2023 Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 QUICK TEST | A MTB in disguise

2023 Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 QUICK TEST | A MTB in disguise
Forgot to mention the price. It's about 5 200 € in Europe and 5 500 $ in the US at the time of filming.
The Tero X is a proper mountain bike, but with all the necessities you will need for commuting or adventure riding. I took it to a bike park to find its limits.
For my Nordic viewers I have just started a new eMTB forum to discuss everything around eMTBs (in Swedish).

Nice

[@retromodernart4426]

Great review, I like it! My Merida eOne-Sixty 575 has been great for both off-road rough stuff while hauling equipment, and also big supermarket runs, both using the Burley Travoy. It's rated for total weight 140kg (leaves me 40-50kg load hauling capability). What's the load hauling rating for that Turbo Tero?

[@MTBs]

Thank you! The pannier rack in the rear can take 20 kg and an optional front rack can take 10 kg, so the cargo limit is 30 Kg. The bike itself has got a system weight of 136 Kg, so if you are a lightweight rider I guess you can fill a backpack with groceries too. 😎

Thanks for the review. Can you tell me what Bikepark this is? The location looks beautiful! Cheers from Switzerland and keep up the god work 🙃

[@MTBs]

It's near Gothenburg, Sweden. Only 60 vertical meters but complete with lift, 10 official trails of which a few are quite demanding. They made the most out of that little hill! kesbergetbikepark.wordpress.com/hem/

[@IIISentorIII]

@@MTBs Absolutely, it looks like a beautiful little gem.

[@mathiasmeissel4665]

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

[@zvezdochetic1427]

I bought Terro x 4.0 We don't have 5.0 and 6.0 for sale with my height. One thing that confuses me is that there may not be enough torque.My weight is 110 kg

[@MTBs]

I could easily climb that slalom hill with the 5.0. Just shift to a lower gear if you struggle. I think you’ll be fine.

[@zvezdochetic1427]

@@MTBs Thank you! The bike should be delivered to me in the next few days. I paid and am waiting for it to be set up and delivered

Between the Vado SL as a city commuter stretching itself to do gravel/routing, and this Tero bike being an MTB stretching to do commuting+touring... which one would you recommend? what range did you get, and is it easy to ready with the battery off given the weight...?

[@MTBs]

I would not ride the Vado SL on gravel at all. Asphalt only imho. The regular Vado would work on gravel though with bigger tyres and a sturdier build. The Tero X is more allround and I think it would work for commuting too, maybe with different tyres. I wouldn't ride it without the motor off. I think there is a HT version of the Tero as well.

[@makki4064]

i would not buy and wait for the same bike but with BELT DRIVE, then its my!

[@RoissyAngel]

Noisy motor.

[@MTBs]

I wouldn't say that. This Brose motor is one of the most quiet motors on the market, but Gopros seem to amplify that specific frequency. I experience the motor quieter in reality.

[@MYnextDIYbikePROJECT]

I’m sorry but this is not a beautiful bike, it’s plain ugly in my opinion. I get it, function over fashion, but it doesn’t make it for me!

[@MTBs]

Come on, mate! Bring out your inner German, bitte!

[@MacGoreth]

I wonder what other eSUV bike you think looks better than the turbo X, hopefully it is not those hideous bike R&M makes lol

[@MTBs]

@MacGoreth My very first bike review was actually a R&M Superdelite! All filmed with a Samsung Galaxy S7. 🤣 Very cringe to watch now... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHu2e5SZipmZZ9E

I agree , I’m no style guru but at £6000 🇬🇧 I’d like it to look nice too
