Levo Comp Alloy 2026 Gunmetal 1

Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4 Alloy is here. Smarter, More Powerful and more functions than ever.

The Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4 alloy is here—and it’s a game-changer. Building on the legacy of the Gen 3, this latest model delivers more power, better adjustability, and smarter design, all while maintaining the ride quality that made the Levo a benchmark in e-MTBs. We’ve already seen the new carbon Levo models but now the aluminium bike has all the latest features.

Why the Turbo Levo Gen 4 Stands Out

  •  Improved in every way over the Gen 3—except for a slight weight increase
  •  Removable side-loading battery adds convenience and internal storage
  •  Range extender compatibility effectively transforms it into a Levo SL
  • 666W motor with 101Nm torque delivers serious power
  • Fully tunable geometry and suspension for personalized performance
  • New color display is bright, intuitive, and easy to read.

Key Features of the 2025 Specialized Turbo Levo

  • All-new Brose-built motor designed by Specialized
  • Three battery options: 840Wh (standard), 600Wh (lightweight), 280Wh (range extender)
  • All new Lew 4 alloy frame with 150mm rear and 160mm front travel
  • MX wheel setup and adjustable geometry via flip chips and headset cups
  • Genie shock tech (comp alloy) for better traction and tunable air spring
  • Internal frame storage with magnetic stash bag and SWAT tool
  • Optional fast charger available soon. Fast charging: 0–80% in under 1 hour
  • Pricing: Base alloy £5199, Comp Alloy £5999

What’s New in the Turbo Levo Gen 4?

  • Completely redesigned frame—lighter, sleeker, and more structurally sound
  • Side-loading battery compartment improves structural integrity and ease of use
  • Stronger frame certified for forks up to 180mm travel
  • Improved centre of gravity with lower battery and range extender placement
  • Modular storage when using smaller 600Wh battery
  •  
  • Performance and Customization

The Gen 4 Turbo Levo offers unmatched customization:

  • Adjustable head angle (via headset cups)
  • Flip chip for BB height and chainstay length
  • Multiple battery configurations for weight vs. range optimization

Whether you're chasing maximum range, lightweight agility, or trail-tuned performance, the Turbo Levo Gen 4 adapts to your riding style.

With a completely new motor, battery system, and frame design, the Turbo Levo Gen 4 is more than just an upgrade—it’s a reinvention. Specialized has clearly aimed to reclaim its dominance in the e-MTB market, and it shows in every detail.

Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4: Revolutionary Range Extender, All-New Motor & Advanced Suspension

The 2025 Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4 introduces a game-changing feature: a fully independent range extender. Unlike traditional add-ons, this 280Wh battery can power the bike on its own, allowing riders to remove the main battery and enjoy a lighter, more agile ride. With a total weight of just 1.55kg (including cable), it reduces overall bike weight by 2.65kg—transforming the Turbo Levo into a nimble, SL-style e-MTB.

Two Bikes in One: Full Power or Lightweight Mode

  •  Run solely on the 280Wh range extender for reduced weight and improved handling
  • Max output of 400W in extender-only mode for extended range
  • Switch between full-fat e-MTB and lightweight SL setup in minutes
  • No other e-bike offers this level of modularity and flexibility

All-New Specialized 3.1 Motor: More Power, Smarter Design

The new Turbo Levo motor, still built by Brose but designed entirely by Specialized, is a ground-up redesign exclusive to this model. Key upgrades include:

  • Peak power increased from 565W to 666W
  • Torque boosted from 90Nm to 101Nm
  •  No belt drive – now uses full-metal gears with HardDrive coating for durability
  •  48V system for better thermal management and battery longevity
  • Over 100,000 miles of lab and field testing in extreme conditions
  •  Reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for a smoother ride

 

Mastermind Display & Controls: Apple Watch Tech on Your Top Tube

The new Mastermind display is a standout feature:

  •  Larger, Apple Watch-style color screen
  • Real-time metrics, tuning options, and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Low-profile wired remote with new toggle switch
  • Tool-free removal for diagnostics
  • Bright, easy-to-read interface designed for trail use

Suspension & Ride Dynamics: Tuned for Performance

  • 160mm front / 150mm rear travel remains unchanged
  • New symmetrical shock layout improves force distribution
  • Genie air shock tech allows tunable progression and plushness
  • Fox Float X Factory shock with custom damping tune
  •  Fox 36 fork on Comp model and Marzocchi Bomber Z1 on base alloy

Final Thoughts: Is the Turbo Levo Gen 4 the Most Versatile e-MTB Yet?

With its dual battery modes, exclusive high-performance motor, and advanced suspension tuning, the Turbo Levo Gen 4 offers unmatched versatility. Whether you're chasing long-range power or lightweight agility, this bike adapts to your ride style like no other.
