SPECIALIZED S-WORKS TARMAC SL9 SRAM RED AXS

The new S-Works Tarmac SL9represents the absolute pinnacle of road racing technology. It is the fastest competition bike ever created by Specialized, designed to deliver a perfect balance between extreme lightness, advanced aerodynamics, and maximum efficiency.

It is not only the lightest, nor simply the most aerodynamic: the Tarmac SL9 was developed to achieve the lowest course time ever recorded on a racing bike, thanks to real-world road testing with professional athletes and authentic race conditions.

Every detail is optimized to transform every watt from the rider into pure speed. The FACT 12r carbon frame, the Rider First Engineered geometry, and the total integration of components make this bike an uncompromising racing machine.

This version is equipped with a SRAM RED AXS drivetrain, the top of the range for performance, precision, and lightness.
