Without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite up until last year was the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Generation Levo. Everything about it was just spot on for me \u2013 from the motor system to the size and geometry. So naturally, I was super excited to hear that a new generation Levo was on its way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialized Turbo Levo 4 Motor System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like any good e-bike review should start with some discussion around the motor system, particularly when it\u2019s a step up from previous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Turbo Levo 4 features Specialized\u2019s latest generation, full-power 3.1 Motor. If you\u2019re on an S-Works model, you\u2019ll be spoiled with 111Nm torque and 666w of power (or 850w since the recent over-the-air update), but the 105Nm of torque on the Pro spec and below is more than enough to shuttle you up even the steepest hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02056-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the motor system, the bike is supplied with a sizeable 840Wh battery. I\u2019m on the smaller side at 5\u201d3\/63kg so I do benefit from getting more range out of an e-bike battery than many of my friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, when I first got the bike I (foolishly, given the massive power increase), didn&#8217;t realise that the increase in battery capacity vs previous model doesn&#8217;t completely offset the huge increase in power. When my partner and I both had a Gen 3 Levo, my battery was lasting significantly longer \u2013 when I got the Levo 4 and had all the settings at max (and he was still on the Gen 3), I was finding that the battery was draining at a similar speed to his. Which is logical, when you think about it \u2013 the bike has had a big increase in power and torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we go out with our friends, especially in summer, most rides tend to be a \u201cride until your battery is flat\u201d kind of affair. And selfishly, I like the feeling of safety that my battery lasting longer than everyone else\u2019s provides. Pedalling a full-power, fairly long-travel e-MTB any further than a few hundred metres without the battery is never fun. I get battery anxiety, ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes a little bit against the grain given the great e-MTB power arms race thats happening in 2026, but I made my way into the Specialized App to fiddle with a few settings and bring the output of the bike back down to around what it would be in the Gen 3. Which then brought my range back to that sweet spot. In a ride during the summer where most of the uphills were completed in Turbo (the highest assist mode), I could easily get 5,000 metres of elevation out of the bike. If I were more conservative with the power, I\u2019m sure I could get 7,000+, but I\u2019m usually a bit pushed for time and the preference is to get the maximum amount of descending in as little time as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02091-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, if you ride any bike in turbo mode a lot, particularly one with this much power, it\u2019s going to drain the battery quicker than if you\u2019re more conservative with the assistance. But the system\u2019s adjustability means you can tweak the settings to work for your preferences \u2013 if you want to smash out some hot laps in full power turbo, you absolutely can (and you\u2019ll have the BEST time). If you want to make sure you can make it to the end of a long ride with plenty of battery, it&#8217;s easy to make that happen too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be a bit more clever with your battery usage, then dynamic microtune might be the setting for you. Rather than using the standard eco\/trail\/turbo settings, dynamic microtune allows you to increase support in 10% increments, meaning you can cruise at a lower output, but when you pedal hard, the bike will give you 100% power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing I love about the 3.1 motor is the refinement of the \u201coverrun\u201d feature. Overrun allows the motor to continue providing torque for a short while after you stop pedalling. The 3.1 motor offers a smoother transition and more precise power delivery. This is particularly noticeable on technical climbs, where the overrun allows you to get straight back on the pedals once you\u2019ve made it past a feature.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On previous e-bikes, when the terrain got technical, I would find myself with the occasional dead spot as I waited for the power to kick in, which at times caused me to stall. While I\u2019ll openly admit there is likely some rider error involved too (a good workwoman never blames her tools), it is noticeably easier to navigate the same terrain with the 3.1 motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intensity of the overrun feature can also be adjusted to suit a rider\u2019s preference \u2013 some find that it can take some getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll admit, I was a little sceptical of <em>how <\/em>exactly Specialized were going to improve an already incredible motor (the previous generation was already a huge step up from anything else I\u2019d ridden long term), but they have absolutely levelled it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00533-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Levo 4 Geometry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time I was convinced that a longer bike was better, and I probably spent more time than I should have riding bikes that were actually too big for me. Yes, a longer bike can offer improved straight-line stability, but at what cost? Although I absolutely can ride a medium bike (my first e-bike had a 445mm reach, with an absolutely monster wheelbase), it wasn\u2019t until I moved over to the previous generation Levo that I decided to rein things back in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 5ft3, the Levo 4\u2019s 435 reach on the S2 size feels spot on. I had to make some componentry tweaks (that I\u2019ll discuss later on) to make both seated and standing pedalling feel closer to what I\u2019m used to, but the geometry as a whole doesn\u2019t feel like it could be more perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A real bugbear of mine is when smaller bikes can\u2019t accommodate the full length of a dropper post (potentially rendering the lower seat height useless), and I\u2019m pleased to say that this isn\u2019t the case on an S2 Levo. The S2 features a 390mm seat tube length, allowing a post to insert all the way in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note, is that the Levo 4 S2 arrived with a 125mm dropper post, whereas the previous generation came with a 150mm post. This did mean I had to run the seatpost further out of the seat tube than on my previous bike, which took some getting used to but hasn\u2019t caused any issues since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Levo 4 features a 6-way adjustable geometry system. This allows you to fine-tune your setup to your individual preferences. Adjust your head angle, bottom bracket height and chainstay length to suit. For me, I prefer to run the bike in the more trail-focused settings. This means the bike feels more nimble and manoeuvrable on our mellower local trails. If I was spending an extended period of time in Wales or further afield, then I might consider switching the head angle to the slacker setting etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02087-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suspension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Levo Pro comes equipped with Fox Factory 38 Forks, and Specialized\u2019s own GENIE version of the Fox Float X Factory. I\u2019ve run Fox for the majority of the time I\u2019ve had mountain bikes, so it\u2019s a system I\u2019m very familiar with and feel confident works for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, initially I struggled to get the forks feeling right out of the box. Despite settings being where they should be, they still felt quite harsh. It was only after opening them up that I discovered they had come with 3 volume spacers installed from Fox. I definitely don\u2019t need 3 spacers. In all honesty, I don\u2019t need any at all. My weight and riding style don\u2019t require them (as uncool as it may sound, I\u2019m not much of a big hitter). Once the spacers were removed, the forks felt buttery smooth. I run between around 87 and 90PSI in the forks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GENIE shock was something new and exciting for the Levo 4. GENIE uses a dual air spring system across 2 connected air chambers that creates a flatter spring curve for the initial 70% of the shock\u2019s stroke. During the final 30% of the stroke, the outer chamber closes automatically, which decreases air volume and increases the progressive nature of the spring rate to soak up big impacts and avoid bottom-outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, GENIE was designed to feel more like a coil shock, while having the adjustability of an air shock. I do believe it lives up to the hype \u2013 it\u2019s very plush off the top, and the small bump sensitivity is fantastic. The first 70% of the travel provides a coil-like feel, and the last 30% provides an air-like ramp-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want to run a coil, or an alternative air shock, then you\u2019ll be pleased to know the Levo 4 is compatible with any 210x55mm aftermarket shock. But the GENIE is pretty special, so at least give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02100-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Groupset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping on the Levo 4 was the first time I\u2019d experienced using electric gears. The Pro spec bike comes fitted with a SRAM XO Eagle T-Type AXS Groupset that offers buttery smooth shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other benefit of T-Type is its durability. I\u2019ve had a few offs and meetings with the local foliage, and the rear derailleur has taken it all like a champ. Fitting the groupset aftermarket isn\u2019t cheap, but you can replace the derailleur cage, meaning unless something completely catastrophic happens, you\u2019ll be able to keep your mech running for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether one *needs* electronic shifting remains to be seen, but there are definite benefits that can\u2019t be ignored. Flawless performance under load, no more cable stretch and minimal maintenance certainly float my boat. And with most new high-end bikes coming equipped with electric groupsets, it feels like it\u2019s time to embrace it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02111-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SRAM Mavens are the brake of the moment, and with good reason. Their stopping power is unmatched \u2013 to the point I nearly shot myself out the front door on the first ride because I wasn\u2019t used to them. The previous Levo featured SRAM Code RSC\u2019s, which I got along with well. I felt they had plenty of modulation but enough bite to keep you out of trouble. The Maven\u2019s take stopping power to new heights. It did take me a couple of rides to get used to them, but I was soon feeling right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SRAM have since released an upgraded Lever Tuning kit, so if you do feel the Mavens don\u2019t match your preferences out of the box, you can upgrade your levers, giving you more predictable power delivery and lighter engagement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02150-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wheels &amp; Tyres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro model is specced with Roval Traverse HD hookless carbon wheels that utilise DT Swiss 350 hubs.

I\u2019d still lean towards a Hillbilly on the front for when conditions get really wild, purely for the deeper tread, but the Butcher is a really solid choice year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC02115-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finishing Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The S2 Turbo Levo 4 changed a few things vs the previous model that meant I had to have a play with my setup to get the bike feeling like I needed it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my previous Levo the cockpit was made up of a 35mm stem, and a 30mm rise bar. The Levo 4 came equipped with a 40mm stem and 20mm rise bars, which made the front end of the bike feel much further away. It\u2019s worth noting this won\u2019t be an issue for everyone; bike fit is highly individualised, and I\u2019m quite sensitive to changes, particularly when the geometry is largely the same. A simple swap out to a 35mm stem and 40mm bars gave me the adjustment I needed to get the bike feeling spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also mentioned the seatpost previously \u2013 on my last bike I had a 150mm dropper post, slammed right into the seat tube. The 125mm Bike Yoke Revive Max 3.0 on the Levo 4 means I have to run it higher out of the seat tube to get the correct seated position, which again took some getting used to. But now feels completely familiar. If you absolutely must have a longer seat post, the seat tube has ample space to swap it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/balf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/07\/DSC00558-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialized Turbo Levo 4 Pro &#8211; Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gen 3 Turbo Levo was my favourite bike of all time. Not just favourite e-bike, because ultimately the motor should be secondary to how the bike rides and feels as a complete package. So I wondered how the Levo 4 could possibly be any better. But the clever folk at Specialized know what they\u2019re doing, and the Levo 4 has exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The geometry still suits me perfectly, and the bike as a whole just works. That said, I do need to give a shout-out to the motor system \u2013 as I mentioned earlier, it\u2019s noticeably levelled up and allowed me to tackle terrain with confidence that would previously have proven quite tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for your first e-MTB, or to upgrade from an older model, then the Specialized Turbo Levo 4 should be on the top of your list. It\u2019s the whole package \u2013 great motor system, big battery and above all else a fantastic bike to ride, e-MTB or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.balfesbikes.co.uk\/bikes\/specialized\/electric-bikes\/electric-full-suspension-mountain-bikes\" style=\"background-color:#e2a854\"><strong>SHOP SPECIALIZED LEVO<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Queenie here.
