Component selection was focussed on this goal, with trail-reliability and performance primary, light-weight secondary. Mass is the Enemy of Performanceīy now hopefully it’s clear that our primary goal with the Levo SL was to build the ultimate trail bike. 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, float through them, or nail the inside lines. The generous cockpit centers you on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. That is exactly what we designed the Levo SL to do by blueprinting the adaptable, super-adjustable geometry from the Stumpjumper EVO, winner of multiple Trail Bike of the Year awards. You need to be able to snake effortlessly through the switchbacks and at the same time confidently send it skyward with ease and precision. Supremely confident trail manners are derived from progressive geometry honed over four decades of making trail bikes. Our Rider-First Engineered™ process delivers the optimal balance of tuned stiffness, weight, and ride quality from all six sizes, ensuring every rider experiences the same ultimate trail ride characteristics. Our FACT 11M composite technology employs advanced FEA and Machine Learning to guide the shape, material usage, and layup schedule to realize class-leading chassis stiffness in all handling-related metrics (lateral, torsional, and bottom bracket.) We tuned the entire chassis-front end, rear end, and the link that unifies them-as a single unit to minimize lateral deflection under pedaling to harness every bit of pedal force. Trail Optimised ChassisĮverything starts here, with a frame that delivers a lively, precise ride feel. Basically, we thought of everything, so you don’t need to think about anything. Build it tough enough to withstand heavy abuse, but so light and nimble that you can floss through technical sections without thinking maybe most of all, the collaboration between our highly experienced engineering team in Germany working with the Ride Dynamics team in California defined the ride envelope of the chassis and kinematics, while creating the perfect shock tune all balanced with the center of gravity of the SL 1.2 system, resulting in a ride plush enough that you remain cool, calm, and collected while sending the chunkiest lines. Strip away the mass and keep it lean, taut, and responsive, so the bike becomes an extension of you. When it comes to next-level trail performance, less is always more. So the Levo SL was engineered to disappear, delivering the pure experience of flying over the trail on a bike that translates your inputs so faithfully that you drop into a flow state. The highest praise a bike can receive is that it disappears when you ride it. The Ultimate Trail Bike now comes equipped with the Power to Ride More Trails. Once we set the bar of ride quality with handling, capability, and personalisation unmatched by any trail bike (with or without a motor), we boosted the experience with the unbelievably natural ride feel of our unique, advanced, fully integrated, and whisper-quite Turbo SL 1.2 system, which we hopped-up with 43% more torque and 33% more power than its predecessor. That’s why goal number one for the Levo SL was ride quality on the trail. If you’re the second kind (like us) you know what we mean when we say it’s all about the ride. Since you’re reading this we’re betting that you either grew up around bikes, or you grew up ON bikes. Turbo SL 1.2 system offers increased torque and power, and a whisper quiet, natural ride feel.Ĭheck out the press release here: When You Know, You Know - It’s All About The Ride The new bike features Stumpjumper EVO Geometry, adjustable geometry, a mixed wheel platform, and Specialized Ride Dynamics tuned suspension. Specialized have amplified the ride quality on the Levo SL which first launched back in 2020.
