3. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMO SL
3.1. INTENDED USE
The COMO SL is intended, tested and designed for riding on a paved surfaces, smooth gravel roads, and improved
trails with moderate grades where the tires do not lose ground contact. (Condition 2).
For more information on intended use and structural weight limits, please refer to the Specialized Owner’s Manual.
Before using your COMO SL bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable legal requirements
and regulations in your country or state. There may be restrictions on riding your COMO SL
bicycles on public roads, cycling paths, and/or trails. There may also be applicable helmet
requirements, age restrictions or license or insurance requirements. Specialized does not, and will
not, make any promise, representation, or warranty regarding the use of your COMO SL bicycle.
As laws and regulations regarding electric bicycles vary by country and/or state and are constantly
changing, please make sure to obtain the latest information. You should also regularly see your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for updated information.
CAUTION: All COMO SL bicycles have a fixed pre-set speed limit at which the motor support
will automatically shut off. Any (attempted) tampering with the power output and/or system is
prohibited and will void the warranty.
3.2. PEDELEC / EPAC
The COMO SL is classified as an EPAC. (Electrically Power Assisted Cycle)
Your motor support will automatically switch off when you reach a maximum speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) or 28
mph in the US and 20 mph in Canada. A driver’s license or insurance is typically not required.
Per EN 15194: The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver ears is less than 70 dB(A).

4. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The COMO SL motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in motion. The
amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of force applied to the pedals. If you
stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The COMO SL bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching the display to
the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 5% - 3%.
4.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the COMO SL offers a unique riding experience compared to a bicycle without
motor assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before entering the corner.
Otherwise you may carry too much speed when entering a corner.
Ride efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back
up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Braking while steering may reduce the ability to control your bicycle.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler temperatures (0 degrees), keep the bicycle stored indoors until just before
riding.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals and the bicycle
is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage at least one brake before starting
to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate
unexpectedly. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than anticipated and may feel
unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use the lowest power ECO mode and become
familiar with the operation of the electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering
and navigating obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also pay particular
attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles faster than expected. Please note
the default motor support mode upon startup is always SPORT mode.
CAUTION: The weight of your COMO SL is significantly higher than a bicycle without motor
support. Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but not limited to parking, lifting,
pushing, loading it into a car or onto a bicycle carrier and unloading it).
4.2. BEFORE RIDING
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s Manual (Bike Fit, Safety
First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all important safety checks. In addition, make sure you
are familiar with the following areas of the bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE:
BATTERY: Is the battery fully charged?
TCU DISPLAY: Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
BATTERY: Do you have sufficient battery charge?
TCU DISPLAY: Is the display functioning correctly?
WARNING! If your battery, charger or other component exhibits any signs of damage, do not use
the bicycle and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.

4.3. KNOW YOUR RANGE
Know the range of your electric bicycle before you start your ride. You can calculate your range by visiting www.
specialized.com, selecting your Turbo Bicycle model, then clicking on the range calculator. In addition to the range
calculator, we recommend using the Smart Control feature in the Mission Control App to control your range.
4.4. REMOVABLE YELLOW STICKER
Your COMO SL bicycle has a removable yellow
sticker adhered to the frame, stating the
bicycle serial number and your personal BLE
(BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY) pairing code.
Remove this sticker from the bicycle and place it on
the last page of this manual for future reference.
4.5. RIDING WITH KIDS
There are many different setups that allow you to ride with kids. Please look at the Riding Safely section in the
Owner’s Manual regarding general information and instructions on child carriers or trailers.
If you regularly ride with kids on your bicycle, your Authorized Specialized Retailer should conduct a periodic safety
inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one person at a time.
Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own risk. If you choose to install an
accessory on your Specialized bicycle such as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is
compatible and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory installed. Be sure to not
exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle when using a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier.
Also make sure not to exceed the maximum cargo weight when using a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering the center of gravity,
weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your cornering ability, increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down
a steep grade. All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/or
death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the accessory in a controlled
environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a composite or carbon fiber
part or component, either directly or indirectly. For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear axle
when the rear triangle is made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer cycle
to a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon fork. Either may
potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or component which could result in damage
and cause a complete failure, with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have previously
attached an accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride until you
have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable legal requirements
and regulations in your country and state. There may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with
certain or any accessory(ies). This is especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
This user manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, service, repair or maintenance guide. Please see your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer may
also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Due to the complexity of the COMO SL bicycle, proper assembly requires a high degree
of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential for your safety
that the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized
Retailer. Before your first ride, make sure your components, such as brakes and drivetrain, are
assembled and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and are functioning
properly.
WARNING! Many components on the COMO SL, including, but not limited to the motor, battery
and cable guides, are proprietary to the COMO SL. Only use originally supplied components and
hardware at all times. Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and
strength of the assembly. COMO SL specific components should only be used on the COMO SL
and not on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, file or remove parts
from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components or hardware. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING! Electrical components can be exposed when working on your bicycle. Do not touch
any part of the electrical system while under electric charge. Do not expose the connections of
the battery and frame to water. If any live components or the battery are damaged, stop riding
immediately and bring your bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
5.1. SEATPOST
SEATPOST INSTALLATION - SEAT COLLAR
Ensure the seat collar is positioned so the slot
faces backwards (Fig. 5.1).
Verify the saddle height and position, adjust if
necessary.
Torque the seat collar to 55 in-lbf / 6.2 Nm.
The fit between the seatpost and the seat tube must allow the seatpost to slide into the seat tube
smoothly and without twisting, but not so loosely that there’s excessive side-to-side play/wiggle.
Any fit and/or torque issues should be inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer. If the
seatpost does not fit properly or moves in the frame even though it is torqued to spec, you should
have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
5.1

ENGLISHFRANÇAISDEUTSCHČESKYHRVATSKIFREE SLOT SLOVENŠČINA
8
SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION:
To prevent damage to the frame and/or seatpost, it
is important to have a minimum amount of seatpost
insertion in the seat tube. This minimum insertion
must meet the following requirements:
The seatpost must be inserted into the frame
deep enough so the minimum insertion/maximum
extension (min/max) mark on the seatpost is not
visible (Fig. 5.2 A).
The seatpost must also be inserted into the seat
tube deep enough to meet or exceed the 115 mm
minimum measured insertion depth (Fig. 5.2 B)
required by the frame.
If the seatpost and frame minimum insertion
requirements differ from each other, always use the
longer minimum insertion. For example, if the frame
requires 115 mm, but the seatpost requires 90 mm,
then 115 mm is the minimum insertion required.
If the seatpost is at the min/max mark and the seatpost does not meet or exceed the minimum measured insertion
depth of the frame, the seatpost is not inserted deeply enough into the seat tube and should be lowered until it
meets or exceeds the frame insertion requirement. This may result in the saddle being too low. If so, the seatpost
must be replaced with a longer seatpost.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame minimum insertion requirements may result in
damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
If the seatpost is cut short, the min/max mark on the seatpost may no longer be accurate. Before
cutting the seatpost, note the min/max depth required by the seatpost manufacturer.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost, refer to the
appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an improperly tightened seatpost can
allow the saddle to turn or move and cause you to lose control and fall.
CAUTION: Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that there are no burrs or sharp edges.
Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine grit sandpaper.
5.2. SPEED SENSOR
The COMO SL is equipped with a Speed Sensor magnet, located on the rear hub/disc rotor interface. Dirt and/or
metal debris may accumulate on the Speed Sensor magnet. Too much accumulation may result in interruptions in
motor support and/or inaccurate speed readings.
Regularly check your Speed Sensor magnet for accumulation of dirt and/or metal debris, and clean accordingly. The
frequency of the cleaning depends on your riding conditions, ride frequency and/or brake pad material. Removing
metal debris may require the use of a magnet stronger than the Speed Sensor magnet.
5.3. COCKPIT
The COMO SL has a fully internally routed cockpit. The brake, shifter, and lighting cables are routed inside the head
tube, steerer tube, and handlebar system.
WARNING! Due to the high degree of complexity of the COMO SL, proper assembly of the cockpit
requires a high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is
essential that the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized
Specialized Retailer.

5.3
The steerer tube has a built-in steering limiter to prevent any damage to the internally routed cables (Fig. 5.3).
This steering limiter will affect your ability to turn sharply. Familiarize yourself with the handling of the bicycle by
practicing in an open area without any obstructions.
