Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 Carbon: a premium eBike for moving fast and in style

Urban Cycling 09/10/24 15:00 Migue A.

More than an electric bicycle, Specialized presents the Turbo Vado SL2 Carbon, its new premium sustainable mobility vehicle. A bike that will allow you to travel any road with style, speed, and confidence combining the lightness provided by its carbon frame with the power added by the also lightweight Specialized SL 1.2 motor.

The ultimate way to get around the city is called Specialized Turbo Vado SL2 Carbon

Specialized never ceases to amaze us with its electric bicycles, and it does so in the field where assistance can be most beneficial, mobility, evolving towards a new version of its Turbo Vado that becomes a true top-level vehicle to make our city commutes faster, more fun, and safer.

To achieve this, Specialized builds this Turbo Vado SL2 on a carbon frame to achieve the best performance in terms of rigidity but also to create an electric bike with the lightest possible weight, just 14.9 kg. This is also helped by its very light SL 1.2 motor, the same one used by its Levo SL2 sisters capable of providing 320 W and 50 Nm of torque but in a progressive and studied way to maintain the most natural pedaling possible.

A motor that is accompanied by a battery of no less than 520 Wh, allowing for up to 5 hours of autonomy, which means we have to worry less about having enough energy for our commutes. And if that still seems insufficient, the usual Range Extender can be installed, adding an extra 160 Wh.

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL2 is also a bike designed to provide confidence to its rider thanks to its studied geometry and ergonomics, and solutions like the integrated suspension system in the Future Shock 3.2 seatpost with its 20 mm of travel capable of mitigating the irregularities of the road.

Of course, with a bike of the level of the Specialized Turbo Vado SL2, we may hesitate to leave it parked in the city. We don't have to worry because it integrates the Apple Find My system that allows us to find the bike in case of theft, as well as the Turbo System Lock anti-theft system.

Specialized has not forgotten about versatility, being able to equip it with a multitude of accessories such as front and rear MIK rack, fenders, specific panniers, child seat, or even a trailer if we want to maximize its load capacity.
