As we step back and analyze the new Specialized Tarmac SL7, it’s clear to us that Venge owners will get a fairly significant overall gain if they make the switch.

Aerodynamics and power transfer on par with Venge
Weight (6.89kg tested, size 58cm)

Harsher ride than Tarmac SL6
Huge price

Excellent wheels
Handling

Lovely balance, addictive speed, handling chops too
You can find better value bikes

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
