Equipped with the SRAM Rival Etap AXS this bike has incredibly fast shifting and has a gear ready whenever you need it. Its rolling on S-Works Turbo 26x700c tyres to give you all the perfemance from the tyre that you need! 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. With the new Tarmac, Specialized's design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. With the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry, Specialized delivered a frame that weighs a mere 920 grams, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality. Continuing Specialized's quest to develop the perfect race bike, they used the 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 their three World Tour Teams Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe. Specialized balanced 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. We've 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 2023 Carbon Road Bike in Carbon/White, Size 44 | Rutland Cycling
