I’m in the market for a second hand Turbo Levo SL to replace my Turbo Levo HT.
Butnim confused by the motor change from 2.1 (in my HT) to the newer 1.1 in the 2021 model and after SL.
Whilst lighter, I’ve also read the 1.1 is significantly less powerful.
My query is how does this feel out on the trail?

The Levo has the Brose motor ..

Which started with the 1.2 (over heated) .. the 1.2e (efficient) - power was wound back, didn't over heat. In parallel was the 1.3 with several hardware changes which made a fairly sound motor.

Next up was the 2.1 mag S - magnesium .. lighter, same power, effectively weaker construction due to some bonded rather than pressed parts.

Recently, 2.2 - which was the same, but has since had some upgrades.

The Levo SL has the Mahle motor - which is an entirely different motor.

How will it feel ? There are several threads .. but Turbo on your Mahle will feel more like somewhere between eco and trail on your Levo (depending how you had it setup). But it's a lighter bike.
