds cost and uses the bottle-cage mount.
- Component spec is mean for the price on lower trims — NX drivetrain and basic SRAM Code R brakes on the Comp Alloy lack power and feel relative to its cost.
- Stock rear tire casing is too light for the bike's capability — it deforms and is prone to pinch flats/tears on rough terrain.
- Dropper posts are shorter than rivals and the display, while functional, is less refined than the newest competing units.

Kellele sobib
Trail riders who value handling and on-trail feel over raw assistance, especially those who can't or won't accept the weight penalty of a full-power eMTB. Ideal for riders shuttling between analog and electric bikes, those riding flowy singletrack rather than steep alpine descents, and lighter or older riders who want help with climbs without a 24 kg machine.
