Key Benefits for Riders

Unmatched Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics remain the cornerstone of the Tarmac SL7 Comp design, utilizing insights from the Venge to create a clean, fast cockpit with improved routing. This ensures that whether you're using mechanical shifting or traditional stems, the bike maintains its aerodynamic edge without sacrificing practicality. The integration is simple, making the Tarmac easy to maintain and travel with, giving you a bike that performs seamlessly at every race.

Rider-First Engineered for Optimal Handling

The Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy ensures that the Tarmac SL7 Comp delivers optimal performance and handling for riders of all sizes. Collaborating with world-class test riders from top teams like Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe, Specialized balanced the ride quality to be responsive at the front end while providing comfort and stability at the rear. This ensures you can enjoy long days in the saddle without sacrificing race-winning snappiness or performance.

Lightweight and Stiff for Maximum Performance

The Tarmac SL7 Comp maintains an impressive balance between weight and aerodynamics. Despite its aero capabilities, the frame weighs just 1010 grams—light enough to meet UCI weight limits without compromising on stiffness or ride quality. Specialized achieved this by leveraging tools like the FreeFoil Shape Library and isotropic FEA analysis, ensuring that every gram of the bike is optimized for maximum performance without unnecessary weight gain.

Smooth, Precise Shifting with Shimano 105 Di2

The Shimano 105 Di2 groupset provides electronic shifting for a smooth, responsive ride. With a 12-speed setup, it delivers fast and precise shifts every time, giving you confidence on any terrain. The hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, with 160mm rotors at the front and 140mm at the rear, ensuring you can handle technical descents and tight corners with ease.
