Ride faster and longer

The e-bike sector has gone into overdrive over the last few years with more people seeing the benefits of being able to ride longer and faster. And whilst e-bikes were once considered limited to commuter options, they now cover all disciplines and have made great strides, especially into the mountain bike (MTB) market.
Specialized Concept Store Harrogate have long been at the forefront of the ebike revolution and continue to innovate in this growing market.
“Even the most vehement opponents of e-bikes could not deny that the addition of an e-assist motor aboard an MTB has the very real advantage of making more obstacles ridable for longer,” said Specialized’s Dave Quinn. “If you are an amateur mountain biker who wants to enjoy everything that the trails have to offer with a sense of adventure and no desire to race, you should consider the Turbo LEVO or LEVO SL in place of any more traditional trail bike.”
No other e-bike has the range, power, and ride quality like the Turbo LEVO or LEVO SL, what’s more, it’s light enough to carry too – 40 per cent lighter than your average e-bike. It has a range of 90 miles and its 720Wh battery can be fully charged in just over two-and-a-half hours.
“Experienced mountain bikers can cover more ground and conquer bigger ledges and climbs than before and beginners can focus on skills rather than worrying about fitness,” added Dave.
To complement your Turbo LEVO SL you can choose from a range of accessories, including the Mode helmet, which blends elegant lines with rider-focused design to deliver simple looks with sophisticated features. Hidden, integrated vents create ample airflow, and its integrated fit adjustment systems and personalised sizing mean you can dial in a fit that’s, well, dialled.
Tailwind aerodynamic panniers blend form with function, reducing drag by up to six per cent when tested against competitors.
If you’re more suited to road bikes, has Specialized a long history of developing the world’s highest performing road bikes. The Turbo CREO SL redefines eroad bike performance. It’s lightweight smooth capable and lively—all with the power to flatten mountains, laugh at headwinds and go farther than you ever thought possible. It’s you only faster.
If you’re looking for something to commute, the COMO is a laid-back comfortable e-Bike with the power of a confident ride. COMO lets you go with the flow by giving you a full-power confidence-inspiring utterly delightful experience on a bike that feels effortless to ride.
The COMO’s low step-through anyone can easily get on and ride. A more upright position reduces stress on a rider’s hands and upper body allowing riders to comfortably set their sights on the road ahead.
Whatever your preference, you’re welcome to come and try the full range of e-bikes at Specialized Concept Cycles Harrogate’s West Park store. Specialized
