How it compares

With 160 mm at the fork, the Specialized Turbo Levo 4 sits above average: across the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database, the median is 150 mm. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 150 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. Within Specialized’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Specialized Turbo Levo R and the Specialized Turbo Kenevo SL 2 on travel. Depending on the build, the frame is aluminium or carbon.

The starting price of €5,499 (Alloy) is roughly in line with the category median (€5,500). For the S-Works Levo 4 X build, Specialized asks €14,499. For suspension, Specialized combines components from FOX, Marzocchi and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the Marzocchi Bomber Z1 to the FOX Factory 38 GRIP X2. Drive comes from Specialized 3.1 (105 Nm) or Specialized 3.1 S-Works (111 Nm), paired with 840–900 Wh of battery capacity.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (Marzocchi Bomber Z1): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
Rebound: on FOX, Marzocchi and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
Shock (Marzocchi Bomber Inline): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.

Target SAG for the Specialized Turbo Levo 4

Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Specialized gives its own target SAG, use that.

160 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (S-Works Levo 4 X)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 27 mm	24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 32 mm	28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 35 mm	30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 32 mm	27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Butcher / Eliminator 2.4; Butcher T9 29x2.4 / 27.5x2.4.

Ready-to-ride weight	Front	Rear
60 kg	1.48 bar (21 psi)	1.68 bar (24 psi)
70 kg	1.60 bar (23 psi)	1.80 bar (26 psi)
80 kg	1.72 bar (25 psi)	1.92 bar (28 psi)
90 kg	1.84 bar (27 psi)	2.04 bar (30 psi)
100 kg	1.96 bar (28 psi)	2.16 bar (31 psi)
110 kg	2.08 bar (30 psi)	2.28 bar (33 psi)
120 kg	2.20 bar (32 psi)	2.40 bar (35 psi)

Air pressure in the fork and shock

You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.

Note: all values without guarantee. Specification can vary by model year, frame size and market – if in doubt, the type plate, the manual and Specialized’s information apply. Never exceed maximum pressures.
