- Is the Creo SL E5 Comp worth it over the carbon Creo models?
- The E5 gives you the same motor and road-bike feel in an aluminum frame. Choose carbon Creo models if you want lower weight and a more refined ride; choose the E5 for durability and a lower entry point.
- How fast does the motor assist go?
- The SL 1.1 motor assists up to 28 mph, so it works for fast road riding and commuting. Above that speed you ride on your own power.
- Can I add a range extender?
- Yes. The Creo SL accepts Specialized's range extender battery, which adds capacity for long rides. It mounts in a bottle cage and is sold separately.
- What gearing does it have?
- It uses a SRAM Apex 1x11 drivetrain with a single chainring. That keeps shifting simple, but the steps between gears are wider than on a 2x road setup.
- What is in the box?
- You get the complete bike, the internal 320Wh battery and the charger. The range extender and accessories are separate purchases.
- Who is it for?
- Riders who want help on long, hilly or windy road rides and commutes, and who prefer road-bike handling over a heavy commuter e-bike.
- Where is the Specialized Creo SL E5 Comp Bike cheapest?
- At SPECIALIZED, for $5,099.99, as of our latest check.
