Get Ready to Rally. The Specialized Turbo Levo R Expert is a lightweight and agile full-power electric XC Trail e-MTB designed to deliver responsive handling, controlled power, and an engaging ride across the trail. It combines the SuperNatural power of the Turbo 3.1 motor with a purpose-built 140/130 mm chassis, Rally-tuned geometry, and XC Trail-focused suspension.

The Levo R chassis is 530 grams lighter than the Levo 4, while complete Levo R models are approximately 2.6 kg lighter than comparable Levo 4 models. This lightweight construction, dedicated 29-inch wheels, and carefully selected components create a lively and responsive platform designed for precise trail handling.

SuperNatural Power and Control

At the heart of the Turbo Levo R is the Specialized Turbo 3.1 motor, delivering up to 810 watts of peak power and 105 Nm of torque. Its rider-focused integration of sensors, motor, and software provides smooth and intuitive assistance, helping deliver controlled acceleration and consistent traction across challenging terrain.

The motor's power delivery is designed to provide natural-feeling assistance when tackling technical sections, low-speed riding, and steep climbs. Adaptive algorithms monitor rider torque, cadence, and speed to regulate assistance with precision and help maintain traction across changing trail conditions.

Durability and Efficiency

The Turbo 3.1 motor is designed for durability and efficient operation. Full-metal gears with HardDrive coating contribute to reliable performance, while the decoupled drive-side housing helps reduce unwanted drivetrain noise. CoreCoat further helps quiet the motor while supporting effective cooling.

Lightweight Rally-Tuned Chassis

The Levo R uses a purpose-built 140 mm front and 130 mm rear chassis developed around agile XC Trail riding. The chassis is 530 grams lighter than the Levo 4, and complete Levo R models are approximately 2.6 kg lighter than comparable Levo 4 models.

Dedicated 29-inch wheels and a lightweight component selection complement the chassis, creating a responsive platform that is designed to feel precise and lively on the trail.

GENIE Suspension

The Levo R Expert features GENIE suspension technology, combining the comfort and control associated with a coil-sprung feel with the bottom-out resistance of an air spring.

The 130 mm GENIE FOX FLOAT Performance Elite rear shock is designed to provide increased comfort, traction, and control across changing trail conditions while helping the bike remain composed through larger impacts.

Rally Geometry

Levo R geometry lowers the center of gravity and positions the rider forward to support controlled handling and efficient power delivery. The adjustable geometry allows the ride characteristics to be tuned to different trails and riding styles.

Integrated SWAT Storage

The FACT 11m Carbon frame incorporates SWAT storage, providing practical space for essential trailside repair equipment without requiring additional external storage solutions.

Rally-Ready Component Package

The Turbo Levo R Expert features a lightweight and carefully selected component package designed to maintain responsive handling. Roval Traverse SL2 wheels with I9 1/1 hubs provide the wheel platform, while 2.4-inch Purgatory tires are selected to balance speed, grip, and trail flow.

Configurable Battery System

The Levo R uses a modular battery system that allows the bike to be configured according to your riding priorities. The standard 840 Wh battery provides substantial range, while the optional 280 Wh Range Extender can increase total range to up to 5 hours. A 600 Wh battery option is also available for riders prioritizing lower weight and agility.

Optimized voltage and 1:27 gearing help improve the Turbo 3.1 system's efficiency. Higher operating RPMs and voltage help reduce current draw and heat, supporting increased range from each charge.

Smart Charging

The Specialized 12-amp, 700-watt Smart Charger is designed to charge the 840 Wh battery from 0% to 80% in under an hour. Eco Mode and the charge-to-80% function provide additional charging options for everyday riding and long-term battery care.

Connected Turbo Technology

The Turbo Levo R can receive over-the-air updates to help keep its software and riding experience current. Specialized connected features also provide additional control, ride recording, security, and customization options.

• Apple Watch Integration: Track heart rate and record rides through the Specialized app.
• Auto Record: Automatically starts and stops ride recording.
• Turbo System Lock: Helps deter unauthorized use by locking the Turbo system.
• Apple Find My: Helps locate and keep track of the bike through Apple Find My integration.
