Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport bike 2023

The Tarmac was created to be fast, without 'ifs' and 'buts', and is more than an aerodynamic masterpiece. The lightweight Rider-First Engineered™ frame provides excellent ride quality for all frame sizes. This Tarmac will help you conquer your new personal bests, KOMs and podiums. The fastest bike on any road. The Tarmac Sport has an SL7 frame, and is fitted with the new Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed mechanical groupset - a lightweight all-round bike with wireless shifting at a reasonable price.

Always with the aim of developing the best bike for road racing, Specialized engineers used Rider-First Engineered™ technology to ensure the new Tarmac was balanced and handled well in every frame size. Based on feedback received from athletes in the pro teams SD Workx, Soudal Quick-Step, Total Energies and Bora-hansgrohe and based on their thousands of kilometres on the road, they made changes to the Tarmac. A new balance for the ride quality between the front and rear suspension, so that even long days in the saddle are more comfortable, without compromising the legendary handling and responsiveness of the Tarmac.

In the process of creating the Tarmac, a clean, integrated cockpit was created. The cable routing is prepared for any configuration - including mechanical gearing, a traditional stem, round diameter handlebars and so on. At the same time, the aerodynamic characteristics have been retained.
