Hub and Belt system on Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 your impressions? Says in 2022 on web site

[gbrawley]

I own a Trek Allant 8 plus S and like it but looking at a second commuting bike. 15 to 20 mile distances, like my Allant but would be nice to have suspension also.
Wondering are there any Specialized models with the belt system ? Are they more reliable than traditional chain, derailer system ?

thanks

Vado 5.0 IGH.

Vado 3 or 5 IGH. I have a 5 I just got for commuting this summer. It has the automatic shift. If you opt for the 3, you get the manual twist shift instead. Some other differences as well, but it is also a fair bit cheaper.
