The Specialized Turb Vado SL is one of our favorite e-bikes on the market today. It’s ideal for everyday commuting, grocery runs, getting around town, and weekend adventures. The number one question we get about e-bikes is the range. With the range extender, the Turbo Vado SL gets up to 120 miles!
The Turbo Vado SL comes with all the bells and whistles. This includes built-in lights, a handlebar-mounted computer, and an integrated battery that keeps the weight low on the bike. Are there cheaper e-bikes out there? Sure! But buying from a trusted brand like Specialized, you get decades of bike manufacturing experience and refinement that are hard to find with other brands.
Fully integrated and secure Specialized 320Wh downtube battery w/optional Range Extender compatibility for up to 120 miles of range.
Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor, peak 240W / 35Nm, 2x you rider amplification (180% assistance), assist up to 28mph.
Premium lightweight E5 Aluminum frame.
Clean internal cable routing, fender/rack mounts, and reflective graphics.
Premium hydraulic disc brakes for maximum stopping power.
Bright, integrated front and rear lighting to see and be seen.
10-speed Shimano Deore shifting for reliable performance for the long haul.
Durable, lightweight alloy wheels paired with fast-rolling, high-grip, Specialized Pathfinder 38c tires, featuring proprietary Gripton rubber compound, are as good on gravel as they are on pavement.
SPECIALIZED SL RANGE-EXTENDER BATTERY
Our Take
The Turbo Vado SL would make a great option for someone looking to get one of the lightest e bikes available. It’s about 40% lighter than the average e-bike, which means loading it onto the bike rack is much easier! The added benefit of the range extender makes this bike a no-brainer in the range category too. If we had our pick, the SL 4.0 EQ with built-in fenders and rear rack would be our go-to!
Are you looking for the ultimate trail bike? Look no further than the Specialized Stumpjumper EVO, one of the most anticipated bikes of the year. The 2020 model was voted the 2020 Pinkbike Mountain Bike of the year for it’s “. . . effortless handling and ability to excel on a wide variety of terrain are what really cemented the win, although the massive amount of storage in the down tube didn’t hurt either.” The Stumpjumper EVO has everything worth looking for in a modern full suspension mountain bike.
The 2021 Stumpjumper EVO comes in a wide variety of builds ranging from the $5,000 Stumpjumper EVO Comp to the $10,000 S-Works. One of the Bikeparts.com personal favorites is the $6000 Stumpjumper EVO Expert!
It is conventional wisdom that most bike tires will last 1000-3000 miles on average. Depending on how often you ride this can be as often as every 6 months. If it’s time for new tires on your bike, consider some of these shop favorites for road, gravel, and mountain bikes.
Specialized Turbo Pro
Specialized has been really stepping up their tires in recent years and a standout tire in our minds in the Specialized Turbo Pro. This tire features a great tread, supple casing, and unrivaled GRIPTON® compound, extremely low rolling resistance, and superior cornering traction. Put it all together, and you’ll be climbing and descending with confidence and speed.
SPECIALIZED TURBO PRO 700 X 28 – 2021
Panaracer GravelKing
Panaracer makes reliable tires for gravel biking. The tried and true GravelKing is a high-performance all-road tire that can handle a wide variety of road or trail conditions and performs well through a wide range of inflation levels. The nearly smooth tread keeps rolling resistance low. At $50, they won’t break the bank either.
PANARACER GRAVELKING TIRE – 650B X 48, TUBELESS, FOLDING, BLACK/BROWN
Maxxis DHF
The Minion DHF from Maxxis is a great tire that is intended for the front but also works great on the rear. It has become the benchmark for riders wanting maximum control in loose and muddy conditions. The directional ramped center knobs provide low rolling resistance and signature channel cut side knobs provide excellent cornering traction. This tire thrives in loose, loose over hard, medium, and wet conditions.

The Vado’s Specialized 1.2 motor is fully integrated with the frame, and it’s also been custom-tuned for city riding.

This new Tarmac comes ready to race out of the box, featuring a crisp Shimano Ultegra 8000 groupset, resplendent Roval SLX 24 alloy rims laced to DT Swiss hubs, our fastest S-Works Turbo 26mm tires, and a sublime Toupé Expert Gel saddle.

Today kicks off Stage 1 of the Colorado Classic in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and in just a few days, these phenomenal racers will grace the streets of Golden, Colorado. At Peak Cycles Bicycle Shop, we couldn’t be more excited to see the race unfold! More so, we embrace this opportunity to support the movement to inspire women, challenge and redefine female professional cycling, and empower women of all ages to cycle, train, race and enjoy all that the world of cycling offers. We invite you to do the same!
As the race develops, witnessing the athleticism, strength, endurance, and race strategies these athletes embody is inspiring. Capture that inspiration and take action on it! Get young girls, teenagers, and women interested in cycling and further support their existing training and racing programs with bike parts, cycling apparel, and cycling related products that the women racing in the Colorado Classic have available to them.
Support doesn’t have to cost a lot but it could make a huge difference. Think of it this way, your support and inspiration could be the confidence-building or the inspiration needed to take action on dreams, goals, and achievements that would never be realized. Just like the Colorado Classic. This is the only stand-alone women’s pro race in the Western Hemisphere – with the same prize money as the men. The Colorado Classic is making big strides in the world of women’s cycling and so can you. There are countless ways to support women’s cycling. Following are just a few:
Ride together! Whether you are riding the road or hitting some great single track, stick together and ride together. Maybe do intervals or practice skills on the mountain bike. Riding together rather than dropping your female cyclist can ease the mental toll that creates from the constant pressure to keep up with you or the group. You don’t have to ride together every ride, but certainly, on no-drop rides – ensure they really are no-drop rides. This invites beginners and riders with less confidence to find their way into the group, gain some skill level, and improve fitness. Consider it “paying it forward”.
The pro riders in the Colorado Classic are riding, training, and racing on quality road bikes. Support your female cyclist in having a good bike – and a well-fitting bike! Surprisingly, great road bicycles don’t have to come at a hefty price tag. Right now, in our Golden, Colorado shop we have a huge end of summer sale. Now is the time to take advantage of the 40% off on select Specialized bikes and gear. We also have a wide selection of women’s cycling apparel so it’s worth taking the time to stop in, try some things on, check out the road and mountain bikes, and cash in on the end of summer sale.
Pay attention to the nutritional differences of female athletes. Specific to training and racing, many cyclists have different preferences as to how they prefer to get their fuel while riding – whether that is in nutrition bars, gels, and liquids. We have several options including nutritional products just for women. Specifically, Osmo nutrition. This product is specific to women offering three options: active hydration, acute recovery, and preload hydration. These options are definitely worth looking into considering that oftentimes, female nutritional requirements differ from men’s requirements.
Take training to another level withheart rate monitors and power meters. Pro riders train with power and heart rate and even recreational riders do too. Some mistakingly think that technology takes away the “riding experience” or that it is too costly for their level of riding. However, times have changed and power meters are much more affordable. Specific to cycling performance, they offer objective biofeedback to help improve fitness related to goals. Many cyclists goes by “feel” as to whether or not they are getting stronger, faster, or “better” but power meters take the guessing out of the equation and offer precise feedback that gives true confidence that there is an improvement.
Last but not least, get a bike fit! Pro riders get bike fits – and so can you! An often overlooked component of successful racing and training is a bike fit. Leg strength, endurance, and fitness are at the heart of cycling speed, but without a proper bike fit, you are sabotaging your training efforts. Bike fits aren’t just for the pros, they are for everyone that rides. So go ahead and make the best of your training efforts and schedule a bike fit in our professional bike fit studio.
There are countless suggestions that we can offer for training and racing tips to support women’s cycling. Stop by the Peak Cycles Bicycle Shop on Saturday during Stage 3 of the Colorado Classic and ask our staff for ideas and suggestions. Also, keep current by following our Facebook page and Twitter feed for updates.
The summer riding season is in full swing here in Golden, Colorado! While there is still lots of riding to do, your bike may be feeling a tad worn down.

Get New Bike Parts! If you’ve wanted to try something new, now is the time to do it. Buy it at a discount and experiment with your bike set up. With so many bike parts – the question is what to purchase? Consider getting a high quality wheel set. A good wheel set impacts ride quality, ease of pedaling, reliability, and functionality.

Replace old bike parts! Replace bike parts regularly. Don’t wait until you hear odd little noises or you notice that your bike is taking too long for the brakes to engage before investigating.

If you plan to ride through the winter months, stay one step ahead of the game by purchasing these types of bike parts on sale and have them on hand when you need them.

Never one to be left out of all the fun, Specialized has joined Trek and many small brands in debuting a fatbike for the 2013/2014 winter. However, unlike Trek and many other brands, the Fatboy is mass produced in great numbers and available world-wide. With a carbon fork, press-fit bottom bracket and Sram 2×10 drivetrain, the Fatboy is definitely one of the more race-ready fatbikes available. The Fatboy also shares the same geometry as the legendary Specialized Stumpjumper, the first and longest mass-produced mountain bike in the world. Not just for racers, though, the frame has rear rack mounts for long rides and multi-day fun!
We’ve got a Fatboy in the shop just in time for winter here in Golden. Jump past the break to see what bike parts and features make this fatbike stand out from the rest!
