Specialized just released the Gen 4 Levo Firmware 3.1 today (Feb 17), promising a significant power increase — but does it actually make the bike faster in the real world?

Instead of guessing, we tested it the only way that matters:
same rider, same effort, same climb, and power meter normalized testing using our long-term benchmark data.

We compare:

Old firmware vs new firmware

Comp Alloy vs S-Works

Against Amflow and other bikes in our leaderboard

Claimed Motor Changes

S-Works:

777W → 850W (+18%)

Torque unchanged at 111 Nm

Other Gen4 models:



Firmware 3.1 Overview & Claimed Changes (0:00)
Historical Data & Power Meter Testing Setup (1:17)
Virtual Race Simulation (2:00)
Specialized Gen 4 Comp Alloy Test Results (2:47)
Specialized S-Works Test Results (4:57)
Leaderboard Comparison and Conclusion (6:50)

666W → 810W (+22%)

101 Nm → 105 Nm

Because torque barely changes, you may not feel it at low speed — the difference happens at cadence and sustained climbing power. So we measured actual climb time instead of rider feel.

Real Results

1-mile / 500 ft climb:

Old Alloy: 4:28

New Alloy (3.1): 4:00

Old S-Works: ~4:12

New S-Works: 3:39

Amflow: 3:46

Yes — seconds matter. Over long climbs, that becomes minutes.

We also show a virtual race simulation so you can see exactly what happens if riders have equal strength and weight.

This is why we collect long-term data: not opinions, measurable performance.

If you own a Gen4 Levo, this is a free performance upgrade.
New bikes shipping now already include the firmware.
