The Specialized Vado SL 4.0 ST is a super-light electric bike designed to handle everything from daily urban commutes to intense workout sessions. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, it offers an unparalleled combination of ride quality, range, and power. Whether you’re commuting through the city or pushing your fitness limits, the Vado SL 4.0 is ready to deliver.
Thanks to its lightweight design, carrying your bike is effortless—perfect for public transportation, staircases, or mounting on a wall or car rack. Despite its featherweight status, it’s packed with features that make every ride smooth and efficient. The integrated bright front and rear lights enhance visibility in low-light conditions, while the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) displays all essential ride data.
Equipped with Pathfinder tires, the Vado SL 4.0 ST ensures fast rolling on various surfaces with excellent grip. The premium lightweight E5 Aluminum frame, clean internal cable routing, and reflective graphics add both functionality and style to your ride. The Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor provides up to 240W of peak power with 35Nm of torque, offering 180% rider amplification for effortless climbing and quick acceleration.
The fully integrated 320Wh downtube battery provides a range of up to 80 miles (130 km) or 6 hours in eco mode. For even longer rides, the optional Range Extender increases the range up to 120 miles (200 km) or 9 hours in eco mode. Premium hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in all conditions, while the SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain ensures smooth and precise shifting.
