Back in 2020, Specialized debuted the Turbo Levo SL, a thoroughly impressive electric mountain bike which, even today, continues to be competitive in the premium e-MTB market. That being said, Specialized, being the trailblazer that it is, has decided to give the Turbo Levo SL a thorough makeover. Now in its second generation, the electric mountain bike is lighter and better than ever before. Let's take a closer look.
To start with, Specialized has given the Turbo Levo SL a power bump. The first generation bike was powered by the SL 1.1 motor with just 240 watts of power and 35 Newton-meters of torque. This time around, the Turbo Levo SL gets a new motor with a 320-watt nominal output. That's 33 percent more oomph than the previous model. What's more is that the motor has a mechanical torque advantage, and spits out 43 percent more torque at 50 Newton-meters.
