Specialized Turbo Levo R
Specialized's lighter, quicker take on the full-power Levo. The Comp Alloy keeps the 3.1 motor (105 Nm, 810 W) and 840 Wh battery but moves to 130 mm of rear travel, a 140 mm FOX 36 SL fork and a listed 53 lb. Specialized calls it a full-power electric XC trail bike. Ben hasn't ridden it yet.

Chassis & App
A Rally Car Feel, Says Specialized
Specialized's description, not Ben's findings.
Specialized describes the Levo R as light, tight and agile, with an XC Trail-tuned chassis and the power of the Levo 4. That is the company's own pitch and Ben hasn't confirmed it.
Specialized's page for the Levo R doesn't print an assist cut-off speed or an e-bike class. Check the label on the bike if you ride where class rules apply.

Plan Your Ride
Your Range, Not Specialized's
This is the site's physics model, not a Specialized figure. Specialized lists up to a 5 hour range with the optional Range Extender. The speed slider tops out at 20 mph as a modelling ceiling, because Specialized doesn't state the assist limit.
