Levo Gen 3 Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy Base vs. Comp

[nchao]

Hi all,

I'm trying to decide between the 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy Base model vs. Turbo Levo Comp (about $1.5k difference).

I'm probably an intermediate rider (I ride blues and blacks on the North Shore).

I was reading that the main upgrade from the Base to Comp is the battery and the second biggest upgrades are the brakes and suspension. Using the calculator on the specialized website, it said that my range (climb and distance) on the base 2021 Levo is about 4 times what I do on my non-ebike. This makes it seem like the 500Wh to 700Wh battery upgrade is not necessary for me. Therefore, it seems like I should go with the base model.

What do y'all think? Should I go with the base model or is there anything that I'm missing or am wrong about?

Thanks!

I had a similar dilemma with the battery and ended up going base model. For me it’s been enough no regrets. I actually used the savings to buy some Magura mt7 brakes and upgraded suspension
