Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert Disc Road Bike 2022
The Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert Disc Road Bike comprises a FACT 10r carbon frameset that is light and laterally stiff, guaranteeing responsiveness under power when climbing demanding ascents or accelerating away from corners. The aerodynamically tuned frame tube profiles complement the frameset's reactivity by markedly reducing drag through a complete sweep of yaw angles. The frameset is designed via the Rider First Engineered concept to donate a perfect balance of lateral stiffness and vertical compliance from front to rear, ensuring an exceptional ride quality, whatever the frame size. The ride quality is further improved over rough roads by the generous clearance for broader tyres that naturally heighten plushness and control.
A race-inspired geometry positions the rider comfortably and powerfully over the semi-wireless, electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8100 12-speed drivetrain that shifts with speed and accuracy, even under extreme pedalling loads. This drivetrain efficiently transfers power through to the Roval C38 carbon rimmed wheelset that is light and aerodynamic and promises excellent crosswind stability. Stopping is taken care of by the hydraulic disc brakes that donate power and control at all times, even in the teeming rain.
