Specialized Tarmac
The Specialized Tarmac has been the final word in race bikes since 2004. With the launch of the Specialized Tarmac SL8 in 2023 it went to a new level. The lightest frame on the world tour and the most aerodynamic bike at the same time. That’s right nothing is lighter and nothing is more aerodynamic.
The Tarmac SL7 is the most-winning bike of all time, with 4 world championships and a handful of Grand Tour GC victories and monument wins to its name.
The Tarmac SL6 started the aerodynamic climbing bike revolution and remains one of the greatest racing bikes ever made.
