Specialized Turbo Levo market data, updated as new sales are recorded
The Turbo Levo is Specialized's full power electric mountain bike and it has done more to change perceptions of e-bikes than almost any other model. When it launched, mountain bikers were sceptical about motors on trails. The Levo won them over by being a genuinely excellent mountain bike first, with a motor that happened to be fitted.
The key is the motor integration. Specialized uses their own motor system rather than buying in from Bosch or Shimano, and they have hidden it so well that the Levo barely looks like an e-bike. The battery is inside the downtube, the motor is compact, and the frame geometry is proper mountain bike, not the weird, heavy proportions that plague cheaper e-MTBs.
On the used market, the Levo has strong demand. Battery degradation is the main concern and it should be your first question when viewing one. Specialized batteries are not cheap to replace, so a healthy battery adds real value.
It rides like a normal Stumpjumper. That is the best compliment you can pay an e-MTB. The motor assistance feels natural, the bike handles predictably, and the weight distribution is well managed. On the trail, you forget it has a motor until you notice you are climbing faster than usual without feeling wrecked.
The Turbo mode is enormous fun but drains the battery fast. Eco mode is where most riders spend their time, and it gives a subtle push that extends your range and lets you ride for longer without tiring. The suspension setup is the same quality as the non-motorised Specialized MTBs, which matters more than people think.
Mountain bikers who want to ride more laps. Riders coming back from injury who need assistance on climbs. Older riders who refuse to slow down. Anyone who lives in a hilly area and wants to spend more time descending and less time suffering uphill. Also increasingly popular for commuters with a long, hilly route.
The 2022 refresh is the one to get. It brought a bigger 700Wh battery, updated motor, and improved frame. The 2019 to 2021 models are still decent bikes but the smaller 500Wh battery limits range noticeably. The original 2018 Levo is showing its age now. For the best value, look at a 2022 Comp or Expert.
