My Turbo Creo SL Expert has changed my life. I can ride with anyone, anywhere. My strength and stamina have grown tremendously because I can train with the highest levels of rider power and still know that I can make it home when I'm completely spent. My husband is a Master Elite racer. I can now ride with him for enjoyment in any terrain and he doesn't have to wait on me. My friends hesitated to purchase a pedal-assist bike until they saw my Specialized Creo. Several have now bought them. Thank you Specialized!!!!

56 yr old male who love cycling. Now I can keep up in the ""A"" group, heck maybe lead them. #specializedcreoSL

I'm a 62 yo female cyclist (ex-bike racer), who had stopped riding for a while. I had been riding a Vado 6.0 for over a year now, mostly for commuting. Recently, I started riding longer rides on the Vado with my faster cycling friends. The Vado, while a great commute bike, just isn't well suited to really long road rides (battery life barely allows rides of 60 miles, and the bike is not easy to ride without power), the motor is too powerful, even on Eco mode, and the flat bars don't allow shifting hand positions leading to discomfort. I bought the Specialized Creo SL Expert a little over a week ago, and I've gone on several long rides since (73 mile ride today, >200 miles total in the past week). In Eco or Sport mode, the bike handles and feels like a road bike. I don't notice the power assist, even though I know it's there. The bike is smooth, responsive, comfortable, and is great for climbing, descending and riding on the flats. It's not as powerful as the Vado, but who cares? With the extender battery, I never worry about conserving battery or running out of juice before the end of the ride, so I can ride with the level of assist I want at the moment. The power in each mode is adjustable, so you can tune it to your riding style (and to the power assist needed to ride with your faster friends). (In general, I only ride in Eco or Sport mode, saving Turbo mode for climbing the very steep hill I live on.) At < 27 lbs, the bike is very light, and easy to ride without any assist. Specialized's slogan ""It's you, only faster"" is spot on. Overall, I love it, and would definitely recommend it.

I have been an active road cyclist for over 30 years, wanted to be a pro when I was young😜. I still ride 5-6 days per week and lets just say the body is starting to show signs of wear n tear... The guys and gals @ my LBS, Cycle Loft in Lexington MA set me up for a test ride and all I can say it GAME CHANGER! The Creo is to traditional road bikes as Wahoo is to indoor training!! I can now do a recovery ride or endurance ride in the HR zone I choose. Thank you Specialized for working so tirelessly on perfecting this machine, and thank you CYCLE LOFT of Lexington MA for helping me all these years.

This bike is a gift to my wife for Christmas. But is also a surreptitious gift to myself as we can now truly ride together. We are very far apart in our cycling abilities but with this machine the playing field has been leveled. My fitness level is sure to increase what with me trying to stay with her. Our ride demo proved all of the above. Now to get on the road and just have as much fun as we can TOGETHER. BTW, I did ride the bike. Holy smokes! Incredible!
