WARNING! Due to the complexity of the LEVO bicycle, proper assembly requires a high degree of
mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential for your safety that
the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Before your first ride, make sure your components, such as brakes and drivetrain, are assembled and
adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and are functioning properly.
WARNING! Many components on the LEVO, including, but not limited to, the rear suspension and cable
guides, are proprietary to the LEVO. Only use originally supplied components and hardware at all times.
Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the assembly. LEVO
specific components should only be used on the LEVO and not on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure
to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, file or remove parts
from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components or hardware. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING! Electrical components can be exposed when working on your bicycle. Do not touch
any part of the electrical system while under electric charge. Do not expose the connections of
the battery and frame to water. If any live components or the battery are damaged, stop riding
immediately and bring your bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
4.1. SPEED SENSOR
When assembling the rear brake disc, the Speed Sensor Magnet must be installed on the rotor (fig.2). Four of the

4.2. BOTTOM BRACKET
The bottom bracket is an integrated part of the motor, and does not require any pre-installation preparation.
4.3. HEADSET
The headset uses a 1 1/8” (41.8mm x 30.5 x 8mm, 45x45°) Campagnolo Standard compatible upper bearing
and a 1.5” (52mm x 40 x 7mm, 45x45°) lower bearing. Ensure that replacement bearings are compatible with
the Specialized headset specification. No tools are needed for installation or removal of both bearings. Grease
bearing surfaces before installation.
Inspect the fork, stem, seatpost and seat tube, to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any
burrs or sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.
All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be rounded out to eliminate any stress points.

5
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces of the components.
Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can weaken the components.
4.4. SEATPOST
LEVO frames have a 30.9mm seatpost diameter and require that the seatpost have a tolerance of 30.78mm to 30.95mm.
min

A
B
SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION:
To prevent damage to the frame and/or seatpost, it is important
to have a minimum amount of seatpost insertion in the seat tube.
This minimum insertion must meet the following requirements:
The seatpost must be inserted into the frame deep enough
so the minimum insertion/maximum extension (min/max)
mark on the seatpost is not visible (fig.3 A).
The seatpost must also be inserted into the seat tube deep
enough to be visible through the sight hole (fig.3 B), or if no
sight hole is present, the insertion must meet or exceed the
minimum measured insertion depth (fig.3 B) required by the
size of the frame (see below).
If the seatpost and frame minimum insertion requirements
differ from each other, always use the longer minimum
insertion. For example, if the frame requires 70mm, but the
seatpost requires 100mm, then 100mm is the minimum
insertion required.
• SMALL / MEDIUM FRAME SIZE: Minimum insertion 70mm
• LARGE / X-LARGE FRAME SIZE: Minimum insertion 100mm
If the seatpost is at the min/max mark and the seatpost is not visible through the sight hole or does not meet or
exceed the minimum measured insertion depth of the frame, the seatpost is not inserted deeply enough into the
seat tube and should be lowered until it can be seen through the sight hole. This may result in the saddle being too
low. If so, the seatpost must be replaced with a longer seatpost.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame minimum insertion requirements may result in
damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
If the seatpost is cut short, the min/max mark on the seatpost may no longer be accurate. Before
cutting the seatpost, note the min/max depth required by the seatpost manufacturer.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost, refer to the appropriate
section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an improperly tightened seatpost can allow the saddle to
turn or move and cause you to lose control and fall.
CAUTION: Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges.
Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.
CARBON FRAMES: Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the seatpost and the seat
tube. Grease reduces the friction, which is critical to proper seatpost grip. Specialized recommends
the application of carbon assembly compound (fiber paste), which can increase friction between
carbon surfaces. Please visit your Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.
COMMAND POST IRcc / WU SEATPOSTS: When adjusting the position of the seatpost inside the seat tube,
remove the battery to gain access to the internal housing, in order to guide the housing when moving the seatpost.
Please refer to the seatpost user manual instruction guide for additional information.
4.5. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Specialized replacement parts and accessories are available through your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The LEVO motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in motion. The amount
of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of force applied to the pedals. If you stop
pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
TheLEVO bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching the display to the
OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 1%.
The LEVO bicycle has a walk-assist mode (the motor engages without pedal force being applied) which is designed
to provide assistance when walking the bicycle up a hill, up to a speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph), so long as the + button
is pressed down.
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the LEVO offers a unique ride compared to a bicycle without motor assist.
Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before entering the corner.
Otherwise you may carry too much speed as you enter the corner.
Ride efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back
up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler weather, keep the battery stored indoors until just before riding.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More cargo weight requires more energy to move.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals and the bicycle
is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage at least one brake before starting
to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate
unexpectedly. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING! Since the motor support allows for greater speeds and acceleration, you should pay
particular attention to terrain conditions, other riders, pedestrians, and/or cars when riding. You
may approach obstacles much faster than expected.
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than anticipated and may feel
unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use the lowest power ECO mode and become
familiar with the operation of the electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering
and navigating obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also pay particular
attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles faster than expected. Please note
the default motor support mode upon startup is always TURBO mode.
For technical climbing and navigating through obstacles such as tight switchbacks or rock
gardens, use the brakes to modulate the motor output and control your acceleration/speed.
CAUTION: The weight of your LEVO is significantly higher than a bicycle without motor support.
Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but not limited to parking, lifting, pushing,
loading it into a car or onto a bicycle carrier and unloading it).
CAUTION: Do not ride your LEVO without the battery installed. Riding without a battery may
damage exposed electrical components.

5.2. BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s Manual (Bike Fit, Safety
First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all important safety checks. In addition, make sure you
are familiar with the following areas of the bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Battery
• Are all connections plugged in correctly?
• Do you have sufficient battery charge?
• Is the battery properly inserted and locked in the frame?
Display
• Is the display functioning correctly?
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Battery
• Is the battery fully charged?
Display
• Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
Remote
• Are you familiar with the function of the buttons on the remote?
• Do you know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from ECO to SPORT to TURBO?
WARNING! If your battery, charger or other component exhibits any signs of damage, do not use
the bicycle and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
5.3. RIDING WITH KIDS
There are many different setups that allow you to ride with kids. Please look at the Riding Safely section in the
Owner’s Manual regarding general information and instructions on child carriers or trailers.
If you regularly ride with kids on your bicycle, your Authorized Specialized Retailer should conduct a periodic safety
inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one person at a time.
Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own risk. If you choose to install an
accessory on your Specialized bicycle such as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is
compatible and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory installed. Be sure to not
exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle if you use a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier.
Also make sure not to exceed the maximum cargo weight if you use a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering the center of gravity,
weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your cornering ability, increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down
a steep grade. All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/or
death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the accessory in a controlled
environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a composite or carbon
fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly. For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear
axle when the rear triangle is made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer
cycle bicycle to a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon fork.
Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or component which could
result in damage and cause a complete failure, with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have
previously attached an accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride
until you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable legal requirements
and regulations in your country and state. There may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with
certain or any accessory(ies). This is especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

6. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The LEVO is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and parts replacement
must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding maintenance of your
bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In addition, routinely perform a Mechanical Safety Check before each
ride, as described in the Owner’s Manual.
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage may result in a
loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible
in inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying,
gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle
shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an Authorized
Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more components.
Periodically examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks or fatigue at stress
points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of
excessive wear, discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding
the bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as use, rider weight,
riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the LEVO uses a power-assisted drive system, which means
more distance is covered in the same amount of time. Components may be subject to increased wear at
different rates, depending on the component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear.
Periodically have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components.
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the winter), can result in
galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten
the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be
cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer,
which means it should be cleaned, inspected for signs of corrosion and/or cracks and lubricated. If you notice
any signs of corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden hose can penetrate
bearing seals and crank interfaces, increasing bearing and crank wear. Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle
cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car parked in the sun
or near a heat source such as a radiator.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to the components
on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury
or death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the
seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may
not be visible, and you may lose control and fall.
WARNING! Always turn off the battery when not in use and/or when working on it.
CAUTION: Do not open the motor assembly. The motor assembly is a sealed maintenance-free
system. Any work on the motor assembly must be performed by a Specialized Service Center.
Your bicycle should be inspected and serviced by your Authorized Specialized Retailer on a regular
basis, depending on use. The first inspection should be performed within 200 km / 120 miles. See
detailed service schedule on page 23.

WALK-ASSIST
TURBO BOOST
TURBO BOOST BUTTON: Automatically changes to TURBO mode regardless of the mode the bike is in.
+ BUTTON: Increases the amount of support.
- BUTTON: Decreases the amount of support.
WALK-ASSIST BUTTON: Pressing and holding activates the walk-assist mode. This provides motor assist at
3.7 mph / 6 km/h to help push the bike up hills when walking.
7.2. SUPPORT MODES
5
- : TRAIL OR ECO
+ : TRAIL OR TURBO
POWER
The LEVO motor support is available in three
different drive settings - TURBO, TRAIL and ECO.
TURBO MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides maximum (100%) support.
TRAIL MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides 50% support (default).
ECO MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides 20% (default).
The various modes (TURBO, TRAIL and ECO) are
managed using the +/- buttons on the Trail Display,
located on the side of the battery (fig.5) or on the
remote (fig.4). In addition, the drive system can
be controlled through a variety of devices (Mission
Control App or select LEV-supported computers)
by being able to access additional control features.
To switch into a different support mode, press the +or -button on the battery, app or computer. After reaching the
strongest or weakest mode, the system will not continue to switch. To reduce from TURBO to TRAIL to ECO, you
have to press the -button. To increase from ECO to TRAIL to TURBO, you have to press the +button.

10
The support modes affect how much support the motor delivers based on your pedaling input.
Generally, more support provides faster acceleration and easier climbing at the expense of shorter
range and greater chance of wheelspin. Lower power modes that provide less support result in
longer battery run times, longer range, and more control in situations where traction is limited.
Specialized recommends experimenting with the power settings that work best for your riding
style and conditions.
The level of motor support in TURBO, TRAIL and ECO modes can be customized for your individual
needs. Using the Mission Control App or with help from your local Authorized Specialized Retailer,
you can adjust the ECO and TRAIL modes to provide between 10% and 70% of motor support.
7.3. CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
The motor support system provides a high degree of interface flexibility, through Bluetooth and/or ANT+
connectivity. Depending on the device and the connectivity option, a variety of features can be accessed.
BLUETOOTH LE:
The Mission Control App (iOS or Android) provides an enhanced ride experience by recording rides while syncing with Strava,
eliminating “range anxiety” with the Smart Control function, GPS-based navigation, and system diagnostics. Android and iOS
devices can sync to all LEVO bicycles via Bluetooth LE. Visit Google Play or the Apple App Store for the latest version of the
free Mission Control App. All Mission Control functionality instructions can be found within the App itself.
ANT+:
The ANT+ Protocol offers a range of devices that sync with the LEVO bicycles.
The LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) profile allows visibility of additional types of data, including cadence, rider power
output, motor temperature, battery temperature, battery State of Charge, and speed while also allowing some
support mode control. For an up-to-date list of LEV compatible ANT+ devices go to https://www.thisisant.com/
directory/filter/~/~/~/200/.
The “Fake Channel” option displays the battery State of Charge on any ANT+ cycling device that has an unused
Power, Heart rate, or Cadence channel. The Mission Control App must be used to select this option.

8. BATTERY / CHARGER
Your bicycle is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Always adhere to the following instructions when handling
or charging the battery or when using the LEVO bicycle:
Only operate the battery between the temperature range of -20° C (-4° F) and +70° C (+158° F).
Only use the LEVO battery with the LEVO bicycle. Do not use the LEVO battery with any other bicycle or any
other battery with the LEVO bicycle, even if it fits.
Always turn the battery off before connecting or disconnecting the wiring harness or charger to or from the battery.
Turn off the battery, unplug the charger from the battery and remove the battery from the bicycle before
performing work of any kind, such as installation, maintenance, cleaning and/or repair. When transporting or
handling the battery separately from the bicycle, ensure the battery is OFF. Touching the contacts when the
battery is ON can result in electric shock and/or injury.
Before riding the bicycle, make sure the battery is properly secured in the frame.
8.1. OBSERVE AND OBEY

During the charging process, the diode on the charger will glow red (fig.7). When the battery is fully charged, the
diode on the charger will turn green.
CAUTION: If the red LED flashes during the charging process, a charging error has occurred. In
that case, immediately remove the charger from the socket, discontinue use of the motor support
and contact your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
The Battery Management System (BMS) is designed to protect a fully discharged battery from
damage for a period of time. However, in order to maintain the best possible battery performance
and lifespan, Specialized recommends regularly recharging the battery to at least ¾full (7 LEDs).
Please note that Li-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on age and use. Strongly reduced
operating time after charging can be a sign that the battery is reaching the end of its useful life
and has to be replaced. Provided the bicycle has been used properly, approximately 75% of the
battery’s original capacity should remain after 300 charging cycles or two years. Replacement
batteries can be purchased from your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

8.3. CHARGE LEVEL DISPLAY
The charge level of the battery is permanently displayed during your ride. The number of LEDs glowing will indicate the
remaining battery charge. When the battery charge reaches 20%, the last two LEDs will glow red (fig.8).
At 10% battery charge remaining, the system will start to reduce the amount of support. At 1%, the system switches
off the motor support.
If your bicycle is at a standstill for at leasy 10 minutes, the BMS will switch the system off. In order to continue riding
with support, you have to switch the system on again.

9. AUTOSAG AIR SHOCK SETUP
LEVO FSR bicycles are equipped with AUTOSAG, a unique new feature designed to simplify and speed up the
adjustment of air pressure. The AUTOSAG feature automatically determines the correct amount of sag, and
eliminates the need to refer to an air chart to determine the correct pressure based on rider weight. However, the
shock still requires compression and rebound adjustment based on type of terrain and rider weight. Once the air
pressure is set, please refer to the compression settings and the rebound chart (page 18).
Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested starting point recommendations
only. They should be adjusted according to the rider’s needs for each type of terrain to achieve
optimal performance. Shock air pressure can be set up manually to rider preference instead of
using AUTOSAG if desired.
9.1. STEP 1: SETTING AUTOSAG

Adjust the seat height.
Set the fork pressure approximately to the desired sag.
Fig.13: Position the shock compression lever or knob (blue) to

(black).
Attach a high-pressure shock pump to the positive air valve.
Inflate to the rider’s weight in pounds (lb) plus 50psi. For
kilograms, multiply by three (e.g. 75kg = 225psi).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 350psi before activating the
Autosag valve (this is a starting pressure only). After
the Autosag is activated, 300 psi is the recommended
maximum working pressure when riding.
Make sure you are wearing all gear that would normally be worn on a ride (shoes, helmet, hydration pack if used,
etc.). Mount the bicycle, prop up against a wall, and sit in the saddle in a normal riding position. Do not set sag
while riding.
Unthread then press the grey AUTOSAG valve
3
. The pressure will decrease until the suspension settles into
its pre-adjusted sag point. Once the Autosag valve is no longer releasing pressure, let go of the Autosag valve.
Cycle the shock a few times to fill the negative air chamber again
4
, then dismount the bicycle.
Do not depress the AUTOSAG valve again, otherwise the proper sag setting will be lost, and will require this
procedure to be repeated from step #2.
Tighten the positive air valve cap.
Verify the fork sag and adjust again if necessary to complete the bike setup.
Rider weight in pounds (lb) plus the PSI (depending on model as described above) is the lowest
amount of pressure that should be in the shock before activating AUTOSAG. If the air pressure is too
low, the AUTOSAG button may let air out of the negative chamber, which would result in incorrect sag.
Sag is measured as the distance between the o-ring and the shock body’s seal, after the rider’s weight
has been applied to the bike, with no bounce. When AUTOSAG is correctly set, sag should measure
approximately 20-30% of stroke, depending on riding/terrain experience. If the rider is approaching
300lbs, AUTOSAG may not function, and sag may exceed the bike’s prescribed amount.
