The Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 is an e-bike that straddles two worlds, delivering solid performance in both. It is at once a capable eMTB with a 250W mid-drive motor delivering 70Nm of torque and conquering terrain with a SRAM 12-speed drivetrain and 4-piston hydraulic brakes. The Turbo Tero X 5.0 is also a zippy Class 3 commuter that comes standard with the commuter’s necessities: fenders, lights, rear rack and kickstand. In our Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 review we will dig into the specs that make this e-bike do two things well.
Specialized describes the Turbo Tero X 5.0 as the SUV of the e-bike world, and we won’t disagree. We rarely encounter an e-bike that can perform so well in two different realms. Most products meant to straddle two worlds usually end up doing neither particularly well. Not so with this e-bike.
Visually, this e-bike might surprise thanks to its mullet setup-29-in. wheel front and 27.5-in. wheel rear. This setup was chosen specifically for how it helps handling in off-road riding.
For riders looking for a speedy commuter that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, the Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 gives riders one of the smoothest rides on pavement they are likely to find thanks to its full-suspension design.

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 With everything the Tero X can do, will you hit the trails, use it as a daily ride to work, or both? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
having lived iin Boise for years, with mountain biking several times a week, weather permiting, I'm ready to get mobility back again in SC. This looks like the bike for me, enough for occasional mtn biking, great for around town/grocery errands, and perfect for the beach. Thanks for your concise reviews, your info is highly valued!
I love my turbo Vado SL and gravel ride it all the time , I have over 2500 mi on it with absolutely no problems , the tero x may be my next bike and I would definitely trail ride it too as well as hit town on it
Both
superbike. Quality workmanship, great optics. balanced setup, super natural engine that gives enough power. You can do just about anything with this bike. I love it.
Yep...and the fenders scream Mister Rodgers all the way down the street....
Well... Just google for brose Mag s reliability. Quality workmanship not possible if such unreliable motor is still being used by Specialized
This looks like the ultimate Dad bike to me (in a good way.) I have two kids with another on the way and we go on trips where we nearly always ride. Got a kid in front of me on a Shotgun seat, another in a pull behind two kid trailer, with diaper bag and food/drinks. So both boys and their stuff + trailer is over 100 lbs of extra weight. We go to the beach, Mountains with techy trails, and farmland. This looks like best bike for all these places while hauling kids.
excellent review, covered all my questions, thank you!
So good to have the live hill climb back! Nice to hear how hard the motor and rider have to work. Hope it stays in all future videos
It'll be a mix for a while, but we're looking to transition back to that fully down the line :)
Waiting for mine to be delivered to the shop just wanted to some affirmation that I made the right decision. Thanks for the info, great video!
Great review. I’d love one of these.
Fantastic review, you have covered all the things that are important, so much so that I have just ordered an XL in Red Onyx based on watching this video.
Glad it was helpful! We hope you enjoy the ride.
Thank you so much for share! Greatings from Colombia 🎉
Thanks for watching!
I have a Vado 5.0 w the igh. I got what I feel is a fantastic deal on it. But I did ride a Tero first. I’ll just say that if I could have gotten a Tero X for closer to what I paid for the Vado 5.0 I may have been riding that instead. But I am blown away by the Vado. I am not a small person. Weighing 240 lbs the 2.2 motor with its 90nM make light work of getting around fast! I can see why they call it turbo. Freakin love it! On turbo! The Envolo igh is a game changer too. It’s nice not to have to worry about shifting under power and rallying a $900 drivetrain. Plus it’s sooooo smooth and quiet. Not clanking and skipping chains that sometimes pop off. I think I am converted.
Best review on youtube. A+
Thank you kindly :) Pleas subscribe if you haven't yet!
Super good review thank you. Definitely a bike for me. A little single track, bike packing and touring. Also just for running to town for leisure.
It's an awesome bike. Thanks for watching!
The Cool Cave pannier on your test bike has a cover...where do you get that cover? What a sick bike. Really rad.
Really great review. Might get me to pull the trigger on this bike. Was thinking about getting a Vado and putting some off road tires on it but I think this might be the way to go even though it's pricier to be sure.
We do love the Vado! If you're intending to do some offroading, this will lend itself better to that out of the box for sure. If you can afford it, the cost would be worth it in our opinion.
Now thats a bike
Is this a lot more comfortable on paved streets than the Levo?
Awesome bike. I never considered a mid drive or a rear suspension bike but that Specialized looks solid. Please review the Rize X 1000 fat tire.
Thanks for watching! We'll look into that one.
Love this channel. Your review process makes me feel like I’m on the bike. So many cool bikes arriving on the market but your videos show us what to look for on a quality bike. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Seems like an excellent all-purpose bike. Unfortunately, class 3 e-bikes are not legally allowed on a bike path in Canada. I am 63 years old and comfortably use my class 1 e-bike on a daily 32km commute.
Would love to know if this is a better option than Bulls Iconic Evo TR2 Speed. The Bulls has the latest and greatest Bosch motor. Anyone can give me their preference and why?
How is this bike in the occasional mud and wet?
Take that class 3 bike and upgrade the fork and rear shock and you have a beast.
between the vado SL as a commuter bike stretching into a gravel/touring bike, and the Tero 5 as a MTB stretching into a city/touring bike, which one's a better choice?
There is no one good answer but severals. All depends on your needs. The Vado SL is much more lighter, nimble and sporty but maybe stiffer than the Tero 5. The Tero 5 has a more wider tires and is more smooth on harsh roads but it’s more heavy and less nimble. You really need to try the twos and make your mind by yourself.
Do you think upgrading to the 6.0 version with better components and motor is worth the extra $1000?
Id say probably. But maybe test ride first. I have a Vado 5.0 w the igh. It has the 90nM 2.2 motor. I love it!!!! Worth the money so long as you want to ride a lot and go fast.
Herein Germany it is restricted to 25km/ (15.5km/h) is there anything I could do about it?
Yes, search levociraptor
15.5kmh is far too slow like here in the UK. So you can easily fit a Speedbox 3.0 tuning device which will derestrict the bike to 28mph
@@user-mg8pj8vl2g sorry, 15.5 miles/h!
Yes I can get it here for 299€
@@user-mg8pj8vl2g Better check what your warranty says about using a speedbox
Hello, I have ordered last weel a Tero X 4.0 on Specialized web shop. Price is 2100 euro tax and transport included. Smoller battery is ok for my use the only dubt is about the poor torque respect the higher models. Is it possible to make upgrade of the motor ornot?
Hello, I also ordered a Specialized Turbo Tero X 4.0 for about 2100 euros (In Poland) and I have the same doubts about the torque of 50 Nm, I don't know if it would be enough for me. I;m wondering to cancel the order and look for something else or keep it.
I did the same, 2100 euro in Poland:) difficult to beat this price for a full emtb. We will see, but 50nm should be ok, turbo is not often used, it drains battery fast
I changed my mind and canceled turbo tero X 4.0 and have bought brand new turbo tero X 5.0

Can i do wheelies with the rear fender?
You prolly could...at the expense of looking like a total geek w/the fenders...
@@robertallen6710 Fortunately for me I stopped worrying what others think of me, try it, its liberating!
This bike has the same motor and battery as the Vado 4, but testing showed an increase in range for the Tero. That makes no sense. I think something may have been off with the Vado 4 you tested.
From what I heard, motor is the latest gen of 2.0, which is different from last year's vado.
VADO IGH 3,4 or 5?
Haven't done the Vado IGH, but our review of the Vado 4.0 is one of the best rides we've had. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them, just go with what works for your budget.
@@ElectricBikeReportYour review of the Vado 4.0 was the best ebike review I’ve ever seen. Hoping you do the series someday with this incredible IGH technology.
What, no cup holder, no ashtray?
There are probably schematics for them via 3D printer somewhere!
thanks for the humor.....humor is missed in business these days....pound those peddles.....
Why do they call it a mullet? Mullets are short on front and long at the back? So it’s not a mullet lol. Annoys me. 😂😂
Pronounced pan-yay .😊
Way too rich for my blood @ $5500
Take it out to Guacamole and tear the fenders off! The fenders make it a commuter; unclear what Specialized is attempting with the e-Bike, but at $5,500 at least you are not going to see 11-15 year-old kids riding it ... that's saved for cheap Rad Power, Lectric and Super 73 consumer direct garbage!
Fenders make it a wannabe Mister Rodgers bike...
