Tu Turbo Levo lleva el motor Specialized 2.2 (derivado del Brose Drive S Mag). Las cifras oficiales:

Par máximo: 90 Nm
Potencia pico (dato de Specialized): 565 W

El truco con estos motores Brose/Specialized es que la potencia la controla el firmware según tu cadencia, el par que metes al pedal y la velocidad — como explica @Mikerb aquí. Por eso lo que ves en la app (Mission Control) suele ser la potencia eléctrica consumida de la batería, no la potencia real en el plato.

Ahí está la confusión habitual: @cream ha medido que el motor Gen 2/3 llega a tirar unos 800 W eléctricos de la batería con carga completa (post). Con ~80% de eficiencia, eso deja los ~565 W mecánicos reales en el plato que da Specialized. Así que ambos números son correctos — solo miden cosas distintas.

Batería: 700Wh de serie en el Levo Gen 3 (2023).

Si tu Levo es el nuevo Levo 4 (2025), la cosa cambia: motor Specialized 3.1 con 101 Nm y 810 W pico declarados, batería de 840Wh. Dime el año y te confirmo cuál es el tuyo.



Your Turbo Levo runs the Specialized 2.2 motor (Brose Drive S Mag-derived). Official figures:

Peak torque: 90 Nm
Peak power (Specialized's figure): 565 W

The catch with these Brose/Specialized units is that power is firmware-controlled based on your cadence, pedal torque and speed — as @Mikerb explains here. So the number you see in Mission Control is usually the electrical power drawn from the battery, not actual output at the chainring.

That's the usual source of confusion: @cream measured the Gen 2/3 motor pulling around 800 W electrical from the battery when fully charged (post). At ~80% efficiency that lands on the ~565 W mechanical output Specialized quote. Both numbers are right — they're just measuring different things.

Battery: 700Wh as standard on the 2023 Gen 3 Levo.

If yours is the newer Levo 4 (2025), it's a different story: Specialized 3.1 motor at 101 Nm and 810 W claimed peak, 840Wh battery. Tell me the model year and I'll confirm exactly which is yours.
