Specialized Turbo Levo SL 2 Review: How It Rides on Real Trails

The Specialized Turbo Levo SL 2 is a 150mm travel, do-it-all lightweight eMTB built to be playful, capable, and fun trail smasher. In this review, we test the second-generation Levo SL, now updated with GENIE shock technology, multiple geometry options, and a lightweight 42.5 lb build. With several iterations behind it, the Turbo Levo SL has continued to evolve — but how does the latest version stack up against 12 of the best lightweight eMTBs in our 2025 Lightweight eMTB Shootout? We headed to Klamath Falls to find out. From drive unit performance and range testing to climbing, descending, and overall trail feel, this review breaks down where the Levo SL 2 shines.
