Roval doesn’t give a speed at which that four-watt advantage is applicable , although it does say that the figure was calculated by its Ride Science team “in simulation using real-world power data, course data, and CdA [coefficient of aerodynamic drag] numbers from Win Tunnel testing”. Win Tunnel is the name that Specialized and Roval give to their in-house wind tunnel.

Roval says that the Rapide Cockpit is also 50g lighter than a two-piece Rapide bar and Tarmac SL7 combo, coming in at a claimed 310g. The Roval Rapide Cockpit comes in 15 different stem length and handlebar width combinations. The drop is 125mm and the reach is 75mm, and the stem section is -6° in all cases.

Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0Specialized’s Turbo Vado 4.0 is a workhorse which still manages to be fun to ride, and with such a great battery range those fun rides can last a fair while. With mudguards, wide tyres, lights and a rack, it’s versatile; and with squishy front forks and a suspension seatpost, it’s comfortable too. At the beginning of the year Richard reviewed the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 EQ. That’s a lighter version of this bike with less overall clout from the motor setup, intended for fitness, commuting and leisure. The model we have here can do all of those things, and a lot more.
