Specialized Tarmac SL6 Comp Disc review

Jul 2019 · Warren Rossiter

Specialized’s approach to the Tarmac SL6 design process was somewhat conflicted: it wanted a lighter bike that was stiffer and more comfortable, but it didn’t want to change the handling or ride position.. .

Highs
  • Lovely balance, addictive speed, handling chops too

Lows
  • You can find better value bikes
