Key Features

• Turbo Full Power 2.2: Motor and 710Wh battery offer a smooth, seamless, and shockingly quiet amplification of your efforts, up to 28 mph, with an incredibly natural feel.
• MasterMind and Specialized app: The MasterMind display reveals all relevant info about your ride and allows real-time tuning of support levels. MasterMind seamlessly integrates with the Specialized app for range optimization tools, advanced tuning, on-ride diagnostics, and more.
• Proven Smooth Efficiency: We designed a custom testing mechanism to analyze bumps at even the smallest frequency to increase comfort and vision. That precision, paired with a suspended seatpost, higher volume tires, and an 80 mm suspension fork, will flatten roads before your eyes.
• Turbo System Lock: Use the Specialized app to disable your bike’s motor and activate the motion sensor alarm. Once locked, the motor cannot be enabled again except by the owner.
• Garmin Radar: An integrated Garmin Radar sensor lets you know when traffic is coming up behind you, detecting cars up to 140 meters away with visual, audible, and haptic alerts on MasterMind.
• Integrated Battery: Fully integrated, removable and lockable downtube battery — easy to charge, easy to secure.
• Ready to Commute: Equipped with DRYTECH Fenders, LED front and rear lights, and 27kg capacity rear HD Rack. The rear rack is compatible with child bike seats, and the bike is also rated to pull a thru-axle trailer.
• Long-Range: With a ride-anywhere range, go up to 75 miles (120 km) or 5.5 hours on a single charge (eco mode).
