REVIEW: Specialized Turbo Levo SL :: BIKESTOCK.CZ

Test of the new Specialized Turbo Levo SL. The last year has been a boom in the category of lightweight e-bike concepts. Specialized has decided to respond to the new Fazua and TQ drivetrain types by updating its SL drivetrain and it comes with the new Specialized SL 1.2 drivetrain for the 2023 models.

the new app "Specialized" for setting up the bike and recording routes allows the bike to be registered or locked, the best functionality I see is the ability to set the display display and set the engine performance curve
