The Specialized Turbo Vado SL Electric Hybrid Bike is an ultra-lightweight e-bike engineered to tackle everything from daily urban commutes to intense workouts with ease. Weighing 40% less than its full-power counterpart, the Vado SL offers unrivaled ride quality, range, and power. Simply hop on and go.

Equipped with integrated, extra-bright lights for increased visibility in low-light conditions and a MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) for on-the-go ride information, the Vado SL is ready to ride right out of the box. Its Pathfinder tyres ensure smooth rolling on pavement or off-road, while its featherweight design makes it ideal for city commuting and easy to transport on racks or public transportation.

Experience unparalleled comfort and confidence with optimised body position and handling, complemented by powerful hydraulic disc brakes and larger tyres for maximum traction. At the heart of the Vado SL lies Turbo SL technology, delivering a lightweight, natural feel with anti-theft features, training tips, and a full-function bike computer.

With a fully integrated 320Wh downtube battery and optional Range Extender compatibility, the Vado SL offers up to 80 miles of range or 6 hours in eco mode, extendable to 120 miles or 9 hours with a range extender. Its Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor provides peak 240W/35Nm output, amplifying your pedaling effort by 180%.

Safety features include premium hydraulic disc brakes and extra-bright front and rear lighting, while a step-through frame facilitates easy on/off and maneuvering in commuter traffic. The Turbo SL mounted rear rack is Racktime-compatible, and DRYTECH fenders keep spray at bay.

Built for long-haul performance, the Vado SL boasts a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and DT Swiss R500 disc wheels paired with Nimbus II Sport Reflect 700 tyres for fast-rolling, high-grip performance with BlackBelt flat protection and reflective accents for increased visibility. Get ready to go fast and far with the confidence to conquer any terrain on the Turbo Vado SL.
