Description
The Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 is engineered to be the ultimate high-performance transportation solution, delivering an unmatched blend of speed, comfort, range, and security. Designed for riders who need a dependable, capable, and fun-to-ride e-bike, the Vado excels whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or simply exploring your city. At its heart is the Turbo Full Power 2.0 motor paired with a 710Wh removable, lockable downtube battery, providing a smooth and seamless boost that quadruples your pedaling power—helping you conquer steep hills and long rides with ease. With assistance up to 28 mph and an impressive range of up to 90 miles (145 km) in eco mode, you can cover more ground in less time, without sacrificing comfort or control.
Specialized’s design philosophy ensures the Vado rides as good as it looks. Its balanced geometry promotes stability and control, while an SR Suntour MobieA32 suspension fork with 80mm of travel, plush suspension seatpost, and high-volume Pathfinder Sport Reflect tires work together to smooth out rough streets and bike paths. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power in all conditions, and the integrated DRYTECH fenders protect you from road spray. For real-world practicality, the heavy-duty rear MIK HD rack supports up to 27kg and is compatible with child seats and thru-axle trailers, making the Vado ideal for both solo commuting and family transport duties.
Smart integration is another hallmark of the Turbo Vado 4.0. The MasterMind TCD display offers customizable ride data, on-the-fly tuning of assistance levels, and advanced range estimation tools. Paired with the Specialized app, you gain access to ride tracking, diagnostics, and firmware updates. For security, the Turbo System Lock disables the motor via the app and activates a motion-sensor alarm to deter theft—reactivating only when unlocked by your phone or personalized pin. The battery’s lockable design adds another layer of protection, allowing you to remove it for charging or safe storage.
Every component is chosen for reliability and performance. The Shimano CUES 9-speed drivetrain offers smooth, precise shifting, while durable double-wall alloy rims and DT Swiss spokes ensure a solid wheel build. Integrated Lezyne and Spanninga LED lighting increases visibility, and the Specialized commuter pedals and ergonomic grips enhance comfort on long rides. At 26.4kg (size MD), the Vado is robust yet agile, with a weight balance that feels planted and predictable at speed. Combining advanced e-bike technology, thoughtful design, and best-in-class ride quality, the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 is built to replace short car trips and redefine how you move through your day—faster, smarter, and with more enjoyment than ever before.
