Specialized launches the Vado SL 2 in aluminum: perfect for forgetting about the car

Specialized has just introduced its new Vado SL 2 in aluminum, a perfect eBike for those looking for a daily bike without sacrificing speed, comfort, and versatility on every ride. With the slogan "It's you, but faster," the Vado SL 2 promises an unparalleled pedaling experience, now with a more accessible frame without sacrificing performance.

The Specialized Vado SL 2 arrives in aluminum

At the heart of the aluminum version of the Vado SL 2 is the new Specialized SL 1.2 motor, a unit that offers powerful acceleration, up to 25 km/h. The delivery of 320 watts of power feels very natural, and its 520Wh battery allows up to 5 hours of autonomy.

Customization is key in the Vado SL 2. Thanks to the Specialized App, heart rate, power, and cadence can be monitored in real-time, offering total control of performance. The bike includes a new bright display and a remote control for a smooth and fully connected experience.

Versatility is another strong point. The Vado SL 2 has multiple mounting points for panniers, child seats, and compatibility with trailers. The bike has a load capacity of 27 kg on the rear rack and up to 14 kg on the front Tubus, making it a truly multifunctional tool.

The Future Shock 3.2 suspension system (on carbon models) and 3.1 (on aluminum models) provide 20 mm of smooth cushioning, improving comfort and control on all types of terrain. Its sleek and lightweight design is complemented by a relaxed steering angle and wider tires (47 mm), perfect for riding fast and tackling curves and rough paths, even on Gravel.

Specialized has also taken a step forward in technological security, partnering with Apple to integrate the bike with Apple Find My. This way, the Vado SL 2 can become a locatable device, increasing the cyclist's peace of mind along with the Turbo System Lock.

With this aluminum version of the Vado SL 2, Specialized offers the best of its technology in an accessible and high-performance model. Their goal is clear: to get more people on a bike and forget about the car.

The new Vado SL 2 comes in two versions, with high and low top tubes, starting at €4250, and you can check out all their setups and versions on the official Specialized website.
