Specialized has always been all about performance – be it for its standard or its electric bicycles. The brand has long been associated with the very best of the cycling industry, and it doesn’t look like that’s about to change any time soon. The brand has just pulled the covers off its newest electric gravel bike, the Creo 2. Let’s take a closer look at what this lightweight gravel muncher has to offer.
Specialized strikes a balance between lightness, performance, and natural pedal feel with the new Creo 2. It’s powered by the brand’s proprietary motor, the SL1.2 mid-drive unit, specifically designed to compete with the industry’s greatest when it comes to performance, compactness, and weight. According to Specialized, the SL1.2 is one of the most efficient e-bike systems in the market, delivering an output of 320 watts and 50 Newton-meters of torque. Specialized also emphasizes that the SL1.2 is incredibly quiet, further amplifying its natural pedal feel.
