2020 Specialized Turbo Creo SL Expert Evo Electric Road Bike - Granite

Gravel is so appealing for so many reasons, to break from the hectic city streets and get away from cars, the crunch of rocks beneath your wheels or simply for the feeling of adventure. No matter your drive to gravel, the Turbo Creo SL Evo will assist you further into the forest, down the gravel road or on your next adventure. It features the same motor, battery, and frame as its road-oriented cousin, but takes advantage of tyre clearance and adds in some adventure-ready components to take you wherever your heart desires. It's you, only faster.

The Turbo Creo SL Expert EVO features a Fact 11r carbon chassis (the same as on the S-Works model) and you'll also get the new Future Shock 2.0. The spec includes a 1x Shimano Ultegra Di2 build with an XT rear derailleur and an 11-42T cassette to take on shifting and braking duties, while Roval C 38 Disc carbon wheels get wrapped in 38mm Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready tyres to keep you rolling worry-free and super fast, no matter the terrain. Filling out the build are Adventure Gear bars with 12 degrees of flare, a Future Stem Pro, an X-Fusion 50mm Manic Dropper seatpost, and the fan-favorite Body Geometry Power Expert saddle.

• The Creo SL is the lightest e-bike in its class, literally kgs 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.
• Eliminate battery anxiety with the Creo SL. With up to 80 miles of range from the internal battery, the Creo SL eats up big miles and long days. The optional range extender provides up to 40 additional miles of mountain-flattening power.
• By connecting with the Specialized Mission Control 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 metre that transmits to any ANT+ head unit. If you don’t want to connect, the Turbo Connect Unit (TCU) on the top tube gives you all the control you need to ride.
• 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.
• Specialized have learnt from thousands of Body Geometry/Retul Match fits that there can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide enough data to specialise. It means that separating bikes as male or female is arbitrary and outdated. With this in mind, they've developed a geometry that's best-fit for all riders. One that's comfortable and snappy on the road, yet features all of the attributes you'd want from a proper gravel bike - a long wheelbase, raked-out fork, and low bottom bracket that keeps the Turbo Creo SL EVO stable at high speeds and delivers control in corners.
