After nearly a decade since Specialized first introduced e-bikes to their range, the American brand has finally launched a road e-bike – the Specialized Creo Turbo. Like Specialized’s other road bikes, the Creo is designed to be ridden faster and for longer and, ultimately, to have more fun.
Specialized’s road range includes the Tarmac and Venge – which have each already won at this year’s Tour de France – and the Roubaix, which accounted for five out of the top 10 at Paris-Roubaix in April. The Specialized Creo follows the same breed of riding hard, allowing you to take on climbs faster, embrace headwinds, get your average speed up and ride further.
The fully integrated, proprietary motor and battery from Specialized is based around a carbon frame with disc brakes and similar geometry to the Specialized Diverge. While the bike weighs around 12kg, it comes with an extra 240 watts of power and rides like a normal road bike.

Power and levels of assist
Specialized say the responsive torque curve delivers power perfectly in tune with your normal riding cadence and when power assist is switched off, the motor gives no resistance.
Three power options – Eco, Sport and Turbo – are available and can be controlled from the integrated head unit or via Specialized’s Mission Control app. Eco mode offers around 70 watts of additional power, Sport offers around 140 watts and turbo offers up to 240 watts of additional power – all matched to your own effort.
