We took the new Specialized Turbo Levo 4s to Mt Penn and thrashed them on some gnarly tech and sessioned some awesome jump lines. The stronger motor, bigger battery and all the new customization points were noticeable, and I feel make this the ultimate eMTB.

The Experience
Mt Penn in Reading PA has it all, including big rocks, slabs, and professionally built jump lines, making it the perfect testing ground for these Levo 4s. Will was on the Expert model, and I demoed the Pro. Outside of a few upgrades all models (except the s-works model) have the same battery, motor and tuneability, which is so awesome!
At 5’7 I found the S2 to be perfect size, and while the weight took me some time to get used to, the bike felt nimble in the tech and planted on the downhills. And when it came time to session the jump lines the Levo came alive! I only wished that I had more time to play with all the points of adjustability. Not only can you change the headtube angle, bottom bracket height, and chain stay length, but the new Genie shock makes this bike feel great in any terrain and situation.
Internally the new battery and stronger motor were also noticeable. Having the ability to fine tune how much power you want and when you want it delivered is a game changer. And while the Levo comes standard with the full-size battery, there is a smaller sized one and range extender also available. But even with the full-size battery, they still managed to include some SWAT storage above it in the frame.
All in all, I was really impressed with the Levo 4. If you want to see the full line up and get into the specs, check out the link below.
