Voted Best Brand 5 Years in a Row

#1 Again: 2023 Gran Fondo Awards

The riders have spoken! For the fifth year in a row, Specialized has been crowned the #1 “Drop Bar Bike Brand” in the prestigious Gran Fondo Best Brand Awards for 2023. We innovate for riders, and year after year, our bikes are loved by the most discerning riders. Thank you!

Product Details

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.

The Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon features out Fact 11r carbon chassis. Yes, that's the same one on the S-Works model, and you'll also get a Future Shock 2.0. For the spec, we included a 1x Shimano GRX group to take on shifting and braking duties, while DT R470 Boost™ wheels get wrapped in 28mm Turbo Pro tires to keep you rolling worry-free. And for the saddle, you'll find that our fan-favorite Body Geometry Power Sport provides plenty of comfort.

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.

Nice styling and performance but the motor is the issue

I get a lot of complements on the styling and color. The performance is good. When it was new (less than 450 miles) the motor was quiet and my group riders never knew it was an E-bike. Since then the motor has become annoyingly louder and noiser. Even my fellow riders have noticed the noise when previously it was almost "silent" (as stated in their advertising). This motor is also using more battery power and is not lasting as long as the battery on my 2020 Creo SL E-5 , 2.2 motor aluminum frame bike. Unfortunately my Specialized dealer, who has duplicated the noise, but they are stating that Specialized says the noise is at "acceptable levels" and will not do anything to resolve the issues. This is my third Specialized Bike and I am disappointed. This 1.1 motor should not continue to be used on their bikes and online consumer forums have also agreed with this assessment.

Catena che scende dalla monocorna con il rapporto di discesa in presenza di sobbalzi con modello turbo creo sl 5 2022

La catena del modello turbo creo sl 5 del 2022 in discesa quando è sui rapporti posteriori piccoli in presenza di sobbalzi scende spesso dal monocorna ! Nonostante la lunghezza della catena sia corretta . Ho notato che il modello 2024 ha un cavallotto che ne impedisce il salto della catena in caso di sobbalzi . Si può montare sul mio modello per ovviare ad una svista così marchiana ? Grazie franco canclini

Great bike

I bought this bike this spring and love it. I have growing hip issues which regular road riding irritates, so this bike is a great compromise to still allow me to ride in a road style without straining my hips (especially on climbs). Very lightweight for an e-Bike and fun to ride. I put 42mm tires on it now and am now using it on gravel/dirt trails. The range extender is worth the extra to give you more peace of mind of longer rides about losing charge. Mission Control app is also useful; there are a lot more features that can be leveraged with it (like with a heart rate monitor) that I have yet to use. My only issue has been frequent chain deraillments esp. when shifting to the low gear. My dealer put on a nicer chain and that seems to have solved the problem. This will be my go-to bike going forward; riding a regular road bike just isn't the same for me!

Super VAE que le CREO SL

Acquis depuis Août, ce Gravel Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon est effectivement une véritable merveille de technologie et de design. Son cadre en carbone FACT 11r léger et robuste, associé à l'assistance électrique innovante de Specialized, permet une conduite à la fois puissante et fluide. Ces seuls défauts sont pour moi le bruit du moteur et l'utilisation de l'application Mission Control notamment la perte des points d'acquisitions. A voir la nouvelle version Spécialized app. Mimilecyclo 69

So fun!

I love my old road bike, but this one is pure comfort and power. My Creo makes it possible to keep up with a faster rider so we can have fun together. Love the Mission Control app function that controls the power output based on my heart rate. I still get a workout but can keep up easily. I have a huge smile plastered on my face every time I ride it!

Excellent bike!

This bike is even better than expected. The battery life is excellent. I have ridden 50 miles and still have nearly 50% battery life left when using the lowest assist level. Shifting is smooth, even the seat is comfortable. I highly recommend this bike to anyone considering an e-bike.

Super vélo mais problème claquement Future Shock

Le cadre et le moteur de ce vélo sont exceptionnels, et sur ce point je suis pleinement satisfait de mon achat. Malheureusement, bien que le système Future Shock ait déjà été remplacé deux fois, le problème de claquement n'est pas résolu.

"Turbo Creo : Excellence Gravel". J'adore

Le Gravel Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon est une véritable merveille de technologie et de design. Son cadre en carbone FACT 11r léger et robuste, associé à l'assistance électrique innovante de Specialized, permet une conduite à la fois puissante et fluide, transformant les sorties les plus exigeantes en aventures énergiques. La technologie Future Shock 2.0 absorbe efficacement les chocs, offrant ainsi un confort remarquable même sur les terrains les plus accidentés. Sa polyvalence est sans égal, se jouant des transitions entre routes goudronnées et chemins de gravier avec une aisance déconcertante. Le conseil d'acquisition de ce vélo par Cycles Pilorget d'Orléans a été un véritable coup de maître. Ce vélo est un investissement qui élève l'expérience du gravel à un niveau supérieur, combinant performance, confort et style. En somme, le Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon incarne l'avenir du gravel, aujourd'hui.

J'ai parcouru 500 kms. Un excellant produit Vélo léger oubliant le poids de la batterie. Je peux faire 150 kms en sport. Aussi maniable que mon ancien vélo TARMAC 20 SPECIALIZED. Une très bonne assistance lorsque le temps des âges à fait son oeuvre ;

Everything I hoped by for.

I bought my Turbo Creo SL Comp about six months ago and have around 2000 miles on it, mix of road and gravel including some very rough dirt and gravel. Very nice and smooth. I use it with only 25% assist most of the but it allows me to kick it up when I am having trouble staying with a group that averages 15 years younger. I can confidently go on rides where I either would have been dropped or held up the group.

I have been riding my Specialized Expert Era for years and love how well it handles. I just purchased a Turbo Creo Comp to expand the riding possibilities. I absolutely love the Creo, fast, lean, light weight, stealth, and how well it handles the off road also. The best thing is it’s me but two times me. The assist levels are programmable so you can make it your own. So fun to ride!

Plus de huit kilomètres de parcourues et qu’elles sensations. Puissance à turbo et facilité de rouler sans assistance. Avec trente cinq pour-cent seulement sur maximum cent pour-cent d’assistances, rouler à 32-35 kilomètres c’est agréable et facile. Quel vélo.
