This alone for a cyclist that rides with power a lot really hits home with how useful an e-bike can be for training and even recovery ride days. While it isn’t as responsive as most of the power meters we normally use it was accurate enough to give us an idea of the efforts we were putting in. The motor is able to read the rider’s input power and it can be sent to your computer and produce a power metric. Both S-Works models will come with the bottle cage battery as well as the internal battery while the rest are only available with the internal battery. When I say that I’m not exaggerating, and on day one we rode so hard on the climbs and even the flats that day two started mellow since everyone’s legs were still tired. Both rides would be challenging on any bike and the one thing that stood out most to us on the rides was that we didn’t go any easier, we just went faster. We had two day of rides planned in Santa Cruz, the first was a 50-mile road loop that had 6000 ft of climbing while the second was a 45-mile mixed surface and gravel ride with about 6000 ft of climbing also. While we have a lot of e-bikes come through the well-lit penthouse offices of Hi-Torque thanks to Electric Bike Action, few are up to the task of matching real-world ride expectations and at a weight that is not excessive like the Creo. Overall the system is a balance between power, efficiency, and weight. The new SL1.1 motor weighs in at 4.3 pounds thanks to its magnesium casing and refined design. The optimal and most efficient power range is between 80-90 rpm at 84% efficiency and the most total power output is at 100 rpm. The motor has been tuned for riding cadences between 60 and 110 rpm and maintaining over 80% power efficiency throughout the whole range. The big news and the reason the Creo is able to get so much range out of such a small package is its unparalleled efficiency. The frame is constructed of the same FACT 11r carbon that you will find on the rest of their top tier bikes.
The overall geometry is very similar to the Diverge with a low bottom bracket and room to fit up to a 42mm tire.
The new Creo SL combines much of the knowledge that Specialized acquired from their road and gravel frames when it comes to construction and geometry. So, we headed out to the beautiful city of Santa Cruz, California, for a preview of the road and gravel-ready Turbo Creo SL.

Who doesn’t want to know what it’s like to climb a hill at your absolute max but be able to compare your times to the pro peloton’s top climbers? Specialized promises their new offering is all the joys of riding with the added benefits of a little extra power. While we have Electric Bike Action Magazine to do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to motor-assisted bikes, the chance to try the newest Specialized e-bike was too enticing to pass up. Whether you like it, hate it or maybe you don’t care, road e-bikes are one of the fastest evolving segment in the sport.
