Gen 3 Levo is Specialized's latest Turbo Levo electric mountain bike. Here we have all the detail in full including geometry, suspension, mastermind TCU, extra water proofing and build details.
I met up with D.A. from Specialized UK for a ride and chat about everything Gen 3 Levo.
DISCLAIMER: Specialized paid for me to produce this video. This has allowed me to work with The Bike Pilot to film, capture and produce the video and therefore is market as 'Paid Promotion'. In no way did Specialized have any control or influence over the video, narrative or final content. I believe that being open and honest is important. The first time they see it is the same time as you. As brands now have direct access to YOU, my loyal audience via my channel, you deserve to know all the good stuff and bad stuff about the products I'm testing.
Prices:
Expert: £8750 / $11000 (US)
Pro: £10750 / $13000 (US)
S-Works: £13000 / $15000 (US)
All models come with Fox 38 and X2. Carbon frames and the Mastermind TCU.
Check out this Megathread on the new Gen 3 Levo at EMTB Forums: bit.ly/3u6lRbr
Expect availability to be low (like the entire bike industry) so if you are serious about buying get an order in at your local dealers asap!

2023 now and the Expert trim msrp is $11 K. They had it on sale for $8250 so I thought that sounded more reasonable as I wasn't about to drop $11 K. They didn't have my size in the Expert so I tested the S-Works and fell in love with the upgrades and lighter weight. Kind of feels like a different bike than the lower trim levels.Wasn't going to drop $11K now willing to pay $14200 on sale. I must be crazy but I'm old enough to get the best before my time is up.

Hi great video, I am waiting for my S3 levo comp carbon to be delivered. $6750 USD in the online winter sale. Now back up to $9k, couldn't resist my first e bike from a alloy comp epic which I love. I wanted to get my wife out more the new sizing means the S3 will fit her 5'4" and also me 5'10". So when she's out I'll be on my epic and when I'm out with my mate we will be on e bikes he's just bought a Obea H15. So it's his fault that I have pulled the trigger on the levo🤣.

Had mine for four days and I have ridden it every day. For what it is worth I have ridden it hard and got it wet and it seems much better around water ingress. I clean and air blow the area and intuitively more water is blown out and I can tell the motor is sealed much better. On that basis it could be called a masterpiece.

The thing is, why do you have to care for it like this? A motocross bike costing the same amount wouldn’t need all that care and, btw, before someone else says it, the weight penalty of keeping things working in the wet is very little different in said motocross bike. Oh, I know they sell more of the motocross bikes, but that accounts for all the other stuff on the bike. It absolutely does not account for it being perfectly fine being ridden at 30mph through deep mud-filled ruts... You just don’t have to blow-dry a motocross bike, although I will admit Berkshire Bike’s advice in Rob’s vid in 2019 is excellent. Sadly it didn’t protect my 2020 Levo, but that’s another story. Yes, let’s see how the blow-dried Gen 3’s with their Brose 2.2’s fare....

Try this. Just change your suspension to custom tuned DVO Onyx in the front and DVO Topaz in the rear and change the tires to Maxxis Assegai. This combo has made me the fastest I have ever ridden up or down technical and fat single track. Also consider decreasing your cranks down to 155mm with Merida. Super stable, fast and playful. Leave the flip in the low for speed and stability. Do this if you want to eek a couple more years out of your last model Turbo Levo and like the dual 29” combo. Just a thought.

Specialized have done a great job on this bike. I’m pleased they haven’t tried to lighten it. Keep full fat ebikes full fat! Keeping the divergence between this and the SL/lighter half power bikes Is the right way to go. The new motor casing and improved waterproofing around the power lead is very well designed. Personally I’ll be keeping my GEN 2 bike for a few more years yet, it’s still a fantastic bike. I’ve already fitted the 700 w/h battery and a wireless dropper and I’ve got the new GX AXS wireless shifter and controller coming this week. Might swap out the rear for a 27.5” but I like the all round ability of 29/29 and it suits the kind of riding I do. I’ll definitely be fitting the mastermind TCU when Specialized make them available. The one change I thought Specialized might do is to offer a plug in range extender like the SL. A 300 w/h bottle battery extender would’ve given the option of 1 kw/h for all day epic rides. Great company with world class customer care.👍 Great content Rob. Very professional. 👍

They’re taking all the suspension and swingarm design queues from dirtbikes and incorporating them to a mountain bike; all the way down to the rubber roost pad on the inside of the swingarm (chain stay and seat tube area for the pedaling folk).

Hi Rob. I am your height(193cm). I am more arms than legs, having an inseam of 83cm. After experiencing the S5 sized Levo, would you recommend the S5 or the S6 for me? Thanks.

As offensive as the price is, I'm more offended by the mix of sharp transition and fade on the paint job...

Yeah the S-Works paintjobs of the Gen3 are really no lookers. The matt red of the Pro version is nice though.

Looks great but 13K for a mountain bike puts it beyond anything most of us can afford. I'll wait for the aluminium framed bikes and by then we'll no doubt have info from the s work owners regarding the motor and if specialized have sorted all the issues they had with the previous gens.

That charging door is in the firing line for rock impacts. Bottoming the bike out. The charging door needs to be higher.. Also open the door to many times it will snap. Not a proper hinge.

The amount of advertising and KZfaqrs pushing this bike down our throats is sad. It is not worth that money. I’m not saying people won’t buy it…I’m just saying we let them take us to the cleaners.

I have the Gen 2 Levo that I love and I would like the new features of this one, but for this price I just can't even imagine spending 2x what my Levo costs.. I am thinking about buying a new vehicle and that is $16,000 when a bike costs almost that much that is absurd. When are we going to stop with the prices going up and up.. I would love to upgrade to the Gen 3 but I am NOT about to spend $12k on a damn bike.

How much motor noise is included in the price. The first gen was quiet. I still ride one. The second gen was too noisy for a bicycle and after two months I returned it and was refunded. Now nobody likes to talk about the noise in their reviews!
