E-bikes have been a game-changer for the cycling industry, acting as an enabler for those who otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to participate in the sport, and giving shredders \u201cthe power to ride more trails\u201d. But historically this power has come at a price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialized Bicycles are synonymous with ultra-premium, race-winning bikes and cutting-edge innovation. Many riders wouldn\u2019t consider looking for an \u201centry-level\u201d bike at their nearest Specialized dealer<\/a>, especially since the world of e-bikes is jam packed with cheap and cheerful options. However, in the world of dual-suspension E-mountain bikes, even \u201ccheap and cheerful\u201d is likely to be a sizeable investment. If you value ride quality and want to ensure you get the most for your spend on an E-bike, there are very compelling reasons to consider Specialized, even if you are on a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trickle down technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Specialized were early adopters of E-bike technology, setting up a Turbo-specific R&D centre in Cham, Switzerland, and bringing the first Turbo Levo to market in 2015<\/a>. Since then they have remained firmly at the forefront of e-bike innovation, pouring energy and resources into ensuring that their Turbo hardware and software is class-leading, and meets the needs of everyday riders. The latest iteration of the Turbo Levo launched in 2021<\/a>, and thanks to the adjustable geometry, custom suspension tune, and ongoing firmware updates, the ride quality remains cutting-edge two years later across the full model range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustability and personalisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The adjustable geometry on the Turbo Levo  ensures you can set your bike up to match your riding style. You can drop the BB to go long and low, or keep it short and snappy depending on the trails and the type of riding you\u2019ll be doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Turbo Connect Unit (or \u201cTCU\u201d) paired with the Specialized app<\/a> allows you to completely customise your ride experience, manage your battery life and set your e-bike up exactly the way you want it, to ensure smooth power delivery exactly when you need it. Ongoing firmware updates mean your E-bike management system, and ride experience is continuously improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliability and customer service<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buying a bike is more than just choosing something off the shelf and popping it on the car to take it home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialized have invested heavily in educating retail staff over the years to make sure that they are able to help you choose the right bike for your riding needs and budget. They\u2019ll also ensure that you leave the shop with your bike set up correctly, and help you understand the settings and adjustability features that enable you to dial in your Turbo Levo precisely to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an investment as sizeable and complex as an e-bike it\u2019s important to make sure you buy from an established brand that are able to offer good after sales support<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After sales support and service is often overlooked when making a purchase, but with an investment as sizeable and complex as an e-bike it\u2019s important to make sure you buy from an established brand that are able to carry the necessary spares and provide the after sales support you need to get you rolling as quickly as possible in the event of an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important when buying a new bike to understand the warranty policy, and what you are covered for. Specialized offer lifetime warranty<\/a> \u200b\u200bto the original owner against structural defects in material or workmanship on ALL models of Specialized-branded frames and forks, and 2 years on the Motors & Drive systems components on their e-bikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
