The first thing to note about the Creo is that it's so low in weight for an electric bike that it's lighter than many non-electric bikes. Creo is literally lighter than most of the competition. But how? Specialized has managed this by utilizing their top-grade FACT 11r carbon to make the frame. Super lightweight without sacrificing rigidity. But, more importantly, Creo has Turbo SL (super light). Weighing in at just 3.7kg for motor and battery with complete integration, the Turbo SL certainly deserves its moniker.
The range extender is a stroke of genius from Specialized, and is available as an aftermarket upgrade. With a capacity that is 50% of the integrated battery, you can go further than ever before. The best bit? The additional battery weighs in at just 1kg and will fit into most standard bottle cages-though the kit is supplied with a Specialized Zee cage. Go further without the hassle.
The Creo features the Turbo Connect Unit (TCU) that many Turbo riders already know and love. The TCU is essentially the brains of the bike, providing system communication, error messages and connectivity. It also displays battery level for both the internal battery and range extender. The TCU is fully compatible with Specialized’s Mission control app which allows you to fine tune your support modes, plan and record your rides as well as diagnose problems with your bike. The TCU is also fully ANT+ capable; the Turbo motor features Speed, Rider Power and Cadence sensors that will send information straight to your device, or just have it up on the Turbo Connect Display. Easy as that.
Another feature that sets the Creo apart from other electric road bikes is the natural ride feel and superior handling it provides. Since the Turbo SL has been so seamlessly integrated, it has a low centre of gravity for stability and neutral handling. The open road geometry also means for playful handling and confident steering. But what Creo boasts that other electric road bikes don't have is the Future Shock technology that can be found on the Roubaix Specialized bike. Delivering 20mm of travel at the stem, the Future Shock will ensure a smooth ride without sacrificing on speed, handling or comfort.
The Comp model boasts the new Shimano GRX 1x11 groupset. Offering the simplistic, reliable performance of a 1x system with Shimano's buttery smooth shifting, the Comp SL is a dream to ride. Hydraulic discs take on braking duty, offering powerful stopping power and modulation in all weather conditions so you can ride with confidence. DT R470 wheels are smooth and fast rolling, wrapped in 28mm Turbo Pro tyres. Rounding off the spec is the Body Geometry Power saddle, a fan favourite.
