BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 is a high-end commuter in a low-key skin. Durable, quality, brand-name components are blended with Specialized’s own proprietary gear. Handling and assistance are supple. With 70 Nm of torque, it climbs effortlessly. A fine-tuned 250W motor allows the Vado to outdo many 750W fatbikes. Even so, the Vado 4.0 is no lightweight itself, ranging from 53 lb for a step-through model, up to 60 lb for the stepover. For something svelter, you’ll need to look to the Turbo Vado 4.0 SL. This bike consistently impresses experts and riders, due to its high-end componentry, engineering and design, all of which are reflected in this bike’s not-insignificant price.Expert Reviews
