So, on Tuesday, Specialized launched the new S-Works Levo 4 X. And, they say that it takes the “power, control, range, and ride quality of Levo 4 and adds high-performance carrying capacity for a new kind of ride: ‘Electric Overland“
The full-suspension bike looks wild with the racks on the front and rear of the bike. But it also looks like a blast to ride.
Let’s check out the details.
The S-Works Levo 4 X
The Specialized S-Works Levo 4 X takes the existing S-Works Levo 4 electric mountain bike, and looks to have simply added a rack system. The racks are designed for carrying gear without compromising ride quality.
The bike maintains all the core specs of the standard Levo 4, including an 850-Watt motor producing 111Nm of torque, 840Wh battery capacity, and 150mm rear/160mm front suspension travel.
Nice Racks
What sets the X version apart is its integrated front and rear rack system. The racks are designed to handle up to 22 kg (48.5 lbs) total – 10 kg (22 lbs) on the front rack and 12 kg (26 lbs) on the rear rack with MIK 3-pin compatibility.
The rack system uses a design that suspends the payload to maintain the bike’s handling characteristics even when loaded. This approach aims to bridge the gap between high-performance trail riding and practical cargo carrying.
It can also mean that riders can use the same bike for both recreation and transportation needs. The carbon frame includes adjustable geometry and mixed wheel sizing, along with integrated SWAT downtube storage for tools and essentials.
For current Levo 4 and Levo R owners, the rack system is available as an aftermarket upgrade, which means existing riders can add cargo capability without buying a completely new bike.
