Fork material
Creo 2 Expert has a carbon fork, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your e-bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Wheels size
The wheels on Creo 2 Expert are the 700c carbon type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Creo 2 Expert is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If you are a technical rider, a dropper post is essential. A dropper post provides increased safety while riding. The lever system, allows you to move your saddle up and down, which is very useful on climbs and descends.
