The new S-Works Tarmac SL7 is a race bike that's fun to ride and increased my average speed, but here's what you need to know before buying.

We've been using Specialized's brand new Tarmac for a couple of weeks, and here are our initial thoughts
Aerodynamics and power transfer on par with Venge
Weight (6.89kg tested, size 58cm)
Non-tubeless wheels
Harsher ride than Tarmac SL6
Huge price

The S-Works Tarmac is a stunning race bike that will reward the strongest riders, but it’s arguably overkill for most of us
Racy, exciting ride, supremely efficient-feeling frame, gorgeous finish, huge spec
Mind-bending price tag, non-tubeless wheels, ride will be too focused for some

The aero Venge fuses into the S-Works Tarmac race machine with exceptional ride qualities, aero performance, and a price tag to match.

Stiff but not harsh, agile but not twitchy, and aero without being heavy—it has everything you could ever want.
Lightweight and aero
Tubeless-ready carbon wheels

The 48t big chainring may be too small for some riders

Perfect compromise between speed, comfort and safety
Perfectly balanced handling
Low weight at the limit of legality (don’t tell the UCI-people!)
Integrated dual-sided power meter
Di2 cable mess
