When you say level 2 do you mean Eco with level 1 being motor off? I will experiment but I thought my bike usually starts up in the mode it was last in when I turned it off.

My Vado always boots up with assist level 2. To be precise, I label the levels as 0 = no assist and assist levels as 1,2 and 3.

As I can see it, there is no way to change the boot assist mode in Turbo e-bikes. What one can do is to swap the settings. Put the Level 1 setting in Level 2 and Level 2 settings in Level 1

Captain Slow, does the aluminum model have attachement points for fenders?
I just received a phone call from my Specialized dealer. They couldn't figure out how to change the setting so they contacted Specialized support. Their answer was that it can not be changed to a different setting on initialization.
Using Mission Control I have set up a custom boost profile. If I'm in that profile when I shut down the TCU, it will still be in that profile the next time I turn the bike on, but it will be in the middle boost level (2 bars).

Well my bike is like everyone else's and yes it starts up on level 2. I hadn't really noticed.
Yes there are fender and rack mounts on the aluminium model.

I thought it might have fender mounts (my 2016 Diverge carbon has fender mounts), but I'm surprised it has mounts for a rack. I wonder what sort of rack would fit this bike.

Rather than going through all 15 pages on this thread, does anyone know, or can link me to, the weights of the various Creo models. I'm curious as to the difference in weight between the aluminum model and the lowest priced carbon model.
It is the Comp Evo, you are correct. The custom wheelset is 2.285 kg and the Pathfinder tires 480 g each. In contrast my Niner RLT wheelset is 1.65 kg (Gipiemme Techno Ultra 1.55) and the Clement LAS 700x33 is obviously lighter at 290 g each.
The X-Fusion Manic Gravel dropper seatpost is 410 g.

Aarnoldc, does that weight include pedals? I can't tell from the photo.
Yes, it does. And here in Southeast Asia, we do not get the Specialized Dirt, instead a generic pedal with reflector

You cannot buy a Turbo Vado in Phillipines?!
I'm shocked.
I'm shocked.
Yes, as the regional distributor (Specialized Singapore) do not see them as a priority (their exact words when I asked).
ps. Specialized Dirt is the designation of the pedal that's supposed to come with the Turbo Creo SL Comp Evo.

Specialized decidedly cut too many corners... It is true every road cyclist uses their own pedals, it is a personal item like the cycling shoes. Were I riding the Creo, I would use my own SPD pedals with it. That's shame, however, that SBC do not deliver top components with their extremely expensive e-bikes.
I could live with the pedal, but not the Sunrace cassette

That's an extra cost but you would probably replace the cassette with Deore XT?
I have one on standby, the 11-42 M8000.
My Creo actually came with PLASTIC pedals, on a $6,500 bike!
