THE POWER TO RIDE MORE TRAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The all-new 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo is a ground-up redesign of a bike that doesn\u2019t just set the bar for e-mountain bikes\u2014it embodies it. And for the record, that\u2019s saying a hell of a lot. Now, it takes everything that Specialized have learned from the latest Stumpjumper development and incorporates it into a slimmer, stiffer, more playful, and incredibly capable chassis.<\/p>\n

Specialized cleaved kilos from the chassis and motor. In the process, they made their lightest and best handling full-suspension, e-mountain bike to date. From there, Specialized designed an all-new Technology System for the 2019 Levo that boosts the bike\u2019s range by a staggering 40%, so riders now have the power to ride more trails than ever before.<\/p>\n

Finally, Specialized put more control, adjustability, and connectivity at your fingertips with a handlebar-mounted remote control, a sleek top tube display (TCU), and a totally redesigned, intuitive Mission Control app that provides an unrivalled ability to personalise your Levo\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THINGS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Specialized\u00a0built a trail riding brain trust in Cham, Switzerland. And along the way, they created a different way of doing things.<\/p>\n

Picture 19 mechanical and software engineers from 6 different countries\u2014a crusty United Nations of dirt addicts that are designing completely unique and innovative components after, and only after, they\u2019ve first dreamed up an amazing frame.\u00a0 They started with the chassis, because the bike needed to be nimble. It needed to be fun. It needed to inspire you to ditch your responsibilities and go chase the longest, most epic rides possible.<\/p>\n

When those are your goals, you don\u2019t buy parts off the shelf and cobble a frame together around them. Instead, you flip the bird to the status quo and design a trail-hugging, corner schralping chassis first. And only then do you engineer the smoothest, most silent, intuitive, and powerful technology system available.<\/p>\n

This is not the easy path to awesome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Specialized’s accounting department grumbles a lot. And they get it\u2014it\u2019s hard to reach the engineering staff for Monday morning meetings when they\u2019re, yet again, off conducting \u201cDer Singletrack Research\u201d somewhere in the Swiss alps. But it is how they build the best bikes in the world.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s how they built this 2019 Turbo Levo.
