Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 2026

The Turbo Vado is a fast, reliable, and safe e-bike that allows you to carry lots of stuff. Use it to go to work or to the gym; it will take you wherever you want to go in no time.

Turbo
Turbo technology is at the heart of the Vado. An advanced, integrated e-bike system that is powerful, provides natural pedaling assistance, has anti-theft features, a multifunctional display, and a range of up to 150km.

Powerful
It's you, only faster. The Turbo Full Power system amplifies your pedaling effort fourfold. Climbs will seem to disappear as if by magic.

Comfort and confidence
The riding position and handling ensure unparalleled comfort, perfect control, and maximum confidence. Powerful disc brakes allow you to brake even when pedaling at speed, while wide tires provide maximum traction when cornering. The 80mm travel suspension fork absorbs vibrations and small bumps.

Security
You can disable the motor so that no one can reactivate it without your phone with the Specialized App or your personal PIN. If someone tries to move your bike, an alarm will sound. For added protection, lock the battery to the bike or take it with you.

Features

• The Turbo Full Power 2.0 motor with 710 Wh battery provides smooth and quiet assistance, amplifying your efforts up to 25 km/h.
• The system reacts to your input on the pedals, resulting in a very natural and intuitive feel.
• MasterMind and Specialized App - The MasterMind display shows all the data related to your ride and allows you to adjust the assistance levels in real time. MasterMind integrates seamlessly with the Specialized App, which provides tools for optimizing range, fine-tuning settings, system diagnostics, and more.
• Proven efficiency and smoothness - We've created a mechanism to analyze shocks even at the lowest frequencies to improve comfort and vision. This precision, combined with a dropper seatpost, high-volume tires, and an 80mm travel suspension fork, will smooth your ride.
• Turbo System Lock - With the Specialized App, you can disable your bike's motor and activate the motion sensor with the alarm. Once locked, the motor cannot be started by anyone other than the owner.
• The battery is fully integrated into the down tube, lockable and removable, making it easy to charge.
• Supplied complete with DRYTECH mudguards, front and rear LED lights, and HD rear rack with 27kg capacity, compatible with child seats. Trailer hitches with thru-axles can be used.
