The Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 EQ Carbon is a premium, high-performance machine that combines speed, power, and an exceptionally lightweight build. Specialized engineered this model with a carbon frame inspired by the world’s best bike racers to ensure telepathic handling and an ergonomic riding position. To further enhance the ride quality, the bike features Future Shock 3.2 technology, which provides an ultra-smooth experience by dampening road vibrations. Even with these advanced features, the bike remains remarkably light, weighing in at just 40 lbs.
The electric capability is driven by the Specialized SL 1.2 Custom Rx Trail Tuned motor, delivering 320 watts of power for up to 5 hours of range. This system utilizes a fully integrated 520Wh battery and is managed via a sleek cockpit featuring the Specialized Stealth Stem with an integrated display. The drivetrain is built for precision, featuring a Shimano Deore XT 12-speed rear derailleur, Shimano SLX cassette, and SRAM Carbon DUB crank arms. For reliable stopping power in all conditions, Specialized equipped the bike with TRP hydraulic disc brakes.
This "Equipped" version comes ready for daily utility and exploration, with integrated MIK Racks and DryTech Fenders standard. The wheels consist of DT Swiss G540 rims paired with Specialized Hemisphere all-terrain tires that feature flat protection and reflective sidewalls for added durability and visibility. Specialized also prioritized security and personalization by including the Turbo System Lock, Apple Find My compatibility, and a comprehensive lighting system featuring a 500-lumen Lezyne headlight and a Spanninga taillight with an auto-brake function.
