    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Problem I'm finding is that shifting gears before the crank wheel stops turning results in noisy protest form the cassette gears. A second and a half doesn't seem long but forward momentum takes big big hit when doing this whilst going uphill.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I'm riding a 2020 Turbo Como 5.0 and have also noticed the crank wheel spinning after a pedal stroke. It takes about 1.5 seconds to stop. That's a long time to wait to down shift gears while going up a hill. Anyone know if that lag time can be adjusted?

    Have you tried downshifting? My Como 5.0 seems to cycle in and out when my cadence gets below 50 while going uphill. Problem disappears when I shift to lower gears.

    What Real World Range Are You Seeing With Your Specialized Turbo?

    Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 2020. This afternoon I realized that I was averaging 20 miles per 33% of battery usage or 60 miles on a full charge (not including that at 5% the bike cuts most power) with 10 mph headwinds about a third of the trip! Maybe 95% of the time at ECO mode, rolling hills...

    What Real World Range Are You Seeing With Your Specialized Turbo?

    My Turbo Como 5.0 is getting about the same milages as most of the above folks. I feel comfortable when planning a 45 mile roundtrip on moderately hilly suburban roads. My experience is that rider weight counts a lot especially when being hauled up elevations. Speed is also big, turbo mode...
