Description
Why should you be forced to choose between aerodynamics and weight, between ride quality and speed? It’s simple, you shouldn’t. Enter the new Tarmac SL7, climb on the lightest bike the UCI allows, then descend on the fastest. Specialized utilized their most advanced technologies, from the FreeFoil Shape Library to an all-new Rider-First Engineered™ frame, to deliver a race bike that is truly without compromise…To complement the world's fastest frame, only the best components will do which is why you’ll find the likes of SRAM’s RED eTap AXS 12-speed group with power meter, and Roval’s new CLX Rapide wheels, with their exceptional stability and aerodynamic prowess. The Sworks Tarmac is a top-level, 6.8kg race machine, right out of the box.The new Tarmac SL7 is designed to go fast, there's no if's, and's, or but's about that—but it represents so much more than just aerodynamic prowess. With a light-weight, Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it delivers the best-possible ride characteristics, no matter the size. So no matter what you have planned for your new Tarmac, its ready to help you achieve your goals PRs, KOMs, or podium top-steps. One bike to rule them all.While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac’s development, and to the development of all of their race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously “aero bikes” always compromised in the weight department—the more drag you reduced, the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac, the design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. And with the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry, they have delivered a frame that weighs a mere 800 grams, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality.Building on the learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac utilizes simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. Improving the routing for any configuration mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc. All while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. It’s a win-win.The 2022 Specialized Sworks Tarmac SL7 FeaturesFrameset: Sworks Tarmac SL7 FACT 12r Carbon, Rider First Engineered™, Win Tunnel Engineered, Clean Routing, Threaded BB, 12x142mm thru-axle, flat-mount discGroupset: SRAM RED eTAP AXS, 12-speed with Power MeterBrakeset: SRAM RED eTAP AXS, hydraulic discWheelset: Roval Rapide CLX, 21mm internal width carbon rim, 60mm depth, Win Tunnel Engineered, Roval AFD hub, 18H/24H DT Swiss Aerolite spokes
