Our Whistler Store Manager, Kian, tested the new Levo 4 (ALOT), and it genuinely exceeded his expectations for agility and power delivery on challenging Sea-to-Sky terrain.
At Comor, we don't just sell the gear; we ride it. The arrival of the Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4 has been highly anticipated, and after rigorous testing on the demanding trails around Whistler this summer, our dedicated tester, Kian, can confirm: this bike is a major step forward in e-MTB performance.
While the new Levo maintains its full-power stance and all-day battery capacity, the true revolution lies in the software and system integration, making this rig of the most intuitive and confidence-inspiring e-bikes Kian has ever ridden.
Why the Levo Gen 4 is a Game Changer: Kian’s Take
Immediately obvious is how Specialized transformed the ride feel—making the bike ride far lighter and with more agility than its specs suggest.
1. Power That Feels Intuitive: Torque Vectoring & Quiet Operation
The biggest technical advancement, and the most noticeable on the trail, is the improved power delivery from the new Specialized 3.1 Motor System.
"The upgraded torque vectoring system delivers power precisely when and where it is needed, contributing to a more responsive and efficient ride."
The bike senses your pedal input with incredible precision, providing assistance so smoothly it feels like an intuitive extension of your own legs (what Specialized calls "SuperNatural" power delivery). This subtle, non-jolting power makes technical, low-speed climbs and tricky root sections easier to clean than ever before. As an added benefit, refinements like CoreCoat winding encapsulation have made the motor significantly quieter, focusing the riding experience back on the trail, not the machine.
2. Auto Mode: The Smart Way to Ride
A highlight for all-day trail riding, especially according to Kian, is the improved 'Auto' mode. Instead of constantly toggling between Eco, Trail, and Turbo, the Gen 4 intelligently adapts.
-
Convenience: The system monitors your effort and the terrain, automatically adjusting the support level. This lets you climb efficiently on mellow traverses and then instantly access full power for punchy steep sections.
-
Focus: Less time fiddling with controls means more time focusing on lines, loam and flow, dramatically enhancing the rider experience.
3. Stability Meets Agility
Despite retaining a robust, full-power e-MTB chassis (complete with integrated SWAT storage in the down tube), the Levo Gen 4 surprised Kian with its downhill prowess.
"On challenging, technical trails and jumps, the Levo Gen 4 instills a high level of confidence. During testing in Whistler, it exceeded my expectations, allowing for comfortable, controlled, and confidence-inspiring ride."
This high level of confidence is thanks to refined geometry, a stiff frame, and advanced suspension kinematics (featuring the new GENIE suspension - rear shock and Fox 38 fork on some models). The result is a bike that feels planted and stable at high speed, yet remains surprisingly quick and playful in tight corners and technical descents.
Why Comor Recommends the Levo Gen 4
The Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 4 isn't just an e-bike with bigger numbers; it's a completely refined riding system. It addresses the common e-bike trade-offs (weight, complex controls, clunkiness) by using smart technology to deliver a ride that feels remarkably natural.
If you're looking for an e-MTB that allows you to dominate challenging terrain, climbing faster, descending with more confidence, and spending less time fiddling with setting, the Levo Gen 4 sets the new standard.
