The MasterMind seamlessly integrates with the Specialized app, providing range optimization tools, advanced tuning, on-ride diagnostics, and more. This integration offers a high level of customization and control over your riding experience.

Stepless Shifting Enviolo City Internally Geared Hub (IGH): The Enviolo City Internal Gear Hub (IGH) is ebike-rated to match the controller, and offers a smooth "stepless" shifting experience. It allows riders to focus on shifting, braking, and scenery.

Proven Smooth Efficiency: The bike is designed for smooth operation, reducing the impact of bumpy terrain. It comes with a suspended seatpost, higher volume tires, and an 80 mm suspension fork, ensuring a comfortable ride.

Turbo System Lock: The Turbo Como 3.0 IGH features a Turbo System Lock, allowing you to use the Specialized app to disable your bike’s motor and also set a motion-sensitive alarm. Once locked, the bike's motor cannot be enabled again except by the owner with their smartphone, providing additional peace of mind against theft.

Fully Integrated Removable and Lockable Downtube Battery: The bike is equipped with a fully integrated, removable, and lockable downtube battery, making it easy to charge and secure.

Additional Features: The bike comes with DRYTECH fenders that are extra long, flexible, and water-routing, LED front and rear lights, and a 27kg rated rear HD rack (far above average).
