This is not just a lightweight climbing bike. It is not just an aero road bike. It is not just a sharp-handling race machine. The S-Works Tarmac SL9 is engineered to deliver the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any road bike, helping riders turn more of their effort into pure speed across real roads, real terrain and real race conditions.
Whether you are racing, climbing, sprinting, attacking from the bunch or chasing a personal best, the Specialized Tarmac SL9 is designed to get you to the line faster.
The Fastest Specialized Road Bike Ever Made
The all-new S-Works Tarmac SL9 has been developed around one clear goal: speed where it matters most. Rather than focusing on a single performance metric, Specialized have created a complete race platform that balances aerodynamics, weight, stiffness, comfort and handling to reduce overall ride time. At the heart of the bike is the premium FACT 12r Carbon frame, weighing just 687g. This advanced carbon construction gives the Tarmac SL9 its explosive acceleration, responsive ride feel and efficient power transfer, making it ideal for elite road racing and high-performance riding.
The result is a road bike that feels fast everywhere, on climbs, descents, rolling roads, flat-out sprints and long solo efforts.
Lightweight, Aerodynamic and Built to Race
The S-Works Tarmac SL9 road bike brings together the best elements of a lightweight race bike and an aerodynamic road bike. Its refined tube shapes, integrated design and race-focused geometry help reduce drag while keeping the bike incredibly light and responsive. With selected complete builds weighing around 6.6kg, the Tarmac SL9 offers serious climbing performance without sacrificing aerodynamic speed. This makes it a true all-round road race bike for riders who want one machine capable of performing at the highest level across every type of terrain.
Premium S-Works Performance Components
Every detail of the S-Works Tarmac SL9 has been designed for performance. High-end models feature Roval Rapide CLX III wheels for aerodynamic efficiency, speed and stability, paired with a Roval Rapide Integrated cockpit for a clean, race-ready front end. Depending on the model, riders can choose from premium electronic drivetrains such as Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 or SRAM RED AXS, giving precise, reliable and fast shifting under pressure. These top-level components complete a bike built for riders who demand the best from every ride.
