The Specialized Tarmac SL9 Expert is designed to offer the maximum balance between aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and precision of handling.
The FACT 10r carbon frame is born from the experience gained on Specialized racing platforms and is developed according to the Rider First Engineered and Win Tunnel Engineered principles, with the goal of turning every watt into real speed.
The SRAM Force AXS E1 electronic drivetrain delivers precise, immediate wireless shifting, with a 48/35 crankset and 10-36 cassette, a versatile combination suited to both high speeds and the most demanding routes.
The Roval C38 Tubeless Ready carbon wheels, paired with S-Works Turbo 700x30 tires, guarantee an excellent compromise between smoothness, comfort, and control.
With a claimed weight of 7.55 kg in size 56, the Tarmac SL9 Expert represents a complete solution for those seeking a high-performance road bike ready for competition.

Tip: to receive the bike ready to ride, you can add the "Bike assembled and adjusted by the Cicli Drigani technicians" option to your cart for €59. With this service, the bike will arrive assembled, adjusted, and ready to be ridden. Without this option, the bike will be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging and will require some technical work before it can be used safely.
