100km or it took you 3 hours last time; if you put this info into the Smart Control mode, the Mission Control app will adjust the amount of power you have available to make sure you make it to the end of the ride without the battery going flat. You can even set how much battery you want left so it won’t completely drain it - just in case the ride was a little longer than you remember. This is a very unique way to help you get the most range out of your bike.
WRAPPING UP
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time Levotating on this bike. It's a sign of things to come as technology progresses and trickles down the line, and we may start to see this type of performance reach even lower starting prices over the coming years. The eMTB market is continuing to grow and normalise, and bikes like the Levo make the riding experience seamless, espeically due to their clean looks. Naysayers who still complain that an eMTB is cheating should note that some of the fittest and strongest mountain bikers I
know spend hours on their eMTBs; they say it allows them more access to more fun, and I know we could all use more fun in 2022.
While I'd prefer some stronger tyres and larger rotors on the smaller sizes, this eMTB is a very capable bike that can be easily adapted to different riders, trails and adventures.
So, I guess you want to know the all important detail? Having danced around it for some time, I heaved the Levo Comp Alloy onto the scales which delivered a reading of 24.125kg. This was with a tubeless setup, bottle cage and pedals. 24kg is more than I expected and is testament to the work Specialized put into the way this bike rides. The hard work has truly paid off. And while bike brands are known to make grand statements, Specialized’s claim of unequalled ride quality, power usage and range is pretty accurate. Their Mission Control app paired with their adjustable geometry, new motor, 700Wh battery and latest suspension kinematics are truly impressive. Thanks for bringing all this to more affordable price points!
