We have a long history of developing the world's highest performing road bikes. Tarmac, Venge, Roubaix, Allez, Diverge—each one dominates their respective category, featuring the best technologies in the industry. And while that's a tough palmarès to follow, the Turbo Creo SL redefines e-road bike performance. It's lightweight, smooth, capable, and lively—all with the power to flatten mountains, laugh at headwinds, and go farther than you ever thought possible. It's you, only faster.

Like all of our S-Works bikes, the S-Works Turbo Creo SL is our pinnacle build. The FACT 11r chassis and Future Shock 2.0 with a hydraulic damper is dressed with a 1x build that includes SRAM Red AXS eTap and a 10-44t cassette for an incredible gear range. It rolls on Roval Terra CLX Disc carbon wheels and 30mm S-Works Turbo tires. And to finish off the build, we've included our S-Works Carbon Hover bars, an S-Works Future Stem, and a Body Geometry S-Works Power saddle. We're throwing in a range extender too, because you're never going to want to stop riding this bike.

  • The Creo SL is the lightest e-bike in its class—literally kilograms lighter than the competition. Not only does the lightweight and stiff FACT 11r carbon frame inspire dancing on the pedals and diving into corners, but it also reduces overall system weight and increases the range.

  • The lightweight SL 1.1 motor doubles your effort with as much as 240 watts of silent and powerful assistance to amplify your ride. The motor’s responsive torque curve delivers power perfectly in-tune with your normal riding cadence and leaves no resistance when riding unassisted.

  • Battery anxiety? Not on the Creo SL. With up to 80 miles of range from the internal battery, the Creo SL eats up big miles and long days. Our optional range extender provides up to 40 additional miles of mountain-flattening power.

  • By connecting with our Specialized app, you're able to tune the SL 1.1 motor to your riding style, record rides, and monitor the battery. The app can handle battery management automatically too, ensuring the battery will last as long as you need it to. The motor even has a built-in power meter that transmits to any ANT+ head unit.

  • With the Future Shock 2.0, you'll feel a reduction in fatigue and an increase in speed, no matter the terrain. The 2.0 iteration gives you more control via a knob atop the stem. This knob adjusts compression from fully-open to stiff, while hydraulically-damped internals control rebound. The new Smooth Boot, top cap, and Future Stem also enhance the aesthetic, so you get a clean transition from head tube to stem.

  • We’ve learned there can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide enough data to specialize. It means that separating bikes as male or female is arbitrary and outdated. With this in mind, we've developed a geometry that's best-fit for all riders—one that's comfortable, snappy, and handles like a dream.

King of the commuter bikes

After a couple of years commuting 48 miles round trip on an “acoustic” bike, took the liberty of test riding a Creo E5 at the local Specialized IBD. Conditions on the test ride were perfect with a 20+mph north wind. Didn’t really touch the power with the tail wind, but was able to maintain 18-20 in to the headwind. I was sold right there. Bought a Carbon Comp on Black Friday sale November 2021 and began the ‘22 commuter season on the Creo. Netted 37 commutes last year. Living in Iowa, wind can certainly be a factor on rides. After a day at work, nice to have the assistance of the motor in to a headwind to get home. The Creo is saving me 40-45 minutes ride time (round trip) so it’s nice having a little more sleep in the morning and a little more family time in the afternoon. Average commuting speed went from 17 mph (over 2 years and 50’ish commutes) to averaging 22 mph for the 37 commutes in 2022. Same level of work out, saving lots of time.

Simply the best available today!

Simply the best available today! I'm a 60 year old who can keep up with the Peloton on Day 1 (Saturday), but my increased recovery times mean I always find myself in a slug fest on Day 2 (Sunday). This bike takes that factor away - even if you don't use the assist, the peace of mind it gives you gets you out there on Day 2 even if the course is hillier than usual or it is windy. I've owned other high-end e-bikes - no other propulsion system comes close to this - it's smooth, silent, responds to your torque input, and goes forever. The cons - the price, of course. Disappointing to not have a fully integrated cockpit at this price point, no bottle cage although shipped otherwise extremely complete, and why is it geared as a gravel bike? I will be swapping out my 10-30 SRAM Red cassette. Putting that in context - when you look at, ride or own something else like the Mahle, Bosch, or Fazua systems, this drive system more than compensates for the few adjustments you might make. Do you need the S-Works version of this bike? Probably not. The Expert is nearly the same, heavier groupset and other components, which won't matter much if you tweak in the assist level with Specialized's truly ground-breaking "Mission Control" app - again, something you don't get with some of the competitors. For me, having the S-Works version was my entering argument - not based on logic. Hopefully other readers will find this helpful.
