There is an extra power port on my vado 4.0 2022 motor which I had assumed might be for the radar that Specialized provide (as standard on the vado 5, but apparently an option on the other vados of that year). Anyone know if that is the case, and if you can get the correct specialized...

Just released from Garmin... But no Specialized compatible cable as yet.. https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/874099/pn/010-VARIA-SH

That's a Como it's mounted on in the video. Angle of VADO headset might be different.

Thanks for the update Jessed. Can I just check - you had to drill new holes into the adventure plate to be able to use the MIK adaptor? Such a shame that using a MIK adaptor wasn't a standard option as part of the plate design (if I buy it, my use would likely be as yours - ie using MIK to...

Of course.. the suspension compression! Good spot / clarification.

Video on product webpage shows a Vado 5 with light in both original, and rack, mounting locations. [EDIT / UPDATE: As Jessed later notes, the compression of the forks would mean the light can't stay in its original position on the VADO 5, as it would compress into the carrier rack] Others have...

There are 2 parts which come together. 1: The rack (which is attached directly to bike) and looks a bit like the top of the rear rack - allowing a MIK adaptor. 2: The adventure plate, which i think is initially bolted directly on, but which you can remove to use things that are MIK...

Thanks for posting. Is keeping the light in its original location possible? And if so, which Vado so you have (light mount on the 5.0 is different) And does the light mounting point from the front rack remove? Or fixed in place (sticking out front)? I'm thinking of buying the front rack, but...

Some photos show the light reamaining in the original position, some show it shifted to front of rack (not sure if that means that moving the light is optional, or the different pictures are taking account of the different stock mounts on 5.0 vs4.0 (eg. Only one might not interfere with rack, or...

I haven't yet seen one in the flesh (I'm also in UK), but from the photos I'm working on basis that with the 'adventure plate' removed it will be about the same surface dimensions as the rear carrier (as both are MIK compatible). It also looks from the photos that the 'Adventure plate' is...

I got the Abus 5750 - Large. It fits and works well on my 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0 I chose it as, based on reviews at the time, it's was the one that I was most confident would fit/work

Still not available to purchase via specialized website, but it has now appeared in one of their videos

McConveys, Ormeau Road, Belfast. Seemed to have a steady supply, but maybe only 1 or 2 at a time so you might have to wait for a specific size, colour and/or frame type.

This part of the Specialized advice seems to be broadly correct (see my other message where I tested this after your post). Thanks for the pointer

Update: on the back of projectman's update... I've been able to trigger the alarm on my TURBO VADO 4.0 (2022)!!! As before, I activated the lock and deactivated Bluetooth on my phone so the bike wouldn't know I was nearby (I don't know if this is matters or not) As before, shaking the bike...

Hi ProjectMan No, I have not received any reply since logging the issue (mine is a 2022 Turbo Vado 4)

Hi, thanks for suggestion. Yes, have tried that (and a few other things, see original post). Cheers.

Hi The handlebar mount has a small GoPro (the Hero 5 session) below it. That's probably what you can see. There is also a rear facing one under the seat. I do use the top of the handlebar mount to hold a seesense.cc Beam+ via a Garmin style mount, but it's not actually in the pic. While...

For reference, the follow from Altura (thunderstorm) had a different klickfix fitting from that used on the Altura Grid, but still did not fit onto the lower pannier rail...

Thanks for the various suggestions. I bought the following from Decathalon as: they fitted onto the lower rail, were a good size (24l) each, waterproof, very good reflectivity at the base of all 3 outward facing sides, sat low on the rail, had a solid base, and I thought looked well on the...
