Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Specialized Turbo Levo 4. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
15 reasons to buy
- Specialized offers the Turbo Levo 4 in four builds.
- Reviewers praise the bike's composure on descents, thanks in part to the "centered" riding position.
- Experts commend the Turbo Levo's precise and intuitive handling.
- The bike feels lighter than it is when on the trail, thanks to the balanced weight distribution.
- Experts say the motor provides natural and intuitive power that makes slow, technical maneuvers possible.
- The Turbo Levo has shock and chainstay flip-chips and an adjustable head angle (three positions).
- In a range test (S-Works build), a 160lb reviewer gets 23 miles and 4,000 feet of elevation using Turbo and Trail modes.
- Testers of the Turbo Levo S-Works say the powerful motor makes light work of steep, techy climbs.
- Dynamic Micro Tune PAS mode allows riders to cruise at a lower support level but trigger 100% support by pedaling hard.
- Reviewers enjoy the plush, custom-tuned GENIE shock's bottomless feel, absorbing both small and big hits.
- The 2.3” Specialized Butcher GRID GRAVITY tires offer impressive traction in a variety of trail conditions.
- The S-Works build includes a 12A charger for a 1.5-hour charge. The other builds come with above-average 5A chargers.
- Testers appreciate the internal down tube storage and the multi-tool in the steerer tube.
- The Turbo Levo 4 can be configured to Class 1 (20mph) or Class 3 (28mph) via the display.
- Specialized provides registered bikes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, Roval wheels, and suspension pivot bearings.
6 reasons not to buy
- The electronic SRAM derailleur won't shift if the bike is turned off.
- At 52.21lb to 53.81lb, the Turbo Levo 4 is heavy for a full-power e-MTB, and testers say they feel it after long rides.
- An expert says the heavy front end requires a lot of effort to lift.
- The high weight reduces the playfulness on tight trails, according to reviewers.
- One reviewer finds the motor sometimes hesitates before kicking in after coasting.
- Some testers feel the S-Works build’s higher torque and peak power is overkill and unnecessary on proper singletrack.
Bottom line
The Specialized Turbo Levo 4 is a full-power trail e-MTB with Specialized's 3.1 motor and an 840Wh battery. It's available in four builds. The bike's versatile geometry and suspension adjustments, battery choices, and highly tunable assistance impress. Experts relish the performance both up and downhill, highlighting the comfort, composure, and intuitive handling. The powerful and natural motor assistance helps overcome technical sections, but the high weight reduces maneuverability and increases fatigue on long rides. Reviewers agree the Turbo Levo 4 is an outstanding all-rounder e-MTB, although they feel the lower-end builds offer the best value.
