    Photos from today’s ride on the creo 2. Can you tell from the look on my face how much I’m loving it?? 🥰🥰🥰

    specialized creo 2

    FWIW, my riding is actually 90%+ roads during most of the year (based in Dallas), and then a road/gravel mix in the summers (based in CT.) From what I can tell so far (still very new on the bike), the Creo 2 is absolutely brilliant on the road - even (or especially??) with the Tracer 47 tires...

    That is correct, I do not currently ride in/on those conditions.

    specialized creo 2

    Late last week I took delivery of an S-Works Creo 2 in size 56. I'm still getting it dialed in, with the help of our awesome local Specialized-owned dealer (Biker's Edge here in CT.) I'll do a full/proper review after a few more weeks of riding, but thought I'd drop a few initial impressions...

    Today was supposed to be new Creo announcement day!

    I can't wait to see your new bike after all these mods! Please do share. Are you positive that the GRX Di2 drivetrain (assuming a full swap to shimano?) will fit on the Creo 2?

    Today was supposed to be new Creo announcement day!

    Which is why I keep coming back to my Vado 5 IGH again and again despite attempts to switch to a Vado SL. I just LOVE speed and the full power Vado lets me easily ride in the 20-28mph range as often as I feel like it, modulating how much of a workout I get based on assistance level choice. The...

    New CREOs just Dropped!

    @Stefan Mikes speaking of flat bar, would love to hear what you think of the Santa Cruz Skitch if you get a chance to try one at some point!

    New Vado SL 4.0 - harsh ride!

    I was originally very interested in the Skitch, but as discussed the geo seems a lot more aggressive/road-bike-like than the Vado SL... Also, for what it's worth, recent comparisons between eMTBs, Santa Cruz Heckler (using same Fazua motor as the Skitch) and the Specialized Turbo Levo (using new...

    Should I buy a Vado SL, or Wait for the Release of the Version with the 1.2 Motor?

    I'm ready to buy a new Vado SL 1.2 at whatever premium it has for a brand new bike... I just wish I knew WHEN it will be here!

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    Totally agree with you guys! There are several of these massive “how the heck did that get there??” boulders in this area, and glaciers definitely makes the most sense. They’re also great for climbing, as my littlest is demonstrating in this photo 😅

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    We had to stop and take a photo of this enormous cracked rock by the side of the road in Connecticut. I like to imagine how the heck this rock originally got here (rolled down a hill? Carried underwater by giant waves millions of years ago?)

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Western Connecticut (right near upstate NY.) (Also - apologies for all the selfies! 😅 Browsing other photos on the thread, it seems like the more common thing is to just take a photo of the bike by itself in the scenery… but I originally took these photos to send to my family so… 😅)

    First Impressions Vado 5 IGH Automatiq

    Oh my! I have not tried that yet, and it looks like EXACTLY the setting I’m looking for! I’ll give it a try and report back. And thank you! I love this forum 🥰

    First Impressions Vado 5 IGH Automatiq

    I thought about getting the Cliq Pro manual controller, but I have yet to encounter a situation (biking hills in Connecticut and also flats in Texas) where I ever feel the need to manually control shifting anymore, especially now that I’m used to riding the automatiq. When I first got the bike I...

    First Impressions Vado 5 IGH Automatiq

    I concur. The enviolo automatiq feels like it’s basically reading my mind and magically in the right gear like 95% of the time. I would say that the only time it feels like it’s not quite right is starting from a standstill, where it feels like it stays in a lower gear a bit too long (making it...

    Turbo Vado SL with Rohloff mod? New 1.2 motor?

    Ahhhhh good point… I guess an electrical/remote SRAM transmission is another option, but I’m just hooked on the carbon belt now and never want to go back to chain 😅
