INTRODUCTION
THIS BRIEF ASSEMBLY GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
This Assembly Guide shows you how to build your bicycle from out of the box. The directions covered in this guide are general guidelines and apply to all Specialized Turbo
Active SL bicycles. If you’re unsure of the correct setup of your bicycle, contact Specialized Rider Care or visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
This document is not intended as a use, service, repair, or maintenance guide. Please visit an Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs, or maintenance.
This assembly guide is not a replacement for your bicycle’s User Manual. The User Manual contains important safety, performance, and technical information specific to
your bicycle, which you should read and keep for reference.
You should also read the entire Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual (“Owner’s Manual”) as it has additional important, general information and instructions you should
follow. If you don’t have a copy of the Owner’s Manual, you can download it at www.specialized.com or obtain it from Specialized Rider Care or your nearest Authorized
Specialized Retailer.
Additional safety, performance, and service information for specific components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle or accessories such as helmets or lights,
may also be available. In case of a conflict between the information in this assembly guide and information provided by a component manufacturer’s manuals, please
contact Specialized Rider Care or an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Please note all instructions and notices are subject to changes and updates without notice. Please visit www.specialized.com for periodic tech updates.
SYMBOLS
When reading this assembly guide, you will note various important symbols and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death. Many of the Warnings say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat
the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, that, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the
voiding of your warranty.
This symbol alerts the reader to information that is particularly important.
This symbol means that high-quality grease should be applied as illustrated.
This symbol means that carbon assembly paste should be applied as illustrated to increase friction.
Tech tips are helpful tips and tricks regarding installation and use.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied with your bicycle for more specific information.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Proper assembly requires basic mechanical skills and a set of high-quality tools such as a torque wrench. If you are unsure about the
proper setup of your bicycle, it should be assembled by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
BIKE INSPECTION
When removing all the parts from the packaging, ensure nothing was damaged during shipping. Call Specialized Rider Care if you notice any damage.
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Torque specifications can be found in the user manual supplied with the bicycle or printed on the part near the bolt you are torquing.
General torque specifications may also be found in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener
may not hold securely. If too much force is applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. An incorrect tightening force can result in
component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall. Where indicated, ensure each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the components.
WIRELESS COMPONENTS
Bicycles equipped with wireless components must be charged before use. Please see the component manufacturer’s user manual for more information.
PACKAGING
Please keep all your packaging as you can reuse it to transport your bicycle.
RECYCLE: Please follow your local recycling guidelines to dispose of the packaging responsibly.
