    Tero X5 New Colors

    It looks like Specialized will be offering gloss metallic deep lake and satin burnt gold metallic for the Tero X 5.0. My favorite color is the deep lake. I love my X5, probably the best bike I’ve owned. This new color has tempted me to sell my onyx red X5 and get the blue. It wouldn’t be a very...

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    Actually, the warranty most likely would cover that. I have a carbon Sirrus X5 with a kickstand that has tipped over once and suffered no damage.

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    With the weight increase, and I assume an even larger increase for the upcoming alloy models, it does make sense to at least consider the full power models instead. That said, the more I see of the new SL 2 the more interested I get. I really dig this bike but will likely wait for the alloy models.

    2025 Vado

    The main difference is the drivetrain using the Shimano CUES instead of the Sram. I don't know if the CUES is an upgrade or not.

    2025 Vado

    I'm pretty sure there will be one. I think they're waiting until stock gets a bit lower on the current model.

    2025 Vado

    I noticed Specialized posted a 2025 Vado 5 ST with a few new specs to show include Shimano CUES group set and brakes and a Cane Creek Thudbuster suspension seat post. It’ll be interesting to see what changes the Vado 3 and 4 will get...

    The Weight of Specialized Full-Power E-Bikes Listed As Dry Weight (Without Battery)?

    I weighed my Tero X5 with the large frame, with Rock Bros pedals that aren’t particularly light, and a water bottle cage. It also has the original tires with tubes. I used a very nice digital fish scale and hung the bike from the scale which was attached to a shelf bracket. The weight is 60.82...

    The Weight of Specialized Full-Power E-Bikes Listed As Dry Weight (Without Battery)?

    I’ll weigh my X5 later with the battery. On the US site I believe they list the X6 in a medium frame at 58lbs.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Hard to say what's true. The dealer I talked to said he had a meeting yesterday with the inside rep who told him. They ordered 5 bikes. We'll see but I won't be surprised if it's the 1.1 but it doesn't make any sense from a manufacturing standpoint to offer both motors.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    A Specialized dealer told me today that the Vado SL with the 1.2 is due very soon, likely in September.

    Current Vado/Tero motors

    Not that I've noticed. They're the same motor and are very quiet relative to other brands.

    Current Vado/Tero motors

    My Vado 3IGH is a little louder than my Tero X5 and my wife’s Vado 4. It’s not much louder but is noticeable, not annoying, though.

    Specialized in NYC - UL Certification?

    I believe this is true. I’m very surprised Specialized hasn’t gotten certified.

    Como 3.0 IGH battery upgrade

    That's certainly what I'd do and have done on longer rides.
