POWER RIDING_ 1 Specialized Levo Turbo Comp Carbon FSR

Ride an E-MTB anywhere resembling a mountain and you’ll understand why

they’re getting massively popular. “Pedal assist” on hilly terrain means you

can ride further, faster and for much longer than on a regular rig. The Comp

is fabricated in FACT 9m carbon fibre and M5 aluminium. The frame hosts a

proprietary 250W motor wired to a 500Wh battery, all tidily stashed in that

oversized downtube. With a regular-looking frame, integrated power supply and

minimalist display panel, the Levo is the “all mountain” all-rounder for riders

who want a non-e-bike-looking e-bike. £5,999 specializedconceptstore.co.uk

2 Morvelo Overland

Want to ride off-road without standing

out as a lycra-geek or a wannbe pro-

downhiller? Morvelo has taken the fabric of

performance-riding kit and re-engineered

it with a casual, wear-anywhere aesthetic.
