1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. IMPORTANT
THIS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND
STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
This manual was drafted in English (original instructions) and may have been translated into other languages as applicable (translation of
original instructions).
This document is specific to your Turbo Levo SL bicycle and referred to in this manual as the Levo SL.
This manual should be read in addition to the Turbo Levo SL User Manual supplied with your bicycle, and the two documents should be kept
together for future reference. They contain important safety, performance, and technical information specific to your Levo SL, which you
should read before your first ride and keep for reference.
The Levo SL user manual is designed as a reference for a complete bicycle, including the Declaration of Conformity document at the back of
each language section. Since a frame up build requires the assembly of components (suspension fork, seat post, saddle, drivetrain assembly,
cockpit assembly, wheels), the information contained herein is intended to supplement the Levo SL User Manual in order to provide you with
the necessary information required to complete the assembly and eventually use your Levo SL. For assembly, only compatible and e-bike
approved components should be used. Please refer to a component manufacturers’ documentation for assembly instructions.
You should also read the entire Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”) because it has additional important general
information and instructions which you should follow. If you do not have a copy of this document, you can download them at no cost at www.
specialized.com or obtain them from your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Rider Care.
1.2. WARNING SYMBOLS
When reading this assembly instruction, note various important symbols and warnings explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the Warnings say “you may lose control and
fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of
possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against
unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation that, if not avoided, could
result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
This symbol alerts the reader to information that is particularly important.
This symbol means that high quality grease should be applied as illustrated.
This symbol means that carbon assembly paste should be applied as illustrated to increase friction.
This symbol highlights the correct torque value for a specific bolt. In order to achieve the specified torque
value, a quality torque wrench must be used.
Tech tips are useful tips and tricks regarding installation and use.
We may occasionally issue updates and addenda to this document. Please periodically check
www.specialized.com or contact Rider Care to make sure you have the latest information.

PREPARATION
The build starts with a bare 2023 Turbo Levo SL Carbon frame with no components assembled.
To build the Turbo Levo SL, it is essential to follow the order of operations as outlined in this guide.
Modifying the order of assembly will result in a longer build process.
Specific procedures are different for carbon and alloy frames. Follow the appropriate steps in the assembly guide
relating to your frame type.
Insert a standard 30.9 mm seatpost into the tube, then use a 4 mm hex bit to torque the seatpost clamp to 6.2
Nm / 55 in-lbf.
Place the bicycle frame into a stable repair stand.
WARNING: Do not clamp the carbon frame.

All pivot bolts are factory treated with a threadlocker patch on the threads. If it begins to wear off, remove
any remaining threadlocker, then apply a new coat of Loctite 243 or install new bolts with the pre-applied
threadlocker patch.
CAUTION: Only apply grease to the unthreaded portion of the bolt shaft and the inner bolt head surface
(YELLOW highlighted portion of bolts as shown in the image).
CAUTION: Contaminating the threads of any of the pivot bolts with grease could lead to the Loctite not
functioning as intended; the bolts could come loose causing damage to the bicycle.
For best alignment results, do not torque any of the rear triangle pivot and shock bolts until the rear triangle is
fully assembled to the front triangle.

SPEED SENSOR GROMMET
From the inside of each Horst pivot bore, insert a bearing (B).
Insert the center spacers (R) from the outside of the Horst pivot bores.
On the outside of each Horst pivot bore, insert a bearing (B) sandwiching the center spacer between the other
bearing.
Apply green Loctite 603 to all the bearing/bore interface surfaces 12 hours before pressing all the bearings
into their respective pivot locations.
The speed sensor must be installed before assembling the Horst pivot.
Align the chainstay close to the Horst link pivot.
Insert the speed sensor into the hole at the front of the dropout, then feed it through the chainstay until is passes
the bolt hole.
Insert the speed sensor bolt into the hole. Use a torque wrench and 3 mm hex bit to torque the bolt to
specification.
Pry open the grommet and place it over the speed sensor cable behind the sensor.
Slide the rubber grommet up into the speed sensor hole to secure it.
When assembling the rear brake disc, the speed sensor magnet must be installed on the rotor. Four of the six bolts
are standard rotor bolts. The remaining two bolts (M5 x 0.8 pitch x 15 mm length with a countersunk flat head)
attach the speed sensor magnet to the rotor.

FLIP CHIP - 27.5 “REAR WHEEL (DEFAULT)
FLIP CHIP - 29" REAR WHEEL
CAUTION: Before installing a 29"rear wheel on a S1 or S2 size frame, consult section 6. GENERAL NOTES
ABOUT ASSEMBLY in the Levo SL User Manual regarding saddle clearance.
WARNING: The drive side and non-drive side Horst flip chips must both be aligned in the same 27.5" or
29" position. Improperly installed flip chips can damage the frame and can also cause you to lose control
and fall.
Always assemble the chainstay protector before assembling the horst pivot flip chips and bolts
Once the flip chips are installed and torqued, there will be a small gap between the outer flange and the
chainstay. Do not over tighten
Clean the chainstay, then attach the chainstay protector (A) to the drive side chainstay with the protector over the
flip chip pivot hole.

Grease the spacers (Q) (x4) and place the reduced surface side against the bearings (B).
Rotate and align the seatstay pivot with the chainstay pivot while pulling the excess speed sensor cable from the
motor area.
NOTE: Ensure the speed sensor cable is free from the Horst pivot and cannot get pinched which would damage
the cable.
Depending on the size of your rear wheel, align the flip chip inner (S) and outer spacers (P) in either the 27.5"or
29" position and place them against the frame.
Ensure that the inner and outer flip chip spacers are aligned in the same direction.
Make sure all flip chips are fully seated and aligned with the chainstay protector before inserting the bolt.
Grease all non-threaded surfaces and install the Horst link pivot bolts (O). Use a 5 mm hex key to hand tighten
only.

6.1.10. MUD FLAP
This assembly keeps mud and debris from collecting in the gap between the main frame and chainstay.
Apply Loctite to the two mud flap bolts and place them in the two holes in the mud flap.
Place the mud flap on the back of the frame on top of the chainstay.
Flex the mud flap up to access the two mounting holes in the frame.
Use a 2.5 mm hex key to tighten the two mud flap bolts.
