2019 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert

Archived: 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert · Electric-assist · Published sizes: S, M, L, XL

• Confirm the frame markings and seller description match this archived model. Note every component that differs from the published build.
• Record the frame serial number. It should be legible, unaltered and consistent with the seller’s ownership history.
• Find the size marking on the bicycle and confirm the fit before judging the condition or price.

Archived: Frame: FACT 9m Carbon w/ M5 alloy rear triangle, 29 Trail Geometry, Integrated down tube battery, enclosed internal cable, Command Post routing, 148mm spacing, fully sealed cartridge bearings, 150mm of travel · Fork: RockShox Pike RC29, 150mm of travel

• Inspect composite areas in bright light for impact marks, cracks, ripples or crushed clamp zones. Check metal sections and welds separately for dents or cracking.
• Stand behind and in front of the bicycle to look for obvious frame, fork or wheel misalignment. Ask directly about crashes, transport damage and repairs.

Archived: Fork: RockShox Pike RC29, 150mm of travel · Rear shock: RockShox Deluxe RT3 w/ custom valve, 150mm of travel

• Inspect the fork stanchions for scratches or coating wear, look for oil or dirt rings at the seals, and cycle the fork through its travel while checking for binding or bushing play.
• Inspect the shock shaft and seals, cycle the rear suspension through its travel and check for oil, air loss, binding or unusual top-out and bottom-out noises.
• Hold the rear brake and load the suspension from several directions. Check pivots, bearings and mounting hardware for knock, looseness or side play.
• Ask for dated fork, shock and pivot-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil, bushings or bearings.

Archived: Shifters: SRAM S700, single-click lever · Rear derailleur: SRAM X1, 11-speed · Crankset: Praxis, 2D cold-forged alloy, custom offset, 165mm; chainrings: 32T, custom steel · Cassette: SRAM XG-1175, 11-speed, 10-42t · Chain: KMC X11ET, 11-speed w/ Missing Link™

• Shift through every available gear under light load. Hesitation, skipping or inconsistent indexing can reflect wear, damage, poor adjustment or mismatched replacement parts.
• Measure chain wear with a compatible gauge and inspect chainring, cassette or freewheel teeth. A new chain does not rule out wear in the remaining drivetrain.
• Turn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Inspect crank arms, chainring bolts and pedal threads for looseness or damage.

Archived: Brakes: (F) SRAM Code R, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 200mm / (R) SRAM Code R, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 200mm

• Squeeze each lever firmly. It should feel consistent and return cleanly. Check levers, hoses and calipers for fluid, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and examine rotors for wear or bending.
• Before riding, test every installed brake separately at walking speed. Each should stop firmly and release cleanly without its control reaching the end of its usable travel.

Archived: Rims: Roval Traverse 29, hookless alloy, 29mm inner width, tubeless ready, 28h · Hubs: (F) Specialized, sealed cartridge bearings, 15x110mm spacing, 28h / (R) DT Swiss 360, 3-pawl design, SRAM XD driver body, 12mm thru-axle, 148mm spacing, 28h · Front tire: Butcher, GRID casing, GRIPTON® compound, 2Bliss Ready, 29x2.6" · Rear tire: Butcher, GRID casing, GRIPTON® compound, 2Bliss Ready, 29x2.6"

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play.
• Inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking, plugs, bulges or exposed threads and confirm the installed sizes are safe for the rims and available frame and fork clearance.
• Remove and reinstall or closely inspect both wheel-retention systems. Axles or quick releases should tighten correctly with undamaged threads, hardware and dropouts.
• Confirm whether the bike is actually set up tubeless, whether both tires hold pressure, and when sealant and rim tape were last serviced.

Archived: Handlebar: Specialized Trail, 7050 alloy, 8-degree backsweep, 6-degree upsweep, 27mm rise, 780mm, 31.8mm clamp · Stem: Specialized Trail, forged alloy, 4-bolt, 6-degree, S/M 40mm / L/XL 50mm · Seatpost: Specialized Command Post 34.9mm, 130mm of travel (Size: Small), 160mm of travel (Sizes: M/XL) · Saddle: Body Geometry Phenom Comp, hollow Cr-Mo rails, 143mm · Pedals: Specialized Dirt

• Apply the front brake and rock the bike to check for headset play or notchiness. Inspect the stem, handlebar and clamp zones, then confirm every fastener and control is secure.
• Cycle the dropper post repeatedly. It should reach full travel, remain extended under load and have no unusual oil, excessive rotational play or damaged remote, cable, hose or battery.

Archived: Motor: Specialized 2.1, custom Rx Trail-tuned motor, 250W nominal · Battery: Turbo M2-700, fully integrated w/ rock guard, 700 Wh · Display: Specialized TCU, 10-LED state of charge, 3-LED Ride Mode display, ANT+/Bluetooth®, handlebar remote with walk-assist · Charger: Custom charger, 42V4A w/ Rosenberger plug

• Inspect the battery case, mount, lock and electrical contacts for cracks, impact, corrosion, swelling, overheating marks or looseness. Confirm the battery charges normally.
• Confirm the correct charger, battery keys and removable system parts are included. Check charger cables and connectors for damage or improvised repairs.
• Power the system on from cold, check the display for warnings, and test every assist mode. Assistance should engage and stop predictably without intermittent cutouts or abnormal motor noise.
• Ask for available battery-health, cycle-count, diagnostic and firmware records. Confirm that replacement batteries and system support remain available before agreeing on value.

• Before riding, confirm both wheels are secure, tires are safe, both brakes function, and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals have no looseness.
• Begin at low speed. Test steering, braking and shifting progressively, then load the drivetrain and suspension only after the basic safety checks pass.
• Listen and feel for repeated knocks, grinding, skipping, brake pulsation or movement at joints. Stop the test if the bicycle cannot be controlled safely.
