Specialized SL 1.2 Motor Review - HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE SL 1.1?

I'm happy to hear the quieter motor. The 1,1 could be pretty loud. Would you compare turbo on the 1.1 to trail mode on the 1.2?

I often ride mine with the motor completely off (or at 10% using micro tune) when heading out with friends on analog bikes. There is basically zero resistance, it’s just a heavier normal bike for these scenarios. Best all-rounder bike I’ve ever had!

I love my 1.1 SL motor , but I'll have to admit when I ride my sister's 50 nm 1.2 I like it even more 😊

Nice work brother! Love the intro! Always learn so much watching your vids!🤜🏼🤛🏼

Great review, Sam! 👏🏻

JUST bought me one of these (LEVO SL Carbon Comp) , and u called out all the points out correctly, Luved if it had a bigger range EXT or bigger main battery, but its great having as a secondary bike to my other FULL-Powered!

Awesome video Sam and some food for thought. Took my much-loved full fat Levo into the shop for its service last week and the Levo SL Comp Carbon (the only one in my price range) was sitting there, winking at me, with a grand off the RRP too. I am very tempted because, given I ride the full fat Levo in Eco pretty much 99% of the time, I think it would be the perfect complement to the full fat Levo for me. So, so tempted.

Super rad video as always! Spesh sure know how to make a bike.

Waiting for new content about your strive on dream build 🤟🤟🤟 Love your emtb content

Great video! We’ll done!!!❤

You just described my life 😊 I got this bike and a young family. I ride with my analogue monster physique friends once a week and without this bike I could never have kept up. Not a week goes by without someone cracking a joke at my expense though 😅, but it is all worth it. I LOVE this bike and without it I would have been a couch potato instead of out with the boys.

Rad video!! Completely agree, the motor is way quiter, the power enough for normal riding and the range without extender is good for an after work ride in full on mode or a two hour ride putting some effort. And with the range extender you can keep up with full power Ebikes if they're not in turbo the whole ride 😅

Great video! We’ll done!!!

Not being a fan of specialized mtbikes this one is very nice and I’m sure it’s a good bike but overall I feel that there’s better options out there at a lower price point I just can’t justify the price of these new emtbs and truly believe that you don’t need a decked out ebike to have just as much fun as you would on a lower priced one but everyone has their preferences and reasons to justify buying the bike they have and personally think that people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between any of the bike brands if they didn’t know what they were riding but whatever you like you like good job though on this review you really go into detail

This bike is a beauty!

If one's 1.1 needs to be replaced, will the 1.2 fit where the 1.1 was or does one need to purchase a new bicycle? I have the Creo SL Comp Carbon.

Is it possible to add overrun in the app? The rapid cut off might be natural but makes the bike feel heavy in tech terrain

For me the power is enough. The bike doesnt fell like emtb in downhill. Im have the chance to change thw fork for a fox 38 170 mm. What you think about put a 170? Anyone have tried it?

I think there is gonna be new system. SL 2.0, maybe next year. With wireless control, even more power, potentially with new TCU and definitely new battery tech + new extender and different connector. There are better batteries on the market with different layout = dif. voltage.

Rad! Did you do 1200 uphill with o without additional battery?
