![]() Depending on your circumstances and the people you ride with the Specialized Turbo Creo SL can really open up your riding experiences and encourage you to ride further, for longer. ![]() Regardless of the reasons behind your mix-match of fitness levels the Turbo Creo SL will allow you to keep pace with faster groups and help you to take on longer social rides without the fear of running out of energy or constantly having to catch up with faster-paced individuals or groups. Road riding can be a very social affair and this is where the Turbo Creo SL really comes into its own the bike is a real leveller, allowing riders of mixed abilities and fitness levels to ride more comfortably together. ![]() So if you’re the type of rider who wants to feel like you’ve still had a proper workout only with a faster average speed, perhaps riding a little further than you would have on your conventional road bike, then this system will give you the confidence to push your riding and actually increase your fitness over time. The motor’s responsive torque curve delivers power perfectly in-tune with your normal riding cadence and leaves no resistance when you’re riding without power assistance. The riding feel of the Specialized Turbo Creo SL is quick and lively with Specialized’s SL 1.1 motor adding just enough power to give a more subtle ‘enhanced you’ feel than some of the other e-road bikes available. With a 240 Watt motor giving out 35Nm of pedal assist Specialized describe this riding solution as 2x You’… To hit that sweet spot between having ride-enhancing pedal-assist power and the feel of a conventional ‘manual road bike’ Specialized have spec’d their very own 240 Watt Specialized SL 1.1 motor (the same motor found on the their popular Turbo Levo SL E-MTB) to give the rider just enough assistance to really excel on the tougher climbs and encourage them to ride further and longer than they would have previously. So what was the design brief for the Turbo Creo SL? Well, Specialized set out to create a superlight E-Road Bike that would give you the pedal assistance required to go further and faster than you would have on an ‘acoustic’ road bike but without some of the extra bulk and subsequent effect on bike handling associated with a conventional E-Bike. We’ve been lucky enough to test ride some of the Turbo Creo SL models and were really impressed with how they rode there’s no bigger test than putting a pure roadie on a bike like this and when the feedback is really positive you know that Specialized have hit on something new and exciting… ![]() These bikes can significantly amplify your power input without some of the usual compromises commonly associated with e-bikes, namely some considerable weight gain and nervous handling. It’s a bold claim but it’s one that they can back up with some pretty impressive stats – a unique motor and battery system developed and owned by Specialized which is super-light and compact, a lightweight FACT 11r carbon chassis across the range except for one E5 alloy model and a Future Shock with a hydraulic damper on all models means that the Turbo Creo SL is a really high-performance road bike that just happens to have a motor. The Specialized Turbo Creo SL range of e-road bikes are almost unique in the world of e-bikes with Specialized themselves describing them in their marketing spiel as ‘A Whole New Sport’. ![]()
