Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport

Beschreibung

The new Tarmac is designed to be fast, there's no doubt about that - but it represents so much more than aerodynamic power. With a lightweight, Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it offers the best possible riding characteristics regardless of size. So, whatever you're up to with your new Tarmac, it's ready to help you achieve your goals - PRs, KOMs or the podium. One bike to dominate them all.

With the new Shimano 105 Mechanical 12-speed group, along with fast Turbo Pro 700x26mm tyres, this new Tarmac delivers performance at a more attractive price.

While aerodynamics were paramount in the development of the Tarmac, and for the development of all our road bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike ride. Previously, "aero bikes" always made concessions on weight - the more drag you reduced, the more weight you added. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep the weight at or below the UCI weight limit, without compromising on aerodynamics. And using the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some technical magic from the best engineers in the industry, we delivered a Fact 9r frame that weighs just 1010g, without sacrificing a single gram of aerodynamics, stiffness or ride quality.

As part of our search for the perfect road bike, we have used our Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best-handling Tarmac yet - regardless of size. With an army of the world's best test cyclists from our three World Tour Teams - Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe - we tweaked the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometres on the road. We have balanced the ride quality between the front and rear, so that even the longest days on the saddle remain comfortable - without giving up anything of the Tarmac's legendary handling and race fitness.

Based on lessons learned from the Venge, the new Tarmac uses simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that is easy to use. We have improved routing for every configuration - mechanical shifting, traditional handlebars, round handlebars, etc. - while maintaining aerodynamic features. These same features also make the new Tarmac easy to maintain and easy to transport. It's a win-win situation.
