Specialized Turbo Creo SL Expert Carbon 2026

Road or gravel? Five kilometres or five hours? Uphill or downhill? More powerful or lighter? With the Creo, there's no need to choose. You can have it all. With more power, great range, lightness and ample tyre clearance, plus Future Shock 3.0. The new standard in its class, making the previously unthinkable possible.

Alloy frame, ready for anything
The Turbo Creo 2 is an uncompromising road and gravel e-bike in E5 Premium alloy, for all roads, all conditions, capable of withstanding anything you might encounter on your route.

Natural amplification
The new Turbo SL 1.2 motor system has unrivalled efficiency and a range of up to 5 hours. Power is increased by 33% compared to the previous version (320 Watt). The motor's power delivery curve provides power perfectly in line with your normal cadence and does not resist when you pedal without assistance. The torque of 50Nm (43% more) makes this power instantly accessible, useful when attacking that steep climb. Finally, it is extremely quiet.

Tyres
It comes with 700x40 tyres, but has space to use tyres up to 700x47c. High-volume tyres provide a smooth and controlled ride on rough terrain.

Future shock 3.0
With 20mm of handlebar travel, impacts are reduced by 53%. With Future Shock, your hands stay steady on the handlebars, giving you a more controlled and smooth ride, with greater comfort for long days in the saddle.

Geometry
The progressive geometry of the Creo 2 Alloy provides an ergonomic endurance position so you can tackle any route with confidence.

Loads
You can choose to carry a little or a lot. The Creo 2 is designed for mounting various types of racks - front, rear, low-rider.

Control
The advanced and intuitive control unit connects the bike, the Turbo Operating System, the Specialised app and the rider. Everything can be viewed on the easy-to-read display. With MicroTune, you have fine adjustment of power output in real time to manage your performance and range.

Mastermind TCU
The brain of your bike, displaying all your ride data, allowing you to adjust the assistance level and receiving over-the-air updates.

Specialised app
With our app, you can customise the motor and display, record your rides, view statistics and activate the Turbo System Lock to protect yourself from thieves.
