We think so! The Californian-designed Swiss-engineered bikes are world-leaders with tech and design and we’re happy to announce Crooze is now an official retailer of Specialized Turbo eBikes. Read on to find out why they’re worth the price tag.
Specialized eBikes: It's you, only faster
One of the most innovative eBike brands in the world, Specialized is driven by an obsessive commitment to deliver natural, nimble experiences for every rider.
“We wanted you to feel like you were on a “regular” bike, but somehow, you’d grown superhero legs. This core mission still hasn’t changed. It’s now, and forever will be, our promise for every Turbo E-Bike: It’s You, Only Faster.”
Since launching their first Turbo in 2009 their functional and technically advanced eBikes (Levo, Creo, and Valdo) have continually raised the bar for all bike manufacturers. Covering mountain, road, and commuter models, the Turbo line is a testament to Specialized’s commitment to “innovate or die” - engineering eBikes with superior integration, handling and connectivity.
Californian-Designed, Swiss-Engineered
Turbo refers to Specialized’s electric bike technology system. They shunned off-the-shelf motors and batteries instead developing their cutting edge tech in e-Bike-obsessed Cham, Switzerland, and then tuning the ride at their Morgan Hill, California headquarters. The result? Smooth, powerful, and silent pedal-assistance; maximum range, and superior connectivity solutions.

About Turbo Levo SL
The Turbo Levo SL is the lightest e-Mountain bike in its class thanks to its svelte-yet-stiff chassis, superlight motor, and cutting-edge power supply. End result? A veritable mountain biking unicorn that’s light and nimble, loves to get airborne, manoeuvres through technical terrain with ease… and gives you the power to ride more trails.
A lightweight SL 1.1 motor doubles your pedalling power with as much as 240 watts of silent and powerful assistance to your pedals.
Assist up to 20 mph / 32 km/h: The Turbo Levo SL chassis is constructed entirely from light-yet-strong FACT 11m carbon.
What’s the difference between Turbo Levo SL Comp and Turbo Levo SL Expert?
The key differences are weight and power. The Levo SL Comp will push you up a hill and is heavier than the Levo SL Expert. For the most authentic downhill option the Levo SL Expert will leave you wondering if you are even carrying the extra weight.
Turbo Creo SL: eBikes For Road and Gravel
The Turbo Creo line redefines e-road bike performance. These eBikes are ideal for riders tackling the demands of a rugged daily commute and epic missions grinding gravel roads and trails.
Crooze currently stocks the following models from Specialized’s Turbo Creo SL line:

With the Future Shock 2.0, you'll feel a reduction in fatigue and an increase in speed, no matter the terrain.
