A lighter battery and motor allowed Specialized to build a yet lighter frame, one that was forgiving on the pummeled two-track where I tested the bike not far from Specialized’s HQ in Morgan Hill, California.

Every other e-bike on the planet is far heavier, and in turn, the ride feel stinks because those bikes have to be overly stiff to manage the weight. Specialized developed its own battery and motor to pare away as much weight as possible. Both of those facets are important to understand. But at 27 pounds it’s exceptionally lightweight, with the 240-watt motor and battery mounted ultra-low and in the center of the frame. The S-Works machine comes with lighter carbon wheels and cockpit components, but otherwise, both it and the Expert are roadie oriented, with slick tires rather than the knobbies of the Evo. The $13,500 top dog is the S-Works Turbo Creo SL, and below that, the “peer” to the Evo is the Turbo Creo SL Expert, also $9,000. And just so we’re clear here, the Evo is part of a three-bike Creo lineup. So the $9,000 carbon-fiber framed Turbo Creo SL Expert Evo isn’t just the first electric-assisted gravel bike to ride like an actual bicycle, and it’s not some meh mashup between bicycle and e-moto - it’s the first to ride exactly like the gravel bike of your dreams. Instead, it has always taken those extant parts, gutted them to find out what makes them tick, and then started from scratch to improve them. It won’t just take off-the-shelf widgets and build another middling mountain, road, gravel (fill in the blank) bike. Throughout its four-decade-plus history, the company has tinkered.

The new smooth boot, top cap and future stem provide a cleaner transition and underscore the bike's aesthetics The revised version with its internal hydraulic circuit now gives you the option of adjusting the rebound and compression of the suspension from open to almost lockout via a knob on the stem.
