    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Thanks for the tips regarding rider power on a Garmin. I disabled the Fake Channel and power did indeed show up on my Garmin. I think it's accurate ... but I only rode back and forth in front of my house, so I'll have to do a longer ride to confirm. On a previous ride, I disabled the fake...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I can't speak to other models but I have the Creo Carbon Comp EVO, not the superlight S-Works. My most recent ride I was running Conti 4000's 28mm at about 80psi, rather than the gravel Pathfinder tires spec'd on the bike. I haven't weighed the bike in that setup but I'd guess it weighs about...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Interesting. Were you riding alone? Since your bike has flat bars, you are likely sitting more upright than you might on a curly bar bike. Coming from a road racing background, I may ride in a more aero position. Aero is everything at speed. I suppose I should be giving more credit to the...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Question: Is anyone else having trouble getting the Creo to show actual 'rider power' on their Garmin? (I'm using the Garmin 830) I've tried using the Fake Channel on the app, set to Rider Power. I either get one of two readings: a static power that doesn't change, like 100w --- or I get the...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    It was with the range extender (sorry, I should have noted that). However, I used 343w/hrs, meaning I just barely dipped into the range extender battery. At a slightly slower speed, I could have finished the ride with just the main battery. As easily as this bike pedals with the motor off, it...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I had another great ride on my Creo this past weekend. The ride was 97 miles (156km) and 4200ft vert (1280m) with an average speed of 21.4mph (34.5km/h). Many times on flat ground we were above the 28mph cutoff for the Creole which was challenging. I was riding with a small group of fast...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I am in the US, so the cutoff is 28mph/45kmhr. To be honest, I'm not sure I would have bought the bike if I was limited to the lower EU cutoff speed. Although, I'd still find it useful on gravel rides where the speeds are generally lower. I use the bike for all sorts of activities, some of which...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Fair point. My estimates are based on me having the legs/energy/interest in doing more laps — which isn’t usually the case. :)

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I have the Creo Carbon Comp EVO model and I’ve been really impressed by the range. I’ve been road racing (amateur) for 15+ years and decided to give this bike a try just to mix it up a bit… and I LOVE it! It’s opened up a ton of new territory for me. I can go hard or easy and still go far. When...
