The Turbo Levo 4, which has won numerous awards worldwide including the 2026 Design & Innovation Award, is finally making its debut in the Japanese market.

Until now, only models equipped with the Specialized SL motor were available in Japan, but at last, an E-bike with a full-power motor that balances overwhelming power and a natural ride feel is joining the lineup. Please look forward to the arrival of the Levo, which breaks new ground for full-power E-MTBs, and its future developments.

Unleash Superhuman Power, Incredibly Naturally

Introducing the E-MTB from the Specialized Science Club, the Turbo Levo 4.

Its evolution is nothing short of magical. Once you straddle this bike, a new riding experience begins, where organic and inorganic blend in perfect harmony. This is not just a mountain bike. It's a machine for transcending human capabilities, much like a super-alloy suit that transforms you into a cycling cyborg.

With up to 111Nm of torque and 850W of output (for the S-Works model), it assists you with strength beyond your limits, granting you superhuman power and astonishing speed that can bend space and time. The frame, with its latest 150mm travel suspension and refined geometry, delivers that power while providing exceptional control to tear through the most extreme terrain at sonic speeds. It masterfully controls its superhuman power, ensuring a solid grip on the ground even on steep climbs that would cause wheel spin.

And no matter how tough you are, faced with the Turbo Levo 4's outstanding range, the human will tire first. That's why when you, a human, get on the Turbo Levo 4, you join the ranks of superhumans. If someone asks, "How can you ride like that?" just answer:

— "It's magic."

Super Power | Absolute Performance Specialized 3.1 Motor

The motor, the heart of the E-bike, is the Specialized 3.1 motor, which has reached the pinnacle of both mechanical performance and sound performance (quietness). With large full-metal gears and a Hard Drive surface treatment, it is less susceptible to thermal expansion, resulting in a highly efficient, quiet, and long-lasting motor.

Otherworldly power and torque are only meaningful if they can be controlled. The Levo 4 precisely detects the rider's pedaling and amplifies it with surprising naturalness, allowing you to push forward on steep climbs and slippery surfaces without a second thought. You have complete control in both slow technical sections and high-cadence, fast-paced situations. This is thanks to the DCI (Direct Current Injection) technology in the Turbo's advanced firmware and its ultra-high-precision torque sensor.

Super Frame | Deep Knowledge of Trail Bike Performance

All the expertise Specialized has accumulated regarding trail bikes has been poured into this frame, which features 150mm of rear travel, a carbon shock extension (S-Works only), adjustable geometry, and SWAT storage.

The Wattage Cottage door on the side of the down tube provides both easy access to the battery and the first-ever SWAT storage on an E-MTB. The sleek layout results in an even cleaner bottom bracket area. Combined with a lower standover height and a seatpost compatible with a 200mm travel dropper (S4 size), it's packed with top performance.

Super Control | GENIE Shock and Adjustable Geometry

GENIE, a patented technology developed by Specialized, grants the wishes of trail riders. Its dual-air spring system secures a large air volume, providing a linear spring curve for up to 70% of the travel for excellent control and responsiveness. From there to full stroke, the remaining 30% reduces air volume and switches to a progressive characteristic, absorbing large impacts like jump landings and preventing bottoming out.

Furthermore, it adopts an adjustable geometry for fine-tuning the setup and a design dedicated to Hallett wheels. S-Sizing allows you to choose your preferred size based on your riding style and trail environment, rather than the rider's leg length.

Super Range | Up to 5 hours and 20 minutes of range and a battery that can charge to 80% in under an hour

With a range of up to approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes*, the Levo 4 lets you ride without worrying about battery life. In addition to industry-leading mechanical efficiency, a battery capacity of up to 1,120Wh allows you to keep riding with confidence on even the longest trails. Furthermore, you can maximize the possible range by optimizing the assist output and battery consumption with the motor tune.

*Calculated using a Specialized 3.1 motor with an 840Wh battery and a 280Wh range extender (sold separately), with a rider weight of 80kg, in Eco mode, with a significant amount of elevation gain typical of a trail ride.

The 840Wh battery can be charged in just 3 hours and 45 minutes even with the standard included 5A, 200W charger. With the supercharger included with the S-Works, a battery at 0% can be charged to 80% in under an hour.

Super Integration | Unleash All Functions with the Top Tube Display and App

The frame-integrated control unit, MasterMind, features the largest and highest-resolution display ever used on an E-bike, bringing a new dimension to the ride experience. You can select and display the data you want to see, such as battery level, assist mode, and ride data, on the front of the top tube. It also supports connection to external devices via Bluetooth.

The Specialized app connects seamlessly with the Levo 4, allowing you to finely customize motor assist and bike display settings. In addition, you can not only check the bike's location with Apple's "Find My" feature but also enhance security by locking the motor remotely with System Lock.

Sales Method

As the quantity for the model year 2026 being released this time is limited, it will be handled exclusively at Specialized Stores and the Specialized Official Online Store (supporting Click & Collect).
