Specialized Turbo Como SL 4.0 - 2022 - Raspberry / Transparent

The Turbo Como SL 4.0 is a city ebike designed for urban adventures and the rigours of day-to-day use. The frame has a low step-through design that makes it easy to mount or dismount. The upright riding position is comfortable and confidence-inspiring, allowing you to look over traffic and maintain control with ease. The SL model differs from its full-power counterpart in that the motor is less torquey, the battery is smaller, the weight lower and, importantly, it is more affordable.

The Turbo SL electric assist system can multiply your input effort by up to 2 times with a motor that produces 240W of power and 35Nm of torque. The battery has a 320Wh capacity which, due to the lower power output of the motor, still yields an impressive range. You can use the Mission Control app to monitor usage, record rides and configure the electronics to your heart's content. It can be used to configure power output by setting the desired range or ride time, among many other useful features.

The drivetrain is a very low-maintenance Shimano Nexus hub-gear system. You can shift through the 5 gears at any time, even when you're stopped at a set of traffic lights. Additionally, there is no derailleur to get in the way and worry about bashing when you lock your bike up. The chunky single-speed has a long lifespan, so you can go longer between visits to your local bike shop. Your clothes are safe from stains too because they're shielded from the chain by an integrated chain case.

The chunky 2.3" tyres have loads of grip and cushioning for a smooth ride on even the worst roads and hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. Integrated lights keep you visible 24 hours a day, in all conditions and they're connected to the main battery, so you don't need to worry about charging them. Mudguards ensure that you stay clean and dry, even on winter roads.

If you want a low-maintenance and lightweight electric bike for commuting, hauling groceries or just having fun, then it would be hard to go wrong with the Turbo Como 4.0 SL.
