S-Works Tarmac SL7 SRAM Force eTap AXS Road Bike - 54cm Custom Build

The new Tarmac was designed to have the perfect blend of aerodynamics, light weight, and ride quality to deliver the ride of your life. From using the FreeFoil Shape Library to find the best tube shapes, to developing the next generation of Rider-First Engineered™ design, the new Tarmac is the culmination of Specialized's ever-longing pursuit of speed. It’s a pure-bred race machine with no compromises. One bike to rule them all.

The all-new Tarmac delivers the perfect blend of performance and value. A full SRAM Force eTap AXS 2x groupset aides in aero performance, while delivering a gear range that provides plenty of range for most rides. It also features the Zipp 404 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Wheelset offering superior braking and stopping power. The Tarmac SL7 with SRAM eTap is perfect for crit racing, smashing the group ride, or piloting you to that next PR.

• Specialized have been preaching 'Aero is everything' for years and it’s still the driving force for the new Tarmac. In the quest for tube shapes that deliver the fastest frame that the UCI rules allow, Specialized took a page out of the Venge development book and utilised their FreeFoil Shape Library. Armed with a library of optimised shapes, they turned to the Win Tunnel to plug these shapes into a modular test bike, for more testing and validation. The result is a new Tarmac that’s the fastest they’ve tested, 45 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. No compromises, just pure speed.
• While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac’s development, and to the development of all of Specialized's race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously "aero bikes" always compromised in the weight department; the more drag you reduced, the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac, the design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics.
• Continuing the quest to develop the perfect race bike, Specialized used their Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yet, no matter the size. With an army of the world’s best test riders from three World Tour Teams (Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe) Specialized made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kms on the road. The ride quality between the front and rear end was balanced, so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortable, all without giving up anything to the Tarmac’s legendary handling and race-winning snappiness.
• Building on the learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac utilises simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. The routing for any configuration has been improved (mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc.) all while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. It’s a win-win.
