Performance is centered on the Specialized SL 1.2 Custom Rx Trail Tuned motor, which provides 320 watts of power and up to 5 hours of range. Specialized paired this motor with a fully integrated 520Wh battery and a high-end drivetrain featuring a Shimano Deore XT 12-speed rear derailleur and Shimano SLX cassette for precise shifting. The bike also features SRAM Carbon DUB crank arms and TRP hydraulic disc brakes for reliable, high-performance stopping power. For smooth rolling across varied terrain, Specialized equipped the bike with DT Swiss G540 rims and Hemisphere all-terrain tires that include flat protection and reflective sidewalls.
The cockpit is designed for both utility and modern security, featuring a Specialized Stealth Stem with an integrated display and light mount. Specialized prioritized rider safety and peace of mind by including Apple Find My compatibility, the Turbo System Lock, and an integrated lighting system featuring a 500-lumen Lezyne headlight and an integrated saddle-mount LED taillight. Completed with ERGON GA30-S Custom grips and a Bridge Sport saddle with hollow cr-mo rails, the Vado SL 2 Carbon offers a sophisticated, secure, and ultra-lightweight partner for any journey.
