Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp 105 Di2 Road Bike 2024 The new Tarmac is engineered for speed, offering more than just aerodynamic prowess. With its lightweight Rider-First EngineeredTM frame, the Tarmac ensures optimal ride characteristics for all sizes, making it a versatile choice for achieving your cycling goals, whether it's setting PRs, conquering KOMs, or standing atop the podium. Aerodynamics took center stage in the Tarmac's development, but weight was a crucial consideration. Unlike traditional "aero bikes" that compromised weight for reduced drag, the Tarmac maintains a design philosophy to stay at or below the UCI weight limit without sacrificing aerodynamics. Thanks to the FreeFoil Shape Library, isotopic FEA analysis, and engineering expertise, the FACT 9r frame weighs a mere 1010 grams, delivering exceptional aero performance, stiffness, and ride quality. In pursuit of the perfect race bike, the Rider-First EngineeredTM philosophy ensures that the new Tarmac is the most balanced and best-handling model to date, regardless of size. Feedback from elite test riders of World Tour Teams, including Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe, has fine-tuned the bike's ride quality, striking a harmonious balance between the front and rear ends. The Tarmac's legendary handling and race-winning snappiness remain uncompromised even during long rides. Building on insights from the Venge, the new Tarmac incorporates simple integration for a clean and fast cockpit that is easy to live with. Improved routing accommodates various configurations, such as mechanical shifting and traditional stems, while maintaining aerodynamic attributes. This design makes the Tarmac easy to work on and travel with, offering a winning combination of performance and practicality.
