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.

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
