Do you really need all that travel? The Turbo Levo R says no

Turbo Levo R

Do you really need all that travel? We took the Levo R out for a rip in The Royal National Park and wow......so impressive, read on to find out what Mitch and Santiago thought of their time on the bike

First impressions by Santiago 

First of all, I don't consider myself a mountain biker; however, I love challenging myself and trying "new" things, this time the new shorter travel Levo R.
Dan and Mitch took me to Loftus trails for the first time and to say it was fun is an understatement. The Fox 36SL forks and Genie shock are the perfect pair, playful, supportive and even in the "rougher" trails/terrains they were able to take it with no issues at all.

The Levo R did not disappoint; for anyone riding locally like Mill Creek and/or Loftus, and wants to get on an eBike, this is your bike. I'll definitely go for another ride and may even turn myself more into a mountain biker!

First impressions about the Levo R - Mitch

We took the bike out for a quick ride out at the local trails at loftus, straight away I noticed the motor and how much I missed the trail tune that Specialized equip the motor with and it is outstanding.

We did take the bike on some trails that I have ridden many times and the bike was well suited to the fast flowy trails, but didn't shy away from some of the slower tech. The bike was very playful and easy to get off the ground and not once on the test trails did i find the bike getting overwhelmed. The genie shock is an outstanding pairing to the bike and really plays well into this shorter travel category with the bottomless feel. the fox 36sl up front didn't feel under gunned on the e bike and was a supple and supportive as ever and kept the bike composed over the rougher trails we took it on. I think anyone getting on this bike that rides locally at Mill creek or Loftus as their main trails would find that its a perfect pairing as the lightweight and playful nature brings the trails alive, as where a larger travel bike can feel "boring".

I really enjoyed my time on this bike and will look forward to getting back out on one again.

Does a short travel, full power E-MTB make sense, yes, yes it does. Most riders are way overbiked and this provides great snappiness and is super playful but still has the stability of a larger bike thanks to the motot and battery weight. 

If you just ride XC style trails with the occasional rowdy outing this bike is perfect for you. Or, if you love that feeling of being underbiked, the Levo R is for you.
