SPECIALIZED LEVO SL EXPERT
When Specialized broke cover with the Levo SL, a lightweight eMTB with less power, less range and a higher price tag I wasn’t sure what to think. Despite being open minded I didn’t understand why anyone would want an eMTB that delivered less power. So I was eager to find out what the fuss was about. I reviewed the Specialized Kenevo earlier in the year, a bike that I feel was the start of a wave of super capable eMTBs with long travel, huge power and range. The Kenevo knows it is never going to be a welter weight trail bike and owns it. The Levo SL sits to the other end of the spectrum and does away with all the excess. Like many bikes, understanding their intended use and character takes an open mind and time in the saddle.
The Levo SL rounds out Specialized’s eMTB offering beautifully, letting riders choose from the lightweight Levo SL, the more powerful and trail ready Levo or the hard hitting shuttle beast that is the Kenevo. No other brand offers
