Exclusive components

The limited edition of the S-Works Turbo Levo 4 clearly stands out from the standard model thanks to its premium components. The built-in Fox Podium upside-down fork is a speciality, as this fork design is relatively rare in the mountain bike sector. Upside-down forks, where the stanchions are mounted at the top and the stanchions at the bottom, are considered to be particularly stiff and precise in steering. The Trickstuff Maxima brakes are among the highest quality brake systems on the market and are designed to ensure maximum deceleration values with fine modulation. Another highlight are the Cane Creek Electric Wings titanium cranks, which are said to offer a particularly low weight and high stability thanks to the use of titanium. According to Specialized, these components harmonise perfectly with the drive system.

Design and processing

According to the manufacturer, the Limited Edition of the S-Works Turbo Levo 4 has a unique build and paint process that is intended to set the bike apart visually from the standard version. Specialized emphasises that this special look makes the bike "instantly iconic". While there are no specific details on the colour scheme in the press release, it can be assumed that the special edition will come with an exclusive paint job that may visually emphasise the high-quality components.

Drive and electronics

The S-Works Turbo Levo 4 Limited Edition is equipped with the powerful S-Works motor, which delivers an impressive 111 Nm of torque and 720 watts, which corresponds to a 27 per cent increase in power compared to its predecessor. To efficiently supply the powerful motors with energy, there is a special 840 Wh battery. A compact 600 Wh battery is also available, which can be quickly removed from the side. This removal also allows access to the storage compartment, which is magnetically fixed in the steering tube.
