2023 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert E-Bike

Climb more, lap more, and ride longer on the 2023 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert, a full-power carbon e-MTB with a FACT 11m carbon frame, mixed 29/27.5 wheels, and 150mm of rear travel. A stout FOX 38 fork and burly brakes back up the motor assist so the bike descends as hard as it climbs. With the pedal assist doing the heavy lifting, steep, technical climbs turn into some of the most fun parts of the ride.

Why we like it:

The mixed-wheel setup and Sidearm carbon frame keep this powerful e-MTB feeling agile and balanced rather than heavy and cumbersome on tight trails.

Who it's for:

It's for trail and all-mountain riders who want motor assistance to fit in more descents and tackle bigger loops in a day.

Highlights:

Built on a FACT 11m carbon Sidearm frame with mixed 29/27.5 wheels and 150mm of rear travel, this e-MTB runs a FOX 38 Performance Elite 160mm fork and a FOX FLOAT X2 Performance Elite shock. The drivetrain is a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed group, and SRAM Code RS four-piston hydraulic disc brakes deliver the extra stopping power a heavier e-bike needs.

Things to consider:

As a full-power e-MTB it is heavy and built to add descents and range through motor assist. Riders after a light, quiet, unassisted trail bike, or those who only ride lift-served laps, will be better served by something else.
