The new Tarmac 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. With a full Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic groupset to keep shifts crisp and fast, and S-Works Turbo 700x26mm tires to keep you rolling fast, this new Tarmac delivers performance at a more palatable price point. While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac's development, and to the development of all Specialized race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously œaero 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, a frame that weighs a mere 920 grams, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality. Continuing the quest to develop the perfect race bike, Specialized used Rider-First Engineered philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yet no matter the size. With an army of the world's best test riders from our three World Tour Teams Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe changes to the Tarmac were made based on their thousands of kilometers on the road. Balancing the ride quality between the front and rear end, so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortable all without giving up anything to the Tarmac's legendary handling and race-winning snappiness. 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. Specialized improved 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. - Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2022 Road Bike in Tropical Teal/Chameleon Eyris, Size 44CM | Rutland Cycling
