The Specialized SL 1.2 Motor delivers unmatched performance, ride quality, and capability.
The Levo SL delivers unmatched ride quality and capability, amplified. For the trail rider who craves serpentine singletrack, sending it skyward, and lives for advancing skills and fitness. The Levo SL is designed to be the ultimate trail bike, offering an unmatched combination of flawless handling, capability, and “2 X You” amplification that provides the power to ride more trails.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE — When everything works just right, a bike disappears when you ride it. Specialized stripped away the mass to keep the Levo SL lean and responsive. It is tough enough to withstand heavy abuse, but light enough to nail big moves. Its dialed geometry, kinematics, and shock tuning leave nothing desired.
THE FRAME OF REFERENCE — Everything starts here. Lively, precise ride feel. Strategic carbon fiber layup provides super-responsive chassis stiffness. Specialized tuned the entire chassis—front end, rear end, and the link that unifies them—as a single unit to minimize lateral flex under pedaling to harness every bit of pedal force.
GEOMETRY OF CONTROL — The cockpit centers you in the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle, and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough while giving you the freedom to destroy the turns. The head angle can be personalized to 63, 64.25, and 65.5 degrees.
LESS IS MORE – The Levo SL is greyhound lean and telepathically responsive. Its curated component selection is light, yet capable—for true trail riding. Put it all together and you get the benefits of amplification along with benchmark handling.
MIXED WHEEL — A 29” front wheel ensures stability and surefooted performance in the most hectic terrain, while a 27.5” rear wheel allows for a compact chainstay and super responsive behavior. If you prefer the rolling and traction benefits of a 29” rear wheel, just flip the pivot link chip and mount the big wheel.
TURBO OPERATING SYSTEM — Specialized's seamlessly-integrated operating system delivers unmatched performance across torque, range, ride feel, ride quality, power, reliability, and rider experience. It is the invisible hand that enables you to do more, know more, go farther, feel stronger, and have more fun.
SPECIALIZED SL 1.2 MOTOR — The all new Specialized SL 1.2 motor is whisper quiet, boasts unmatched smoothness, delivers 43% more torque (50Nm), and 33% more power (320 Watts) than its predecessor. Resulting in “2x You” performance.
