Very interesting observation about battery capacity and colder temps. I am coming from a Specialized Creo and never tracked battery range as vigilantly as I had with the Domane +, partly because the battery consumption with the Domane is closer to the range where I need to be concerned about...

Interestingly, Specialized rarely lists the weight of their bikes but they did so with Creo 2. The S-Works 2 is listed at 28lb 9 oz on Specialized web site. The Pro's Closet has a S-Works Creo EVO on their site which they weighed at 28lb 1oz, so no weight savings. Yes, there is nothing to stop...

Meh! I also do not need a more powerful motor. Only advantage from my perspective seems to be the conventional hub spacing and claimed quieter motor. Still with 1X drivetrain, similar weight and I suspect the Q factor is similar. It's not clear to me why they chose to eliminate the road...

Assuming you have the bike or bike "power meter" paired with your bike computer, Strava averages the actual broadcast wattage from the bike. You can easily see it if you examine the analysis graph. With an actual power meter, there are thousands of data points and high variability. So the...

Getting older and I like having bonk insurance. My motor usage isn't linear but that seemed to be the easiest metric to compare. I ride in groups and if age appropriate I usually ride in the flats with no assist and use ECO on gentle climbs to neutralize the weight. When in faster groups, I'll...

I took the Domane out for another spin today to get a better feel for assist and battery consumption. I started out by setting it at 25% assist with max set at 72W which is close to Creo 15/30. What I realized is that the Trek software already factors in the 2X ( 2 times you) calculation and...

It would be reassuring to know they've acknowledged it and are working on a fix. A $500 - $1K addon is something I'd like to avoid at an $8500 purchase point.

See my comments above re:power. Way off. I have been riding with power meters for the past 10 years and this one is not even close. I rely extensively on the Creo power readings to track my effort….the numbers feel a little inflated but at least they’re consistent. Perhaps there was something...

Thanks….this was the first Domane + received at the Trek store and they were not familiar with the operation, motor tuning, etc.

Creo owner who finally got to ride a Trek Domane +. My take: It felt like a road bike!. The bike itself felt much more balanced, not as bottom heavy and more nimble. The lack of motor noise also helped. The only time I really heard it was on quiet climbing and it was barely perceptible. I’m not...

I updated my firmware, however sensing tension between my LBS and Specialized, perhaps reflected in the fact that the dealer had more Giant models in the showroom. The dealer from which I purchased the bike had little knowledge of the update and seemed annoyed that Specialized sent an email to...

I was able to secure a discount on a Creo last year from a shop that experienced flooding and needed to thin inventory (bike was undamaged). A friend also purchased a Creo during a Specialized 20% off Black Friday event last fall. Inventory on Specialized site appeared more robust then. Supply...

Certainly agree. I upgraded the wheels via a Chinese builder. Pleased with the results but the wheels are useless on a non-Creo.

Yes, also trying to find a test ride, but I can't locate a Domane locally or within 100 miles here in PA US. Not likely to make a swap for the Creo without a good bit of existing user feedback however.

The bike is very enticing and offers several advantages over my Creo (which by the way I am very pleased with). I am a low assist rider, so lower torque is not an issue 1. 2X drive train. I often find myself toggling back and forth between 2 adjacent gears due to large jumps in cog size. 2...

I use a top tube bag with a Garmin 1030 and remote buttons. I need to loosen the strap to turn on the bike, but beyond that I don’t look at or touch the TCU. All of the info I need (assist level, remaining battery) is displayed on the Garmin. I have the front on the bag loose so as to avoid...

I should add that I have found brief bursts of Turbo to be a massive safety benefit in dense traffic situations, ie, accelerating to make a left hand turn, pulling out from a dead stop on a incline and reducing the amount of time I need to spend on a high trafficked climb. Added up however, no...

Not sure you will use a range extender Dave. I tend to use assist in a similar manner. My bonk or steep climb setting is Sport 30/60 which probably involves less than 10% of the ride. At this level of usage I can probably get >100 miles. I haven't done any rides >65 miles yet with the Creo, but...

I needed 1:1 gearing as I like to ride with minimal assist and found the added weight of the Creo and OEM gearing to be too stressful for my knees. I switched to a Garbaruk 11-46 cassette which required only minimal adjustment on the Deore derailleur. So far, seems to work well.

I am pleased to report that I received a Garbaruk 11-46 cassette for my Creo last week, swapped out a Sunrace 11-42. Delivered to PA-US in 5 days after the order was received via DSL! It shifts remarkably well on a Deore derailleur with a little adjustment of the B screw. Unusually quiet...
