Downhiller's eMTB? Specialized Levo Evo Review - 2026 eMTB Shootout

As gravity riders first, the Specialized Levo EVO was the Levo variant we were most excited to see released, joining the standard Levo and Levo R in their full power eBike range. Hoping that the Levo platform could lead itself to excellent capability and overall ride feel - an area that Specialized usually delivers on - this 170mm travel full power eBike was sure to give confidence and stability to satisfy our downhilling desires. But could the Levo EVO rise to the top of our list of the best eMTB on the market in 2026? We were excited to find out as we hit the rough and rowdy trails around Santa Fe, New Mexico, for our 2026 eMTB Shootout. Written Review: https://theloamwolf.com/emtb/speciali... Main Shootout Page: https://theloamwolf.com/emtb/2026-emt... These intensive group reviews would not be possible without some amazing partners. Their support ensures our entire crew can ride all these bikes on a variety of terrain to establish real-world data for our audience. Fox Racing kept the team warm during the odd storm, comfortable on hot days, and ensured we were always looking cool while staying protected. Schwalbe Tires provided control tires with amazing and predictable performance, and 2 weeks of testing across the 15 test eMTBs with zero flat tires. We’d also like to thank our destination hosts. We stayed at Glorieta Adventure Camps just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico and we were supported by Sante Fe City and Santa Fe County and their Tourism Dept. Thanks for the hospitality, and you should definitely get down there for yourself!
