SPECIALIZED CREO SL
QUICKSTART GUIDE
DEAR TURBO RIDER,
We thank you for having chosen a Specialized Turbo Creo SL. With this brief guideline we would like to ensure you get the most out of your bike and enjoy every
ride. Please contact your Specialized Turbo retailer if you need mnore details. Have great rides!
MISSION CONTROL APP
With our free Mission Control App you further enhance your Creo
SL experience. It not only allows you to customize the motor
characteristics by changing the default motor settings (e.g. cus-
tomize for range vs. power), the App also enables you to control
range, diagnose the system, record rides, sync them with Strava
and more.
TURBO CONNECT DISPLAY
This wireless display connects via ANT+ to show all regular data
of a bicycle computer plus Turbo data like battery state of charge
as % figure and bar scale(s), rider power, cadence and selected
mode. It even allows connecting a heart rate belt.
RANGE EXTENDER BATTERY
This external battery sits in a bottle cage on your Creo SL and
adds 160 Wh, or 50%, of range, which mostly means an addi-
tional ride time of 1 hour in flat/hilly terrain. For longer rides you
can carry more than one additional RE. It is compact and only
weighs 1 kg.
TIRE PRESSURE
Running the correct tire pressure on your Creo SL is crucial for
a controlled and enjoyable ride. The table below is based on the
recommendations on the tires. Your individual setting may vary
according to rider weight and load, terrain and ride style. Front
tires can be inflated with less pressure than rear tires. If your bike
comes with 2bliss ready tires, we recommend a tubeless setup
for even better performance (pressures can be lowered by ~10
psi). Check the tire pressure before each ride.

MANUALS
Please study all the supplied manuals carefully before your first
ride. They contain important information on how to set up, use
and maintain your Creo SL.
SADDLE HEIGHT
The correct saddle height is crucial for pedalling efficiency and
comfort. The following method is a useful guideline: Move one
crank downwards so that it is positioned as extension of the seat
tube (roughly 5 o’clock position). Sit on the bike in riding position
and place your heel on the lower pedal with the foot parallel to
the ground. The saddle height is adequate when your knee is only
slightly angled in this position.
HARDWARE
Having your Creo SL regularly inspected and serviced by an au-
thorized Specialized Retailer is of great importance. Please refer
to all manufacturer’s maintenance documents and ask your local
Specialized Retailer for details.
SOFTWARE
We continuously improve our software to offer you the best
possible ride experience. Therefore, make sure your system runs
with the latest software. Your local Specialized Retailer will be
happy to keep your system up-to-date.
