Supernatural Power

Torque of the SL 1.2 system. Compared to our previous system, the SL 1.2 delivers 43% more torque exactly when you need it. With 50 Nm of torque at low cadences, it helps you get going on the steepest climbs.
Customization and Settings
Use the Specialized app to set up your bike just the way you want it so your ride goes smoothly: you can customize your heart rate, as well as power and cadence, in real time. Or, if you prefer, you can just hop on and let the computer do the work in the background.
MasterMind H3 and MicroTune
The high-resolution MasterMind H3 computer displays all the information you need: charge level, assist mode, route data, and personal performance metrics. You can even connect other devices via Bluetooth. With MicroTune, the Turbo Vado SL 2 Carbon’s power is released in 10% increments, allowing you to adjust the assist level to make your ride as efficient as possible.
Future Shock 3.1
The 20 mm of ultra-lightweight, patented suspension provides a smoother, more controlled ride so you can ride fast, safely, and with confidence.
The Vado SL 2 features the Future Shock 3.1 system, which, with its 20 mm of travel, reduces impacts by more than 53% compared to a bike without suspension. The Future Shock system provides stability to your hands and the handlebars, resulting in a smoother, more controlled ride that allows you to ride more safely, quickly, and confidently; it also reduces fatigue when you spend a lot of time in the saddle. On the other hand, frames that integrate a motor and battery are stiffer and more rigid. Future Shock compensates for that stiffness and makes the Vado SL 2 feel smoother and more comfortable.
Apple Find My and Turbo System Lock
Keep your bike secure with built-in features you can control from your phone.
We’ve partnered directly with Apple to create a revolutionary integration. You no longer need an AirTag to protect your bike. Just sync the MasterMind H3 computer with your iPhone, and you’ll be able to track your bike in the Find My app.
Turbo System Lock
Activate Turbo System Lock in the Specialized app and put your mind at ease. When you do, your Vado SL 2’s motor will be disabled, and an alarm will sound if the bike is detected moving. When you’re ready to ride again, enter your personal PIN in the app, and it will unlock.
