SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL7 EXPERT DISC ROAD BIKE 2021
Specialized's Tarmac SL7 Expert Disc Road Bike brings you the best performance credentials - low weight, sublime handling and speed, and creates a great value performance package that includes mechanical Shimano Ultegra and Roval C 38 Disc carbon wheels. The latest in the Tarmac line-up, this bike aims to combine the attributes of the Tarmac with those of the Venge, creating a no-compromise racing machine that's incredibly light and aerodynamic. FACT 10r carbon and tube shapes designed around the brand's FreeFoil Shape Library are behind the performance, with the frameset developed and tested in the Win Tunnel to optimise drag reduction and stability.
Rider-First Engineered™ design ensures this is the most balanced Tarmac ever, and the benefits can be seen across the entire range of sizes. The proven Performance Road Geometry of the SL6 has been retained; it's racy and aggressive, optimising efficiency while remaining comfortable for longer rides and races.
Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc components are both reliable and precise, in shifting and braking performance, and there are a wide range of gears in the pairing of a mid-compact chainset and 11-30-tooth cassette. The Roval C 38 carbon wheels and Specialized S-Works Turbo tyre combination make for smooth, fast-rolling, and the finishing kit is made up of a Tarmac-specific seatpost and stem, alloy handlebar and a Power Expert saddle.
