Similar to another reviewer, I'm 72 and have health issues, specifically a knee that's been replaced twice and can no longer handle the steeper hills in Vermont where I live. I was riding my previous bike, a Diverge, less often and limiting myself to flatter courses. The Turbo Creo 2 Expert has given me the freedom to ride anywhere again. I've put about 800 miles on the bike in the last eight weeks and loved every minute. It's fast, even without the assist. Of course the range depends on how often you use the assist. For perspective, today I rode a little over 20 miles with an elevation gain of 1,279 feet and used about 35% of the battery. The only negative I can list has nothing to do with the bike but rather with the manual and app. The display is incredibly versatile, but the manual/app do not make it easy to understand how to access all of its capabilities. A call to Specialized customer service gave me the information I needed.

At 72, after decades of road cycling, but in declining health, I was riding less as I was faltering on tougher climbs and frankly fearful of not finishing a ride if my symptoms began to flair up. The Turbo Creo 2 is the perfect fit for my needs. Even without battery assist, it's a very smooth ride and doesn't feel like 31 pounds. A few tweaks and 38c tires give it more of a road vs. gravel bike feel. Shifting, braking, cornering and overall handling are huge improvments over my old Roubaix and Diverge. Plus, the clean silhouette and battery hidden in a relatively thin downtube make this a great looking road machine, not a bulky, wonky "E-bike." I'm back to riding daily, enjoying the thrill, and with a new measurement of performance: using less and less battery power from ride to ride. It's great to be improving, and comforting to know help is there if I need it. I feel like a cyclist again, not just a man on a bike.

Just perfect; a versatile and relatively light bike where everything works as expected. Great on the road with the tubeless 38s. Solid & steady on light gravel. Seamless operation with a very quiet and powerful motor. Looking for years of enjoyment from this addition to our collection of bikes. Plus, it looks fantastic in white. Added a Tubus rack to expand on the utility of this fine machine. So far, after about 200 miles the range is in line with what was advertised.

Great bike. Now give us an eroadbike. Plenty of egravelbikes out there. I don’t need clearance for mountain bike tires, or need a shock in my steering tube on my road bike. See Pinarello Nytro E7. Hint hint. I know Specialized can do it

I’ve been enjoying my Creo Turbo for the past 3 seasons. It looks like some of the new features have improved the bike, which was already awesome. As the riding season in New England wanes, my cycling mates still tease me about the pedal-assist. Yeah, 3 years later and they still comment on it. Maybe it will stop when they finally upgrade.
