How to Install the Turbo Road Remote on Your Bike

Quick answer

Install the Turbo Road Remote by choosing a comfortable handlebar position, attaching the buttons securely, and pairing them with your Specialized SL 1.1 System. Test the placement before your first ride to ensure you can adjust modes without taking your hands off the bars.

Installation steps

1. Choose the button position: Sit on the bike in your normal riding posture and mark where your thumbs naturally rest on the handlebar. Common spots include near the hoods or on the flat top section. Avoid placing the buttons where they could get in the way of braking or shifting. Check that you can reach both buttons without stretching or changing your grip.
2. Attach the remote buttons: Secure the buttons to the handlebar using the included mounting hardware. Ensure the buttons are snug but not over-tightened, as excessive force can damage the bar or the remote. Give the buttons a gentle tug to confirm they are firmly attached.
3. Connect the remote to the SL 1.1 System: Follow the system's pairing instructions to connect the remote to your Specialized SL 1.1 System. This may involve turning on the bike and pressing a pairing button on the remote. Refer to your bike's manual for the exact pairing sequence. If the remote doesn't pair, check the battery and try again.
4. Test the mode changes: Before riding, press each button to confirm it changes the Turbo mode as expected. Ride slowly in a safe area and test the buttons while keeping your hands on the bars. If the buttons are hard to reach or feel awkward, reposition them and repeat the test.
