We recently reviewed the exceptionalVado SL 2 Carbonand loved its excellent power, quiet ride, and smooth handling.
That’ll get you the new Vado SL 2 Alloy 4.0 or 5.0 respectively.
So what do you get in the 4.0 and 5.0 models over the more expensive carbon option?
They’re very similar in spec (hence the closeness in price).
Both are available in either equipped or step-through configurations.
The 4.0 and 5.0 both feature aluminum frame and fork designs, as well as Future Shock 3.1 suspension.
The 5.0 features Tektro TKD-148 brakes, as opposed to Tektro HD-R285 brakes on the 4.0.
The big miss over the more expensive carbon version is obviously the carbon frame.
