New Vado frame?

On specialized.com right now this photo is on the splash page. Clearly a different frame than the bikes being sold online and in stores. Has anyone heard of changes to the frame for 2023?

What are you claiming is different? It looks just like my 2022.

The toptube leading into the seat stay?

Ah. Missed that. Yeah, mine is like the old picture.

I just ordered a 22 Friday and saw this on the site last night. Have to admit, I prefer the "new" one. Hope I don't end up with buyer's remorse!

isn’t that just a smaller size? look at the junction of the top tube, downtube, and stem tube - the top of the top tube is much “lower” in the new one, and from there it gets lower still as it slopes down to the seat tube. it’s also the IGH version, of course, so the drivetrain is different.

Right on the point!
