Turbo Vado SL 5.0

Meet the Vado SL, a super-light e-bike designed to handle everything from daily commutes through urban landscapes to faster workouts. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, it delivers ride quality, range, and power without the weight penalty. Its featherweight design makes it perfect for carrying on racks, up stairs, or hanging on walls, while also making public transportation seamless. The Vado SL comes fully equipped to start riding immediately. Extra-bright built-in lights provide high visibility in low-light conditions, while the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) displays ride information on the go. Pathfinder tires roll fast on or off pavement with excellent grip, and the bike's lightweight construction means you can handle it with ease in any situation. The Turbo SL technology is the heart of the Vado SL, delivering an unequaled combination of lightweight design, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, a full-function bike computer, and impressive range. Body position and handling are optimized for unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes provide maximum stopping power, while larger tires deliver maximum traction for turning and stopping. The Vado SL features a fully integrated 320Wh downtube battery with optional Range Extender compatibility, offering up to 80 miles (130 km) or 6 hours in eco mode, or up to 120 miles (200 km) or 9 hours with the range extender in eco mode. The Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor delivers peak 240W/35Nm with 2x rider amplification (180% assistance) and assists up to 28mph. A premium carbon fork with Future Shock 1.5 suspension reduces impacts from rough roads and terrain, while DT Swiss R500 disc wheels paired with Specialized Pathfinder 38c tires featuring proprietary GRIPTON® rubber compound provide fast rolling and high grip.
