Finally, we have a proper electric mountain bike with the power, torque and battery range to handle tough rides. The Specialized Levo 4 is ready to take on whatever you can throw at it. Get up to 720 watts of power with 111 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque.

Most e-bikes or electric bikes are designed for road and city-riding. Sure, they can go up steep inclines and traverse what you might call tougher terrain compared to your average pedal bike, but they’re certainly not meant for off-trail or even conventional trail use. For that, you need a tough mountain bike. Unless you have the Specialized Levo 4, an electronic mountain bike that was made from the ground up for tough rides. It delivers unparalleled control, smart integrations and exceptional battery range. Because who wants their bike’s battery to die in the middle of a ride? That’s not all it offers, however. Thanks to the powerful features, you’ll feel almost superhuman as you glide over even some of the gnarliest terrain out there.

What’s also interesting about the Levo 4 is that it’s available in various customizations. They’re different trim levels from base to pro up to maximum performance with the S-Works model. Integral to its operation, the GENIE suspension technology ensures every ride is seamless and fun. Class-leading power and torque work together to boost performance beyond limits you’d ever see on a comparable bike. Get up to 720 watts of power with 111 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. The up to 1,120 watt-hours capacity battery can sustain up to 4.75 hours of Super Range riding time. Meanwhile, when it’s time to charge, the battery will go from 0% to 80% in under an hour thanks to the 5-amp 200 watt charger. If you want to charge even faster, you can grab the optional 12-amp 700 watt Smart Charger for a next-generation power boost.

What smart features does the Levo 4 electric mountain bike have?

Starting with the MasterMind advanced control unit, it’s a large and high-resolution display built into the bike. Resting in a central location, below the handlebars and on the crossbar (top tube) it provides all the stats and data you need, at a glance. See real-time data about your ride, like speed, distance, battery life and much more. It’s fully customizable, too. But the system seamlessly connects to other devices via Bluetooth, like your smartphone. You can access Micro Tune options to fine-tune amplifications from the mobile app, adjusting settings in 10% minimal increments — to make sure it doesn’t throw you off your game.

Built-in theft protection thanks to the Turbo System Lock means you don’t have to worry about someone making off with your bike if you take a quick break or stop for a picnic nearby. That’s before even digging into the tires, traction control, frame or drivetrain — it’s an SRAM S1000 Eagle T-Type AXS with a 1270 Transmission Cassette, 12 Spd,10-52t, by the way.

Honestly, there’s a lot more we haven’t touched on, that we probably couldn’t cover in worthy detail. The Specialized Levo 4 electric mountain bike is one of those unique innovations you just need to see to believe. No words can do it justice.

Who is it for?

Bikers, obviously, but those who like a rough and tough ride with a bit of modern engineering. This e-MTB or electric mountain bike is ready to take on whatever you can throw at it.
