Vado SL2 5.0 Specification

[Dirtbagg]

In reading the spec’ for the new alloy Vado SL2 5.0 I noticed that the numbers in the ‘Geometry’ tab are essentially the same for both the SL2 5.0 alloy and the 6.0 Carbon ( for example: head tube angle @ 69). Under the ‘Technical Specification’ tab, however, both the frame and fork are listed as “2024 Vado SL”. I think I’m missing something?

“2024 Vado SL”

In my opinion, a careless entry. Certainly, both the frame and fork were designed (and probably manufactured) in 2024 but why confuse customers and not just enter "2025"?

2024 Vado SL in the spec shows that this model was build in 2023 as a 2024 model (being sold in the late 2023). Since the rules are rather strict on E-Bikes they could not change that. So this is a delayed intro of stock bikes which would come to market in regions where the demand is. Usually brands aim for Eurobike to release their e-bikes for the next model year of if they have a strong house show like Spesh, Trek and C'dale used to have they would release them there.
