"Almost a year ago, when Specialized launched its all-new full-power Levo 4 all-mountain eMTB, it cranked out 27% more power than the gen 3 Levo, but now via over-the-air Levo 4 update that gets ratcheted up once again. The big eMTB power wars have heated up. And new competition from the likes of DJI/Avinox & Mahle, joining traditional players like Bosch & Shimano in the full-power party, means everybody needs to up their game."
""With Over-the-Air updates, every Turbo bike becomes a living, evolving machine that gets better over time. With a simple software update done from the convenience of their home, riders' bikes get more powerful, more refined, and more personalized." - Marco Sonderegger, Specialized's Leader of Turbo Technology"
"One of the things I love most about modern electronics in cycling is the occasional announcement that an over-the-air update just added new features or improved performance thanks to updated programming. It usually is something relatively small, like displaying new metrics on a smartwatch or added features on your GPS. But more recently in the ebike sphere, both Shimano and Bosch have pushed out major motor performance benefits thanks to refined motor control."
Specialized released an over-the-air update for Levo 4 motors that increases peak power and torque for both S-Works and standard models. S-Works peak power rises to 850W with 111 Nm torque while the standard Levo 4 increases to 810W with 105 Nm. The update uses refined motor control and optimization to improve performance and reclaim higher rankings among competitors. Competition from DJI/Avinox, Mahle, Bosch, and Shimano has intensified full-power eMTB development. Specialized's SuperNatural control preserves smooth, manageable power delivery despite increased output. OTA updates enable remote performance improvements and personalization.
