S-Works Turbo Creo SL

If you're looking for a road bike that can do a bit of everything, and take you further, the S-Works Turbo Creo SL is a prime candidate. Specialized have gone all-out to create a fast performance road machine, with a lightweight frameset made using their highest grade of carbon fibre, that just happens to have a motor to help extend your range.

There are up to 240 Watts of extra power available from the Specialized motor, seamlessly delivered how and when you want it. The internal battery is neatly hidden away within the frame, giving around 80 miles of range on a charge, and the removable extender pack mounted on the down tube provides up to 40 miles of additional range.

Built with Shimano's always-reliable Dura-Ace Di2 electronic groupset and a full complement of S-Works components, this is a well considered package that cuts no corners. This bike is fully equipped with a Garmin GPS unit (which pairs perfectly with the Creo's built-in power meter) and a set of LED lights. There's even a chunky ABUS Bordo GRANIT XPlus folding lock for added security around town.
