Specialized Turbo Connect Display (TCD)

Not very good battery dies after every ride. Put bike in garage next ride one week later always needs a new battery in the TCD display.

Salve, prima di acquistare questo Turbo Connect Display (TCD) volevo sapere se è compatibile con la mia LEVO COMPALLOY NB ? Grazie

My display is also acting up.. tried three new batteries and still nothing on the screen! Heavily depended on it for each ride!! Any suggestions out there??? Buying a new one is $90….😳 Vado SL Turbo 4.0

I had the same problem as Steve. After 2 years the Turbo Connect Display starting eating batteries, behaved flaky, and had weak display contrast, even with a new battery. I replaced the unit and the new one has worked fine for several months now. Aside from receiving a unit which experienced premature failure, I like it.

Tutto bene fini a quando arrivi al totale dei KM a 9999 perchè il display non ha la quinta cifra....poi dovete comprare un satellitare. BOCCIATO!!!!!!

If you do not need navigation, this shows all the data made specifically for the Creo!! For $60.

Muy util y funcional

Fantastique vélo de route, bien conçu, confortable, performant. Je redécouvre les joies de la montagne et des longues balades. Seule critique : la selle d'origine n'est pas agréable, le magasin me l'a remplacée, là c'est parfait.

TCD worked fine for two months with and without Mission Control APP. Then the disc battery 2232 went dead after only two rides, less than one week. I went through three batteries thinking my problem was maybe a defective or aged battery. Customer service offered no assistance or possible cause for my problem. He said 2232 should last 1 1/2 years. I’m stuck with and unusable produce after only three months (two months past return date). I also noticed that the Mission Control APP is a substantial drain on my phone power making it of limited value. I have to say I love the Turbo CLeo eBike.

I bought it, just to know how fast I am riding and keep an eye on my cadence… like most of you, I guess? It was easy to setup, I like the information I am getting, it’s easy to read. The user interface is simple and good. It’s just looks a bit outdated for 2023…

Easy to set up, easy to use. Reasonably accurate.

Funktioniert alles so wie es muß, trotzdem wirkt sehr günstig in den Material. So geht alles

Love my new Turbo, especially the updated and improved TCU and the lighter carbon frame.

Simple & no frills, yet data rich & well designed. Paired with Polar heart monitor immediately. Great addition to my Turbo Levo SL Expert.

run away. There has to be a easier model to program with more flexibility

Ho fatto l'acquisto compatibile con la bici , ma non è possibile ritrovarsi con il supporto obliquo perché c'era quello disponibile, alla richiesta di avere il supporto centrale come da foto Vs. sito, sembra sempre non disponibile nel negozio o chiedo perché non è possibile ordinarlo nel sito singolarmente , uno che rompe il supporto deve ricomprare tutto il contachilometri ? Grazie

Buonasera Fabio, in riferimento alla sua richiesta di informazioni sul prodotto Turbo Connect Display (TCD), la informiamo che è possibile acquistare solo il supporto e non è quindi necessario acquistare tutto il contachilometri. In particolare, il codice prodotto 48119-1405 è il supporto più adatto per manubri mtb 31.8 ed è disponibile per l'acquisto direttamente dal nostro sito. Il codice prodotto 48119-1410 è il supporto più adatto per i manubri Road e disponibile per l'acquisto direttamente dal nostro sito. Infine, il codice prodotto 48121-1410 è il supporto più adatto per i manubri mtb con attacchi da 35 ed è disponibile presso i nostri Rivenditori. A disposizione.

The mount included with the unit is virtually unusable. It requires the removal of the bar wrap and brakes/shifter on on side, so the mount can slip over the handle bar. Many after market mounts have a hinged grip that can be mounted without removing anything. The adhesive clear protective screen cover would not fully adhere on one corner, leaving a blurry spot in that corner. Otherwise performed as intended.

Good unit, easy to read while riding. Just wish it included altitude gained and lost. I know Mission Control records that, but it doesn't always work, and when that happens you don't have any data. At least the TCU always works.

Come e’ possibile azzerare i parziali senza dover re-installare tutto ogni volta?grazie

Buongiorno, per resettare i dati parziali è necessario premere contemporaneamente entrambi i tasti per meno di un secondo. Grazie per aver scelto i nostri prodotti. Enjoy your Ride

Buonasera Cortesemente mi spiegate come si azzerano i km parziali timer viaggio calorie, ho provato ma no riesco. grazie

The Turbo Connect worked well up to 10,000 km At this total distance would no longer record distance of a ride. Dealer spent much time with Specialized office and they came to the conclusion that in the design, Specialized did not contemplate a rider on a Turbo Creo SL going over 10,000 km. Having both battery charge and distance traveled visible on one device is a good feature. Having to have another device on the bars to know distance of a ride without stopping to open phone for such data is inconceivable for a company of Specialized design expertise. Is there a fix coming? Will Specialized give a reasonable credit for a upgrade if the designers get around to designing for normal bike usage?

Me funciona de maravilla aunque el soporte no sé ajusta al diámetro del manillar, es más pequeño, para poderlo centrar he sustituido el tornillo por una brida. Unido a la aplicación facilita más datos, como los desniveles. El plano es totalmente exacto y en caso de que te pierdas lo puedes usar para volver. Magnifico

Expensive but worth it - although setting it up/customising it and changing the time is complicated

The instructions are in such a small type that I can't read them even with a magnifier. So, I decided to print it out in larger font -BUT - there's no way to do that with a PDF. I've tried enlarging it online, but then lose most of the page and can't scroll back and forth or up and down. AND - it's not intuitive. Can't figure out how to turn it on, or off, or clear it. Occasionally someone on a group ride has shown me how to turn it on, and then they go to talk to someone else and I'm not sure what they did. Totally frustrating. I can use it as a clock - that's all.

Molto soddisfatto, l'unica pecca è che avendolo avuto insieme ad una Turbo Levo di seconda mano, non riesco a resettare i km totali percorsi dal proprietario precedente... ho anche provato a togliere la batteria e a rimetterla, ma la memoria non si azzera...

Awesome

Will need to see if it works better on the bike than some other reviews indicate, but what a failure on Specialized to deliver a bike computer with a mount that you can't directly install onto your Specialized bike without removing the tape and brake/shifter horns. Seriously, someone should be fired over that decision. At least they use the same mounting mechanism as Garmin computers and I had a spare mount. Feeling like this was a mistake to purchase.

Note, despite Bike Source’s advice, this computer is included with a Vado SL 5.0 bike.

Great product, can monitor battery charge percentage and mph

As a product, it's very good but the only thing that let it down is resetting. It's not very clear from the manual how to do so it's trial and error. You can easily end up by doing a total reset instead of just resetting from the last ride.

The device was easy to set up. The paper manual is a bit overwhelming, but just go to YouTube and find the videos produced by Specialized about the display. That was super easy to follow. I also love that you can customize the display as to what you want displayed where. You have 4 different sets of screen you can configure to your needs. Connecting to the bike is simple. So much simpler than setting up a magnet on the wheel and then a sensor on the fork and trying to get them to line up perfectly. This reads off the bike directly so its simple and accurate. Two mounting options were included. For the money I could not be happier. I don't have a heart rate monitor so I can't comment on how well that integrates, but all the other functions have worked flawlessly.

lack altimetry

Excellent display, but very hard to program

As Jerry mentioned, the user interface is awful. Very difficult just to clear data from previous ride. Every time I've tried to do it, it just moves to the next screen or reset everything...back to metric. The instructions that came in the box are printed so small and at the same time vague, make them completely worthless. I've had the unit on my Creo SL Turbo for 2 years. The only positive I can say is about the mount, it also integrates the forward headlight nicely.

The user interface is complex, and the print is so small that it is virtually illegible, and some of the text is smudged.

Well designed. Clear display. It's good quality but instructions could be better to read. If you have experience in cycle computers then it's not too bad.

The display is good, but the unit keeps falling off the mount.

I just bought a 2021 Turbo SL Vado 5.0 EQ. So far I really like the bike and would highly recommend it. The TCD unit, however, is very fussy/fiddly and not at all intuitive to use. Also the instruction pamphlet isn’t very clear and apparently there’s no way to change the setting for wheel size (at least not that I could find), which is necessary to ensure distance & speed are accurate. For example, if you decide to switch out the OE tires, which many owners will want to do (myself included). For every other cyclometer I’ve owned setting the wheel size was a basic and easily understood function. The TCD seems over-engineered and generally a PITA. I may just mount and conventional cyclometer and pretty much ignore the TCD except for the battery & boost level display items. Too bad since otherwise the bike itself is excellent.

This is a great replacement head unit for my Vado.

the unit has been great untill I replaced the battery and then it won't turn back on seems to be totally dead now had for 2 years before battery died

Nice addition to my bike

Rápido y sin problemas. Garantizado

Specialized makes many fine products. This isn't one. The engineers really dropped the ball. I'm surprised I'd let it come to market in this state. This speed is routinely incorrect, the buttons are difficult to press, the screen is hard to see, etc. This is very fine example of poor engineering.

Specialized makes amazing gear, but not this; many major design flaws. - Speedometer is incorrect; Bike continues to read a speed for at least 45 seconds after you've stopped. I can sit at an entire red light while the bike tells me I'm going 1-2 mph. - Distance units are only down to .1 miles; just annoying, but not a flaw - Odometer and Tripmeter can be off by as much as .2 miles. This is a HUGE error. This is a design flaw, not a calibration error, as the errors are off in both directions (they average out over distance, but still very annoying when trying to measure any short distance - Does not work when bike is off. For a bike that advertises itself as a good bike even when not powered, how did they decide this was a good idea? - Buttons are difficult to press. - Reset is done by holding down two buttons -- very annoying to do while you're riding (very poor design by the engineers here) - Screen is low contrast; as soon as it's dusk, you'l never be able to read the numbers

It’s pretty good. I really didn’t need it though my phone does it all. But I have no complaints.

Great bike computer for the Levo's or Creo's. No sensor on the fork, no dropped signals and super actuate.

It’s great if you don’t have the mastermind. Shows batter level nicely.

The display itself is good. The included instruction sheet has text and illustrations that are so small as to be illegible.

Vivement que specialized sorte un nouveau compteur Turbo

Works good only downfall is they sell it to work with the turbo levo bike but they do not give you the proper handlebar clamp to work with the 35mm bars that my turbo levo came with. Had to buy an additional larger clamp for additional money. Should come with all clamps or at least your pick of clamp.

Good little compact unit that pairs nicely with the bike. Would have liked a larger/colour option.

This is a fantastic bike computer. It accurately tracks my mileage, speed, calories burned, time on bike, and total miles on bike. My only complaint is how difficult it is to set the computer. Wow! I lost a few brain cells trying to set it up. I went to a You Tube video to figure it out as the instructions were worthless. I paused the video whenever a step was discussed and wrote it down. Without that as a guide, I would have not been able to set up the computer.

Works great easy to pair with my turbo Levo and I like being able to see and have the display I did have to go to hardware store and get longer bolt for the mount bracket as the bars are fatter on the turbo Levo.

Really good piece of kit BUT should come as a standard fit on what is a very expensive top of the range top quality bike !

Es perfecto, no llama la atención, fácil de utilizar y fácil de leer.

I have another turbo bike - and just loved the Turbo Connect Display so much, that I had to get one for the second one. It shows everything I need - from cadence, distance, ride-time, heart rate through to detailed battery levels. It’s a tad expensive, so if you can get it during a sale (I did) - it’s definitely worth it.

I thought easy to set up screens to show data you want, mount is secure, great product !

En ebike engagé on a besoin de savoir simplement où en est la batterie et sur quel niveau d’assistance on est toute l’attention étant portée sur le pilotage et le terrain, là on a le juste nécessaire en un simple coup d’œil , c’est parfait. Toutes les autres informations ne sont pas utiles en live, on les retrouve sur l’application Mission Control !

Setup took about 5 minutes once I watched a YouTube video. I wouldn't bother with the printed instructions. Speed and distance are easy to read but the battery level and power levels are very narrow and jammed into the left and right sides. I would recommend using the mission control app before buying this. Easier in my opinion to read and keep my eyes on the road ahead of me. Mission Control also makes it easier to see my previous rides along with a map. Only reason to use this over Mission Control is worrying about your phone battery dying while you ride. Not a minor factor if you ride for several hours.

La tenía en otra bici y compre 2 una para mi señora y una para mi pero no las puedo instalar porque el soporte no es para el diámetro del manubrio

Works great to monitor your Levo and workout stats. It can be better if the backlight can be toggled on & off for night riding and is brighter.

Integrates well with my Levo turbo ebike. Highly recommend it. Note: I bought mount for it separately but two different sizes come in the package! Return was easy.

Buenas el cuentakilometro es compatible con mi specialized turbo levo 2018?

Buenas tarde mi pregunta si el turbo connect display sería compatible con mi turbo levo 2018? Muchas gracias

The lettering on the instruction sheet is so small that I need a magnifier to read it, and much of the lettering is smudged and illegible. It is possible to find some, but not all, of the functions by experimentation, so I am giving it two stars. I can't give the "Would you recommend this product?" question an emphatic "Yes!", and there is no middle ground, so I must give it a "no".

Simple, perfect interface with Turbo Levo and it has HRM function if you have HR device

It integrates nicely with my e-bikes electronics . Display is clear and easy to read. I was concerned it may be too small in size but that is not a concern now. Install is very easy if you follow the instruction that come with it

My bike tipped about a foot and the computer hit the door post in my van when I went around a corner. One of the tabs that fastens the computer to the holder broke. I had to buy another one for $90. The bike did not hit that hard. Expensive lesson. The old computer still works but is loose and falls off when I ride over a bump.

Works flawlessly. Very customizable, and easy to use. I love it.

Works great 👍🏼

Very accurate power level reading, it would have been nice if they could add real-time distance remaining in relation to power level left.

I was told by a Specialized dealer that the TCD wouldn’t work on my Levo SL. It works perfectly!

Lho acquistato assieme alla mia levo 2022, dopo la prima uscita nel tentativo di azzerare parziale, ho combinato un macello, ora non riesco più a sintonizzare il TCD con la mia levo, vorrei inoltre sapere come posso collegarlo con la mia fascia polar

Grazie per il feedback. Per rispristinare il display agli standard di produzione le consigliamo di rimuovere e inserire nuovamente la batteria. Una volta effettuata l'operazione, sarà necessario entrare nell'area setup tenendo premuto per 5 secondi il tasto sinistro; a questo punto dovrà modificare - premendo il tasto destro o il sinistro - oppure confermare - premendo contemporaneamente entrambi i tasti - i vari campi richiesti. Per maggiori dettagli su come configurare e utilizzare la TCD, la invitiamo a consultare questo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meGr8uJHGY4&t=177s Grazie per aver scelto i nostri prodotti. Enjoy Your Ride

I never even looked at the manual. Just go watch the YouTube video from Specialized. It’s super easy to program. The display is easy to read with nice big numbers. And I like the mount. And I really like that it pairs easily with my wife’s bike.

Ich finde auch das der Radcomputer eine schlechte wähl von Specialized ist. Ich musste meine Radelektronik vom Händler umbauen lassen weil ich auch Matura Bremsen Umgestiegen bin nach dem die originalen Schweizer Bremsen der größte misst sind . Jetzt habe ich den Radcomputer und ich komme damit gar nicht zurecht . Tageskilometer finde ich nicht ! irgendwas löschen keine Ahnung. Vorher war einer drauf der war von einer Münchner Firma (weis nicht mehr wie der Heist ) der war Top. Mein Vado ist vier Jahre alt und seid vier Jahren warte ich das die Vado app kommt vergebens . Specialized ihr müsst mehr für das Geld tun meine Meinung. Und nicht nur im Radsport glänzen ;)

After much research on bike commputers I am glad we purchased this one because it communicates very well with my new Vado. Very happy with this purchase.

Well worth having

Algunas salidas con el dispositivo se me dispara al contar los km que puedo hacer para solucionarelo , solo algunas veces no siempre

The Specialized Turbo Connect Display (TCD) is very useful, distance, speed, battery level, total miles rode on the bike.

Works great!

The display works perfectly and 100% as expected however the bracket is a joke. It's as if the engineers that make the bracket never spoke to the ones that designed the bike or they simply never tested it. They clearly show the display positioned at the neck of the handle bars however on the 2022 Turbo Levo Alloy the bars are simply too thick and the bracket will only make it part way down which is no good. If you do slide it all the way down to the neck where it should be the bracket remains open the the screw will not fit. I ended up sliding it to the neck and ran a zip tie through the holes which worked perfect. At some point I will run to the hardware store and get a screw, washers, and nut that fit for a more permanent fit but I have ridden the bike several times with the zip tie fix and had no issues. It just baffles me why they did not include two brackets (S & L) knowing you made the bikes and the various handlebar sizes. You have a $6k bike and a $100 display but have to rig it with a zip tie???? However for me aside from the obvious design flaw the display does exactly what I needed which it really just a better way to see, (speed, distance, and battery level) which are the only things I wanted.

Nauwkeurige en uitgebreide weergave van trip en fysieke prestaties en van de batterijen status. Makkelijk in te stellen met persoonlijke gegevens.

Je possède déjà un Spécialized électrique et je veux acheter un vélo de course électrique XS Spécialized pour ma femme elle mesure1,55 m quand je vais pouvoir le commander celui à 4600 couleur rouge Merci

i have used this unit for over a year with no issues. Bike shop set it up and showed me how to use it when I bought my SL5, and I didn't remember everything they told me when it came time to reset etc. but I eventually figured it out and got used to it. Provides good basic information and is accurate to within a couple of tenths when compared to Garmin on a 40 mile ride. I use this for all basic stuff and on a longer ride I use my Garmin for more detail and it allows me to unclutter my Garmin screen with the basics.

I was hesitant to get the TCD after reading so many negative reviews here. I had the shop install so no hassles there. Yeah, the online instructions are a little odd, but once you get the hang of it, the TCD supplies incredible information. And you can customize the displays so almost everything I want is on the first screen, with some less used stuff (e.g., average speed) on the second screen. Additional screens are available but the top screen (after customizing) give me speed, clock time, distance, cadence, and battery left. Wow. I haven't had it long enough to encounter the durability problems that some complain about so we will see, but so far I love it.

I purchased the SPECIALIZED TURBO CONNECT DISPLAY (TCD) for my Turbo Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO. It gives me some basic trip functions and also exposes some of the functionally of the Creo. some of this stuff you an get from mission control but not always wanting to pull my phone out to set this up. Mounting options are great. Only issue was the screen protector which came with the unit didn't stick but Specialized sent me another one quickly and all good. No issues so far and happy to have a trip function where I don't have to zip tie a senor to the front fork and magnet on the wheel.

I ordered this directly from Specialized and had a few days before it arrived. I went on YouTube and watched a video about its features and how to install. When it arrived it literally took 7 minutes from unboxing to riding. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Press two buttons to start, right or left to go up and down and then two buttons again to accept. The display is big and clear and my home screen tells me all I need while riding. If you want to know more press one of the of the buttons on the bottom of the unit to change screens. No wires, no calibrating, no hassle! I signed up for the Specialized newsletter and saved 15%.

Voor een specialized fiets. Batterij geplaatst op de voorgeschreven wijze maar het display blijft dood

I had no problem connecting to my Lev Turbo and I really like that no spoke or pedal sensors are required for speed and cadence. Customizing the pages was pretty simple. As with any other sensor-free device, the measurements are estimates but speed and distance correlate closely with the guesstimates my Garmin Fenix6 provides for those parameters. So far, my only concern is that the battery that was provided was nearly exhausted after only a few rides. Hopefully, a new Energizer will last longer than the included generic.

satisfait malgré un petit manque de précision sur le kilométrage mais je pense que c'est dû à la mesure exacte de la circonférence de roue par rapport aux différents pneu . je trouve très pratique meme si je n'est pas fait math sup jai pu configurer facilement le compteur je ne comprends pas les commentaires laissés par les autres utilisateurs

It's worth getting. I have a tool pouch over the TCU so having the TCD is nice to see the mode, distance etc. it's not a game changer and I could live without it but I really do like having it. The instructions however are atrocious. Unreadable and unintelligible.
