Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport 2024

Tarmac SL7 Sport – Shimano 105

The new Tarmac SL7 Comp was designed to go fast, very fast. There is no doubt about that. But it represents so much more than just the aerodynamic prowess of cutting wind. Due to the lightweight frame and Rider-First Engineered™ concept, it also ensures the best possible ride characteristics across all frame sizes. So whatever you have planned, be it PR, KOM or a place on the podium, the Tarmac SL7 will help you achieve your goals. One bike to conquer them all.

With the new mechanical Shimano 105 groupset with 12 speeds, which now convinces even the last doubters, and the fast-rolling Turbo Pro tires with 700 × 26 mm, the new Tarmac SL7 Comp offers performance at an affordable price.

Highlights

• Aerodynamics were the main focus when developing the Tarmac, as with all of our racing bikes, but weight always remains the co-pilot on this journey to the optimal racing bike. In the past, aero bikes always came with weight compromises - to reduce drag, material had to be added in crucial places. With the Tarmac SL7 we had one goal in mind: to keep the weight at or below the UCI weight limit without compromising on aerodynamics. Using the FreeFoil Shape Library, isotopic finite element analysis (FEA), and a touch of engineering from the best engineers in the industry, we achieved exactly that. The FACT 9r carbon frame weighs just 1010g and does not compromise on aero, stiffness or ride quality
• In Specialized 's quest to create the perfect road bike, we rely on our Rider First Engineered™ philosophy. The Tarmac SL7 was intended to be the most balanced and manageable Tarmac - regardless of frame size. With a bevy of top athletes from our three World Tour teams – SD Worx, Soudal Quick-Step and Bora-hansgrohe – Specialized have made changes to the Tarmac based on their experience from thousands of kilometers ridden. We've balanced the ride quality between the front and rear wheels so even the longest days in the saddle remain comfortable. Of course, you don't have to miss out on the legendary handling and racing speed of the Tarmac
• Building on the knowledge gathered around the development of the Venge, the Tarmac SL7 uses simple integrations to provide a clean and, above all, fast cockpit. Specialized have improved cable routing for each component configuration - mechanical shifters, traditional stems, round bars, etc. - while maintaining aerodynamic properties. The same features also make servicing the Tarmac SL7 and traveling from race to race easier.
