Product Details

What is it about gravel that's so appealing? Is it the break from hectic city streets and cars? Is it the audible crunch of rocks beneath your tires? Or maybe it's just the feeling of adventure? Whatever it is, the Turbo Creo SL EVO is here to 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 tire clearance and adds in some adventure-ready components to take you wherever your heart desires. It's you, only faster.

Like all of our S-Works bikes, the S-Works Turbo Creo SL EVO is our pinnacle build. The FACT 11r chassis and Future Shock 2.0 with a hydraulic damper is dressed with a 1x build that includes SRAM Red AXS eTap, a SRAM XX1 Eagle rear derailleur, and a 10-50t cassette for an incredible gear range. It rolls on Roval Terra CLX Disc carbon wheels with 38mm Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready tires to keep you rolling worry-free and super fast, no matter the terrain. And filling out the build are Roval Terra carbon bars with 12 degrees of flare, a S-Works Future Stem, a SRAM Reverb AXS dropper seatpost, and a Body Geometry S-Works Power saddle.

The Creo SL is the lightest e-bike in its class—literally kilograms 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.
Battery anxiety? Not on the Creo SL. With up to 80 miles of range from the internal battery, the Creo SL eats up big miles and long days. Our optional range extender provides up to 40 additional miles of mountain-flattening power.
By connecting with our Specialized 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 meter that transmits to any ANT+ head unit.
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.
We’ve learned there can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide enough data to specialize. It means that separating bikes as male or female is arbitrary and outdated. With this in mind, we'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.

S-Works Creo makes you feel like a PRO!

If you want the short version, the bike is fantastic. The extended version is that I completed my first ride (50km) on a typical British day (windy, rainy and cold) and felt like a PRO with this bike. A 7% incline is like a flat road, and a 10% incline is like a 3%. The breeze (17.5 km/h) that used to slow me down, this time, I didn't even notice. From now on, the weather on long rides with huge ascending will not stop me anymore. This first ride was fun, and in the end, I felt I should have done a longer ride as I still had 58% on the main battery. And by the way, the bike has excellent aerodynamics, and the motor is so well built that I kept thinking that the assistant was working even above the speed limit. So if you want to increase your riding distance or ride faster and still have a beautiful bike that will make you proud of having it, then the S-wors Creo SL Evo is for you!

Creo S- Works SL Test Ride

I’ve been looking for a real nice high-end gravel e-bike and came across this Creo. This is the kind of high-end bike I’m looking for. It has great range, assists to 28 mph, has SRAM Eagle AXS, it’s light (the medium I tested weighed 29 lbs and change! It has great power and I like how the battery assist buttons are laid out. But, I tried to put on a 27.5” wheelset with 2.1” (53.3mm) knobby tires and they didn’t quite fit. Even with boost clearance front and rear. It looked like 47mm tires would work just fine. I have to say, if the 2.1” tires would have fit I would have purchased it right then!! I have an Ibis Hakka and when I put that wheelset on with the 2.1” Rocket Rons, it completely changes the personality of the bike and gives it serious off road grip and I simply can’t compromise with 47mm tires. Never the less, what an awesome machine that Creo is!!

Would Recommend?: Yes!

Creo Sworks SL - 28

Creo Sworks SL - 28 mph (a must, not 20mph e-bikes, if you want to enjoy ride w a road bike group) - blips on hoods (so your hands stay in place changing power modes. I shut off power when flat or decend, can get 120 miles+ from just main battery, additional 60 from aux battery. - lower mid engine location let’s bike hug road for great handling. - changed out front 1Xchainring to 48t w 10-50 cassette so no spin out on faster group rides. - etap for ultra fast & smooth gear changing on large 10--50 cassette - makes me overall faster & stronger when switching to my venge & tarmac.
