The aluminum Turbo Creo 2 is a bike that defies categories. Now, all the features that make the Turbo Creo 2 an uncompromising road and gravel e-bike are available with the American brand’s premium E5 aluminum. For all kinds of roads, all conditions, and of course, with electric assistance.

The all-new TURBO SL 1.2 system offers cutting-edge efficiency with a range of up to 190 kilometers (with the Range Extender – additional battery – sold separately). It offers 33% more power (320 watts) than its predecessor and delivers this power at an ideal pedaling cadence for a supernatural feel. With 43% more torque (50 Nm), power kicks in instantly, resulting in rapid efficiency on the steepest climbs. But when it comes to noise, Specialized has reduced the decibels by 40%. It’s almost completely silent.

Equipped with 700 x 38c tires but compatible up to 29″ x 2.2, it offers a smoother and more confident ride on the roughest terrain. And with the power of the Creo 2, you can venture onto the road without compromising performance for a superior, smooth ride.

The Creo 2 is equipped with Future Shock 3.0, offering 20 mm of smooth travel at the handlebars, which reduces impacts by 53%. Future Shock helps keep your hands and arms stable for a smoother ride with more control to stay fast, safe, and confident, while helping to reduce fatigue during long days in the saddle.

The Creo 2 features a progressive geometry that will allow you to shred everything from wide-open roads to risky gravel tracks with confidence. A more ergonomic Endurance position is comfortable, with the power needed to ride all day. The Creo 2 Alloy also accepts a variety of front and rear racks.

The brand’s most advanced and intuitive e-bike control unit connects the bike, Turbo OS, the Specialized app, and the rider, all in a protected and easily visible display. With MicroTune, fine-tuning power levels in real-time is at your fingertips, optimizing range management and performance. The MasterMind TCU is the brain of the bike. Displaying all relevant ride information, it allows real-time adjustment of assistance levels, over-the-air updates so your bike improves over time, and seamless integration with the Specialized app for advanced tuning, diagnostics, customizable display, and more.
