FACT 11r carbon fiber frame - stiff laterally to maximize acceleration, compliant vertically for comfort. The Creo Expert brings in many innovations from their premium road lineup, and what you would come to expect in a high end road bike. With the slim motor cowling, it is pretty easy to miss that the bike is electric at all. The minimalist top tube display is also very stealthy, while at the same time showing all the essential info via LEDs - it can even be put in stealth mode where the lights only show when making mode changes. Although the main battery is not easily removable, the extender batteries have a stealthy water bottle form factor, so you can load up with them if you need more range. They kept the development secret while doing extensive testing to ensure reliability, and engineering all the support structure to make sure there were no hiccups.Īnother breakout feature is the extendable battery system.
Specialized creo crack#
Other attempts to crack the roadie performance barrier have been pretty lame compared to this breakthrough from Specialized.
This mid-drive motor system is an exclusive to Specialized, produced in Germany. SL stands for “Super Light” - light in mass, but no lightweight in performance. The challenge has been to develop an ebike that is both light but also has 50+ mlle range enthusiasts need, and with enough grunt to get up the steepest climbs. Fizzy fun levels are immediately dispensed as you push off down the road.With most eBikes weighing in at 50 or more pounds, and less efficient drivetrains, the return on investment from your pedal power is relatively low. Press the button, wait for the purple power bars to illuminate and you’re in business. In fact, the battery and motor arrangement delivers an assisted experience that’s just as impressive, but in the case of the Turbo Creo SL you’ve got a road bike that really lets you tap into the benefits of having electric power.Ĭontrolling the three core power functions is done via the same module on the top of the frame as found on the Turbo Vado SL. That’s a different kind of bike to the Turbo Creo SL but there are similarities, especially when it comes to the powertrain. We were big fans of the Specialized Turbo Vado SL when we tested it a while back.
There’s a supplied charging kit and cables inside the box too, which connects to the bike via a port, hidden by a flip-up plastic cover that sits above the motor. It’s similar to that used on another Specialized model we’ve looked at, the Specialized Turbo Vado SL though the newer edition feature a knob on the top of the stem that provides precision tweaking should you need it. Special mention should also be made of the forks, which come with the added bonus of the Future Shock 2.0 damper system. The bike arrives minus pedals out of the box, allowing riders to make their own choices on that front. It’ll probably be the first thing that gives the game away when cycling purist’s spot you overtaking them with ease. Rounding it all out is Specialized’s own SL 1.1 motor that dominates the bottom of the frame.
