Specialized E-Bike Tuning – Brose-Based, Uniquely Tuned

Specialized equips its e-bikes with Brose mid-drive motors, but adds its own proprietary software for seamless integration and a refined ride feel. The result: an exceptionally natural pedaling experience with no resistance above 25 km/h thanks to the decoupled crank design.

Over the years, Specialized has released several drive generations, including:

• Specialized 1.2 E – optimized for efficiency (50 Nm)
• Specialized 1.3 – powerful 90 Nm version
• Specialized 2.1 – lightweight e-MTB motor with 90 Nm and up to 410% support, based on the Brose Drive S Mag

The Specialized 2.1 has powered all Turbo Levo FSR models since 2019.

Currently, only hardware-based tuning modules are available for Specialized Brose systems. Trusted brands include PearTune, Badass Box, SpeedBox, and the Sx2 Dongle. These tools remove the 25 km/h speed limit and are easy to install – but are no longer listed here.

As ebiketuning.com now focuses on software-only tuning solutions, we’re closely following developments in Specialized/Brose integration. If software tuning becomes technically feasible, it will be released here first.

Stay tuned – especially if you ride a Specialized Turbo Levo, Kenevo or Vado with Brose-based motors.
