For This Bike
Jul 2020 · Josh Croxton
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 best race bike is now even better.
A nearly perfect race bike.
Smooth and lively.

Specialized just announced the Tarmac SL7. Scheduled to be released at the 2020 Tour de France, Specialized opted to unveil their new road bike, the Tarmac SL7.

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

Want to see the new Specialized Tarmac SL7? You'll have to wait. Unless you want to see it in Augmented Reality on the Ride App!

The lightest and fastest Tarmac ever, and one of our Performance Bike of the Year 2020 contenders
Quick but balanced handling
A fast machine
Modest wheelset for the price
Front end’s harder than the rear

The Specialized S-Works Tarmac Disc ranks as one of the best bikes we've ridden
Amazing ride quality
Stiffness hasn't compromised comfort and vice-versa
Excellent wheels
Handling
None

As the new official bike of professional UCI teams like BORA-Hansgrohe, you’re going to see the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL6 Disc in countless races.
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
