Product Details
Specialized Creo SL Expert Carbon Electric Bike 2026
The Specialized Creo 2 is built to remove limits. Designed with Shimano’s new GRX Di2 1x12 800 Series electronic shifting system, it delivers precision and smooth performance across mixed terrain. At its core is the all new Turbo SL 1.2 motor system, producing 33 percent more power at 320 watts and 43 percent more torque at 50Nm than its predecessor. The result is instant acceleration, five hours of range, and a ride that is whisper quiet thanks to a 40 percent reduction in noise. Steep climbs and long days in the saddle become effortless.
Specialized Confidence
With 700 x 50c tyres as standard and clearance for up to 29 x 2.2 inches, the Creo 2 handles everything from smooth roads to rough gravel with confidence. The larger tyre volume provides comfort, traction and stability, and the motor ensures there is no penalty for choosing more rubber. Whether carving through tarmac or tackling rugged trails, the bike’s ability to smooth terrain makes it a versatile partner for any ride.
Specialized Future Shock Comfort
Future Shock 3.0 suspension at the handlebars delivers 20mm of travel, reducing impacts by 53 percent. This keeps hands steady and improves control, while reducing fatigue over long distances. Combined with a progressive endurance geometry, the Creo 2 positions riders for all day comfort and precision handling. A dropper post further enhances confidence and control on descents and technical sections.
Specialized Creo Capability and Integration
Designed for adventure, the Creo 2 accepts a variety of front, rear and low rider racks, making it as practical for touring as it is for fast road rides. At its heart is the MasterMind TCU, the control hub that provides live tuning, over the air updates, and seamless connection to the Specialized App. With MicroTune power adjustment, riders can optimise performance and manage range in real time.
Specialized Smart Technology
The Specialized App integration allows complete customisation of motor characteristics, ride recording, data tracking, and syncing with third party platforms. Turbo System Auto Lock adds an extra layer of security. Blending power, intelligence and versatility, the Specialized Creo 2 GRX Di2 redefines what an e road and gravel bike can achieve.

About Specialized
Innovate or die.
Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.
The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
