Turbo Tero 3.0

Like most of the mid-drive models CR tested, the Specialized Turbo Tera 3.0 provided good trail performance and handling, smooth power delivery, and big fun. Components like brakes and derailleurs aren’t top-of-the-line gear, but they’re not of poor quality, either. If you expect something good from a Specialized-branded bike, you’re not likely to be disappointed by this model.
