Specialized Turbo Creo SL Expert Carbon Disc E-Road Bike 2020

Specialized Turbo Creo SL Expert Carbon Disc E-Road Bike 2020

Part of a new motor-enhanced range from Specialized, the Turbo Creo SL Expert Carbon Disc E-Road Bike has helped to raise the bar in e-bike technology. With a lightweight carbon frame and proprietary lightweight drive system this is a bike that smoothly and silently delivers up to 240w of additional power without losing the nimble ride characteristics of a standard road bike. When the assistance stops there's no lag or drag and the cadence is optimised up to 110rpm. The aesthetics are not compromised either, with the sleek frame not giving away the integration of an advanced battery and motor inside.

Clearance for a wider tyre (up to 700C X 42mm or 650B X 48mm) enhances comfort over rougher surfaces, but it's the Future Shock 2.0 suspension with hydraulic damper, adopted directly from the monument-winning Specialized Roubaix road bike, that really helps to smooth out the road. Fittingly finished with Shimano's Ultegra Di2 electronic gears, an XT rear derailleur and 11-42t cassette ensures that your shifting is not only reliable and sharp but also durable should you find yourself out in adverse weather or tackling loose terrain.

A Mission Control App lets you easily manage the battery and motor so that you always have enough power to make it back home on long days, but with a quoted range of up to 80 miles (with a possible range extension available that nudges this up by a further 40 miles), you can confidently head out to explore new roads in comfort.
