Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

18 reasons to buy

Specialized’s 2.2 motor puts out 90 Nm of torque and 565 W at peak. Experts confirm a powerful ability to tackle climbs and obstacles.

Power delivery is described as “smooth and consistent” by reviewers .

The Turbo Levo Comp is available with a Carbon Fiber or Aluminum frame.

Reviewers are impressed by the versatile range of ride styles offered by the Turbo Levo Comp’s six geometry settings.

Testers say the bike’s mullet wheel setup combines the speed and rollover capability of a 29” front wheel with 27.5” agility in the rear.

Test-riders are impressed with the Turbo Levo Comp’s range, covering 35 mi in real-world conditions.

150 mm of rear suspension proved more than adequate for testers’ requirements.

From ride reports, this suspension setup provided testers with a smooth ride over rugged terrain.

Testers say the 160 mm Fox 36 Rhythm fork can handle all Trail and Enduro duties.

Reviewers laud the comfort of both the Turbo Levo’s seating position and its extended reach.

Specialized’s Mission Control App allows riders to customize the power output of assist levels.

A low center of gravity impressed reviewers, by enhancing stability and maneuverability.

Six different sizes accommodate riders from 4’11” to 6’8”.

Experts say the SRAM GX 12-speed drivetrain delivers boatloads of range.

Testers say the X-Fusion Manic dropper post delivers a consistent and smooth action.

Reviewers relished the comfort of the Specialized Bridge Comp saddle.

A 'double cover' keeps dust and water out of the bike’s charging port.

Unlike many e-MTBs, the Turbo Levo not only fits a side-pull bottle cage, it comes with one.

7 reasons not to buy

Some testers don’t see the bike’s higher price as the reflection of a particularly superior build.

On the Comp Alloy, experts admonished SRAM Code R brakes for being “underwhelming”.

Reviewers would like to have seen a rear tire equipped with a stronger casing.

The Turbo Levo Comp does not feature a handlebar-mounted digital display.

Experts say competitors offer bigger batteries than the 700Wh M3-700 on the Turbo Levo Comp.

Bottom line

The Specialized Turbo Levo Comp is the ‘more affordable’ version of this marque’s e-MTB mainstay, sitting one notch above entry-level. There’s no doubt that this bike blew away reviewers and owners equally, impressing with power, handling and range. The Levo Comp handles both Trail and Enduro environs with nary a fret. Since 2021, the Comp has seen a battery upgrade to 700 Wh. It rocks a 29”/27.5” mullet setup, which suggests a mix of speed and agility to testers. Owners have access to six geometry settings, by chainstay-mounted flip chips and changing-out head cups. On the downside, some components underwhelmed at this price, including Code R brakes and a piddly rear tire casing.
