Turbo Levo SL Link (2023-Current)

Our new Turbo Levo SL link takes everything we've learned from the Stumpjumper, Levo, and the Orbea Rise, our best selling links, and applies it to the latest rendition of the Levo SL. This link takes the amount of progression and pushes it up to 24% from 12% while putting travel at 160mm even with fork. Why might you want this increase in progression when Specialized has decreased the amount of progression compared to the previous generation of Levo SL? Long story short, when you are pushing the bike, a more progressive leverage curve allows you to better balance small bump sensitivity and bottom out resistance. This is because it allows you to not rely on over-springing or excessive damping to get adequate bottom out resistance. Take the Orbea Rise for example. The link for that bike puts it at 27% compared to 20% stock while having a similar travel increase. If you're pushing it, that link transforms the way that bike tracks while simultaneously allowing it to handle big impacts better. This is exactly what you can expect from this link as well. Bikes aren't like high performance track cars. They don't have to be uncomfortable to be fast. They are off road machines that should glide over bumps.

THIS LINK MUST BE RAN WITH THE SHOCK IN THE HIGH POSITION ONLY. The link is designed to place the bike halfway between the low and high geo position. That along with the added travel means the low position is too low and will create clearance issues.
