Expensive and heavy, yet the Specialized still impresses in practice. The Vado 3X rides superbly and sets new standards in terms of comfort and touring capabilities. With its comprehensive electronics package and full suspension, it’s a very well-rounded bike with a premium finish. If you’re willing to pay for it, that is.
