Bottom line
The Specialized Turbo Tero X range includes three off-road capable e-bikes offering varying torque outputs (50-90 Nm), RockShox suspension forks of varying quality, and battery capacities between 530 Wh and 710 Wh. It’s a highly versatile bike that can cover commuting, off-road and even bikepacking duties. The Tero X’s unified rear triangle suspension is not intended to to keep up with the four-bar linkage setups on performance e-MTBs. But it remains plenty capable, while keeping maintenance simple and prices lower. Some reviewers see the Tero X as filling a gap for non-bodacious e-MTB riders seeking something that can handle rough trails, but where a trail/enduro slayer is not required.Expert Reviews
