You'd think by now that someone would have made an LED dynamo using just magnetic interference, other that that, it looks pretty hot, the integrated top tube swat tube and the new s-works go faster tassels really give you a sense of value with your purchase. Not to mention the new Stealth MTB frame really makes it an interesting buy for a lot of Dentists who want to appear more sublime with their ability on the trails .....

Lets be fair, Specialized kicked it out of the park compared to everything else at the time !

In the scheme of things, it's not really that different to gen2/gen3. Gen3 even moved back to a few Gen1 angles.

I can now unsubscribe from the thread. That thing is fugly. Never like pregnant l motor area on Spesh bikes and other like that, but this one got twins . Glad I got my Crafy which looks more like a bike than this one. I bet the Santa Cruz crown will rejoice seeing it.

You do know that the pic is of Turbo Levo Gen 1 like the first e-bike by Specialized

2026 Specialized Turbo Levo Release Date

www.mountainbikescanada.com

The key information from this article “Rumour: 2026 Specialized Turbo Levo. A Beefier SL Version”:


Motor System

• Specialized will no longer use the Brose motor and has instead developed its own proprietary motor.
• The new motor design is inspired by the Levo SL, with significantly reduced drag when the motor is off, offering a more natural pedaling experience.
• Two motor options are expected:
  • A powerful S-Works-only motor delivering 120Nm of torque, designed for aggressive riding and steep climbs.
  • A standard motor option with slightly less torque (exact figures not yet released), but still capable for most trail scenarios.

Battery System

• The 2026 Turbo Levo will feature three different battery options.
• This gives riders the flexibility to choose based on the type of ride—larger batteries for longer range or smaller ones for a lighter setup.
• The modular battery setup allows swapping batteries depending on ride length or terrain.

Frame and Design

• The new frame design is influenced by the Levo SL and the latest Stumpjumper.
• It is more streamlined, lighter, and aesthetically refined compared to previous versions.
• The redesign focuses on agility and responsiveness, enhancing the riding experience especially on technical terrain.

Suspension: Genie Shock

• The 2026 model introduces the Genie shock, an advanced suspension system.
• It adapts to terrain and rider input to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride.
• Described as having a "coil-like" feel.
• Adjustable geometry allows customization for different riding styles and trail conditions.

Weight

• The 2026 Turbo Levo is expected to be lighter than the predecessor
• The combination of a lighter frame, efficient motor, and battery setup contributes to improved handling and performance.
• Despite the weight reduction, the bike retains the premium feel associated with the Specialized brand.

Why would it be called the 2026 model, if it's coming out next month? When was this posted?

Its classed as model year 2026, like the gen 3 we currently have model year 2025 which were released in 2024

“ Compared to the Stumpjumper, the 2026 Turbo Levo is designed to be lighter and more striking.”

Ok… super SL.

That article is just AI generated rubbish and has been posted already. I am amazed at the amount of people being caught out by these AI generated waffle articles. Have noticed this a number of times on this forum.

So there we have it a Turbo Levo 2022 model and the brand new Stumpie 15 2025 model pretty cool the backbone of the frame

 

[DylanJM]

The 2021 Stumpy Evo, SJ15, Gen 3 Levo and Levo SL are all very similar geo wise. Specialized has it's formula and doesn't stray too far from it.

Yup makes sence if it works why fix it
I think allot of makes out there switch and change looking for that icon shape ie: the Stumpie

 

[Georgedukesa]

Exactly, AI generated also if you just google Specialized Gen 4 2026 gives you pretty much these same regurgitated information load of rubbish
We know
1: 110 Nm max on SWorks (probably the pro and expert will get a firmware update later on upgrading to same power)
2 : Brose backbone as motor streamlined by Spesh (No Belt drive)
3 Side loaded battery 840watts
Hotswopable with 600 and I think a 360w for lighter versions of the bike
4: obviously a Genie rear shock
5 Fox 36 forks (not sure of travel but prob 160 mm)
5 S works fast charger (80 % in 40 minutes (that’s twice the speed of DJI )
DJI does it up to 75% in 90 minutes)
6 Weight is speculative because of hotswop but chances are they keeping it over 20 kgs (dont think they want a lighter bike but a planted bike to handle power)
AND BEFORE I GET ASKED TO TAKE THIS DOWN ALL THIS INFO IS ON PREVIOUS THREADS
The geometry and lengths will be comparable to the Stumpie and SL
Just as a matter of interest I had a look at. 2022 Levo SL and the geometry is the same if not similar to the new stumpy15 so makes you wonder how long before releasing Stumpy they used that specific frame setup

Just as a matter of interest as well as for the weight Specialized Levo 2019 weighed in at 19.something KGs so weight is reasonably obtainable for sub 20kg BUT DO THEY WANT IT SO LOW Specialized knows exactly what they are doing with regards to the weight
I saw in one interview the guys were explaining sub 20 is not what they want to get to it’s not a goal for the Turbo Levo gen 4 etc

 

[rzr]

if you drop the weight by 1-2kg, something has to be weaker ....

 

[Georgedukesa]

Now if the new T Levo Gen 4 looks anything like this ….Its smoking hot

 

[smalltablehop]

Spesh Said levo can be under 20kg, they build a Version with 19.4kg. But OEM the Bikes are heavier, because they want a massive Bike. Maven is heavy, new butcher is heavy.. etc... Sorry 4 my english. S-works/pro is ~23kg, expert and comp Carbon ~24kg.
Motor is brose. But Not the new brose. Its a completly new brose,only for Specialized. S-works 111nm, other Models 101nm

800 wh for every bike, 600wh Aftermarket. 600wh 1kg lighter than the big one. Range extender with 280wh. Its possible to Ride with extender only, but with half Power.

First E-Bike with SWAT tool Box.
Looks Like Levo SL. A little more fat.

 

[rzr]

ok, with smaller battery you can save 1kg, with XC brakes, XC handlebar, XC wheels, XC tires - another 1-2kg ...
great

First E-Bike with SWAT tool Box

What's the difference in todays SWAT tool and "new"?

Toolbox? Damn, always handy to fix a busted pipe in the middle of the trail ...

 

[DylanJM]

What's the difference in todays SWAT tool and "new"?

Not the tool. They mean a SWAT storage box, like on the Specialized meat bikes.

great now we can store our doughnuts and hotdogs inside the bike instead of backpack
