Let me tell you that I have both, Turbo levo alloy and this one that I bought right now Turbo levo SL, Well I use the SL more because it is lighter, I changed the bike rack for the normal ones, it is lighter to take it everywhere, and the engine gives you the push you need. I like it more .

The bike is amazing. What i didn’t realize when debating this purchase was how much more time I’d spend ridding with an electric assist mtb. The beauty of this bike is it doesn't matter if I’m tired after work or I’m not feeling hydrated, or I’m sore. I still want to ride and on those days inevitably once I’m on the trail I get loosened up and tone down the assist as I get going. Just knowing that I have the back up gets me out the door 3x as much as with my conventional bike. I’m also finding that I’m getting to ride a way larger variety of trails. There are plenty of trails that I’d avoid on days that I wasn’t feeling peek but now It doesn't matter. I got on the waitlist for an electric pickup truck because of how impressed I am with this electric mtb, that’s how good it is.

Great ride, very plush suspension from small bumps to big hits it handles it all. Now I can keep with my son. Plenty of power even on ECO mode. Makes 50 year old legs feel like 30!

I raced locally for many years on Epic and still enjoy it. Getting close to mid 70 my grandkids started to wait for me so I got Levo SL. Now I can ride with my kids (about cat 2 40-45 yrs) or I can at least double the length of my rides and again average 10 mph + on the trail. Goin from X-country to trail bike was not as easy as I expected, it took several month to adjust. Anyway - this bike gives you back 10-15 years of age - what more is there?!

seamless and super easy

I was on the fence about e-bikes, right up until my first ride on the Levo SL. I knew I didn’t want a full fat e-bike but also knew I wanted more laps after work and when my schedule didn’t allow for a long day. The Levo SL has been perfect for maxing out after work rides and also for recovery rides after big days on my acoustic bike. Word of caution, this bike will NOT keep up with your buddies on big motor e-bikes. And depending on your fitness and terrain it might be more of a workout than you want if you have ultra-fit riding buds.

I love this bike! It handles like a dream and is extremely comfortable. The SL level pedal assist is more than enough for anything I’ve thrown at it.

After 4 months I absolutely love it! I ride in 'eco' mode with manual riders. I've no previous experience of e-bikes and the SL feels like a conventional mtb to me (except you're riding in stronger form than usual). Of course you have to ride it like one, making use of the full gear range etc.. A big plus is support feels non linear by which I mean as ascents become steeper they actually feel easier unlike riding a manual. I'm not a great technical rider but techie stuff seems so much easier and confidence building on the SL. I tend to ride in 'trail' mode when riding with other emtb riders (if you don't want to fall behind on the hills) or when just feeling lazy! Note that you won't be able to storm up hills with full fat emtbs climbing in 'turbo' which has little interest for me - and makes you very unpopular with acoustic riders anyway. Likely have better traction though. Negatives: No X01 chain (at this price!). .No USB charging port. At 71 I'm retired so money well spent!

So fun to ride - the carbon makes it feel like my "regular" bike. Of course it was a lot of $$$

I have both levo turbo and levo turbo SL. The SL is literally over 10 lbs lighter and way more maneuverable through technical trails and jumps. The less expensive Levo Turbo does have more power and is great for climbing. I am getting a new SL again. Way better bike for overall performance.

I split my time between the LEVO SL and my 22 EVO. For those days that I don't want to push very hard, but still get those extra rides and miles in, the LEVO SL is perfect. The biggest bonus is that it's still light enough to maneuver, jump and feels like an analog mtn bike like my EVO. If you are looking for an Bike with just a little bit of assist here and there and still want to put the work in, this is IT!

Early days yet but the bike is so well balance and handles like a dream. It looks so big but rides so small. The real test will come when I get the bike to the mountains this summer. Hoping hike-a-bike gets cut way back. Much faster down here in the flatlands of course. As with my wife’s Como, this bike is so well designed and the assist so well integrated. Reviews have said the only issue is the handlebars are a bit crowded. I agree but all else is sweetness and lite!

I said the same thing when I crossed over from windsurfing to kitesurfing..... BUT...What a ride! The maiden voyage was a 30 miler and I recorded it on Strava as a bike RIDE instead of switching over to an E-Bike Ride! lol... Segment times were drastically improved with ALL segments as PR's and a few top ten ten times!! I know it's "cheating" but damn, you still have to pedal and you get a great workout! It just makes biking more fun!! As a 67 yr old with 2 total hip replacements, I can hang with the local big dogs on their acoustic rides now!! 25-30 mile rides feel just like my 15-20 milers!! Anything less than 15 miles is boring!!

If you ride the SL next to a Comp, you'll have a bit of power envy - mainly up basic hills. However, handling of the lighter weight makes the SL a plus in many parts of the ride.

I was sceptical as there were mix opinion about this bike, however, I changed from WHYTE T-130 to LEVO SL EXPERT and it was unbelievable good experience, done trip approx. 40 miles, mainly ECO (only twice used Trail - and no Turbo at all - dont needed) and get back home with 50 % battery, Elevation gained 2175 ft while maximum elevation was 429 ft. Average heart beat 135 - so good exercise. Overall this bike make compromising between standard MTB and Full Electric bike, while the weight make big difference, though. If you prefer do leg work and exercise while do uphill's, too - choose LEVO SL.

I resisted the E MTB for ages as i couldn't see the point. They are heavier than standard MTB and only good for hills ! So wrong and I wish i had done this sooner. Very light makes a BIG difference and this bikes feels so planted up and down hill. Looking forward to putting on some more miles
