Road or Gravel? 5 miles or 5 hours? Climb or Descend? Suffer or Smile? More power or less weight? Creo 2 isn’t about having to choose. It’s about having it all. With more power, big range, lightweight, huge tire clearance, and Future Shock 3.0, it’s category defying, making previously impossible rides possible.

  • SUPERNATURAL AMPLIFICATION: The all-new TURBO SL 1.2 system delivers industry-leading efficiency for a range of up to 5 hours. It creates 33% more power (320 Watts) than its predecessor and delivers that power across an ideal pedaling cadence for a supernatural feel. With 43% more torque (50Nm), the power comes on instantly—making quick work of the steepest hills. But less is more when it comes to noise, so we reduced dBs by 40%. It’s literally whisper quiet.

  • RE-TIRED FOR CONFIDENCE: 700 x 47c Tires Spec’d but up to 29" x 2.2 Tire Clearance. The big tire volume delivers a smooth and confident ride on the roughest of terrain. And with the Creo 2’s power, you can take all that tire volume to the road with no penalty for a next level silky ride. 

  • FUTURE SHOCK 3.0: The Creo 2 features Future Shock 3.0 with 20mm of smooth travel at the handlebars that reduces impacts by 53%. Future Shock helps keep your hands and bars steady for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident—all while helping reduce fatigue over long days in the saddle.

  • THE GEOMETRY OF CAPABILITY:  The Creo 2 boasts our most progressive geometry yet that will have you ripping everything from wide open roads to dicey gravel tracks with ultimate confidence. A more ergonomic endurance position feels great, with the power to ride all day.

  • TUNE IN, TURN ON, DROP ‘ER DOWN: Lower your center of gravity with the dropper post for enhanced cornering and control in any terrain.

  • LOAD UP, HEAD OUT: Take a little or a lot on any ride. Creo 2 accepts a variety of front, rear, and low-rider racks. Who says you can’t take it all?

  • YOU’RE IN CONTROL: Our most advanced and intuitive e-bike control unit. Connecting the bike, the Turbo OS, the Specialized App, and the rider, all in a protected and easily visible display. With MicroTune, fine-tuning power output levels in real-time is at your fingertips, optimizing your range management and performance.

  • MASTERMIND TCU:  The MasterMind TCU is the brain of the bike. Displaying all relevant info about your ride, it allows real-time tuning of support levels, enables over-the-air updates so that your bike gets better over time, and seamlessly integrates with the Specialized app for advanced tuning, on-trail diagnostics, customizable display, and more.

  • ALL-NEW SPECIALIZED APP: The Creo 2 integrates fully with our Specialized App and lets you personalize your motor characteristics. You can record your rides, personalize your screens, track your data, sync with other apps, and even thwart would-be thieves with Turbo System Auto-Lock.

Almost perfect!

I was lucky to get my Creo 2 Comp in November 2023 and have ridden up to 110km or so with it. The bike is exceptional off-road and the dropper is great, but should really be 75-100mm. 50mm just isn't enough. This is an extremely stiff frame, and so the Future Shock is very welcome and works well with the 47mm rubber set up tubeless. The riding experience with the motor off is almost exactly like a non-electric bike. In Eco with standard settings, I think it'll satisfy most single-day ride needs and if you add the range extender it almost certainly will. Other modes will change that quickly. My only real complaint is that the cable management at the front of the bike is an eyesore. I'd have liked neater routing here to allow a bar bag to be mounted easily. If you are considering one of these, you will not regret it.

Great bike, but prone to breaking and customer support is embarrasingly poor

Love the bike. The ride is great and the battery is a little small but beyond that all good. But in 4 months ownership I've had a broken seat clamp (known error apparently they replaced it with one from a Diverge), and a faulty crank. It took 3 weeks to post me a new seat clamp. And another 2 weeks (so far still not resolved) to get me a new broken crank. Worried about the quality of manufacturing a bit and the customer service is awful. Someone saying "sorry- thats not great is it" might help. I'd not buy another one.

You really need the Specialized App

Bike control has built in speedo/odo/power meter, accessed from the app and probably from a Garmin/Wahoo as well as your phone. SRAM RD battery good for ~400mi between charges. Bike battery IME uses 20-25% of charge on a 50mile ride with assist on hills and in the last 5-10 miles in a group riding at 15-16 mph average. I find ECO level enough assist 95%+ of the time and rarely need even SPORT level. TURBO is a huge boost and battery drain.

Holy Guacamole!

Alright, buckle up for this ride! So, I dusted off my biking skills and joined the e-bike gang with my buddies. I mean, who needs a gym when you have wheels, right? Tested out the S-Works Turbo Creo 2, and boy, was it smoother than a baby's bottom! Ended up splurging on the Creo 2 Comp, and let me tell you, it's worth every coin, every kidney you can sell. So, if you're ready to pedal your way to luxury, join the Creo crew – it's a journey you won't regret!

Miles of Smiles

Incredibly fast. I can rip through hills and the speed makes me want to pedal faster. It shifts and brakes well. Gives a nice ride. I had never considered an Ebike before but being almost 65 and about to retire having something that makes me feel like I have 20 year old legs again is no small thing. The flat Harvest Gold color is cool and it has grown on me. At $6500 it is not cheap and I even added it to my homeowners policy. If you can afford it I would recommended it to anyone. Not easy to find. My local bike shop had just gotten one in and was my size so I grabbed it. They said they did not know when the would get another. Buy one if you can hunt one down. Its worth it.

Would Recommend?
Yes!
