Otherwise, the same premise applies here: get on and ride. You won't find a display or control lever on the tidy cockpit. If you want to adjust the power of the Brose motor, you can do so on the down tube. The lightweight bike impresses with its lively handling. It climbs excellently, but its overall orientation means that it loses ground on the descents. Sophisticated details such as the integrated tool kit and the automatic SAG adjustment are typical of Specialized. The bike is at the lower end of the price spectrum in this test, which explains the somewhat meagre spec.
Conclusion: The inexpensive short-travel Levo is a very handy fun bike with 120 mm travel. The equipment is favourable but coherent.
