Specialized release 2019 29" Levo Hard Tail - £2249

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Specialized have just released the 2019 Levo HT. Quite a big diffreence between this one and the resular FS Levo. It is a budget friendly bike, and the components reflect the £2249 price tag.

The same 1.2E motor as the 2019 Kenevo (I am waiting for confirmation from Specialized if its any different to the 2017 motor).

Nice looking bike as spesh usually are , but how they can call that spec / price combination budget friendly beats me , they must be relying on potential customers being unable to compare or understand specs of components for that to sell at that price against the competition .

Yeah, I don’t see the logic behind this either. I doubt I’ll stock these in my shop. It needs to be closer to the price of the Turno Como 3.0 to be competitive

I just bought this for 150 quid more, which is probably one of the best hardtail E-MTB's on the market:
