Specialized Tarmac SL9 Comp

The Specialized Tarmac SL9 Comp is a carbon road bike designed to deliver an extremely effective balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and riding precision.

Designed for road racing and for cyclists looking for a fast, modern bike without going for the most extreme builds in the range, the Tarmac SL9 Comp combines the FACT 10r Carbon frame with the Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset, DT Swiss R470 Tubeless Ready wheels, and Roval and Specialized components.

With a declared weight of 8.21 kg in size 56, it represents a complete, high-performance platform that is easy to upgrade over time.

TARMAC SL9 FACT 10R CARBON FRAME

The frame uses FACT 10r carbon and is developed according to the Rider First Engineered philosophy, designed to offer consistent stiffness and response characteristics across the different sizes.

The design also benefits from Win Tunnel Engineered aerodynamic development, with shapes designed to reduce air resistance without compromising the bike's handling.

The platform integrates:

• threaded BSA bottom bracket
• 12x142 mm rear thru-axle
• Flat Mount brake mount
• UDH derailleur hanger
• integrated cable routing

The FACT 12r Carbon fork completes a structure focused on steering precision and weight containment.

SHIMANO 105 DI2 12-SPEED

The Specialized Tarmac SL9 Comp is equipped with a 12-speed Shimano 105 Di2 electronic drivetrain.

The configuration includes:

• Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 shifters
• Shimano 105 R7170 front derailleur
• Shimano 105 Di2 R7150 rear derailleur
• Shimano 105 FC-R7100 crankset 52/36T
• Shimano 105 CS-R7100 cassette 11-34T
• Shimano SLX CN-M7100 chain

The 52/36 and 11-34 combination offers a versatile gear range, suitable for both fast routes and climbs.

SHIMANO 105 HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES

Braking is handled by the Shimano 105 BR-R7170 hydraulic brakes, designed to offer power, modulation, and control.

The disc system is particularly effective both on dry roads and in changing weather conditions, ensuring a consistent and predictable response.

DT SWISS R470 TUBELESS READY WHEELS

The Tarmac SL9 Comp is fitted with wheels featuring DT Swiss R470 Disc rims with a 20 mm internal channel and Tubeless Ready compatibility.

The configuration includes:

• 24 front spokes
• 24 rear spokes
• Specialized hubs with sealed bearings
• thru-axles
• Centerlock disc mount
• DT Swiss Champion stainless steel spokes
• DT Swiss brass nipples

This is a robust and reliable wheelset, suitable for everyday use and easily replaceable in the future with carbon wheels to further enhance the bike's performance.

S-WORKS TURBO 700X30 TIRES

The wheels are paired with S-Works Turbo 700x30 tires.

The 30 mm section offers a good balance between:

• rolling efficiency
• grip
• comfort
• stability

A modern choice consistent with the performance-oriented setup of the Tarmac SL9.

ROVAL RAPIDE COCKPIT

The cockpit uses a Roval Rapide aluminum stem paired with a Specialized Shallow Drop handlebar in 6061 alloy.

The handlebar features:

• 70 mm reach
• 125 mm drop
• 31.8 mm clamp diameter

The configuration is designed to offer a sporty position that remains easily manageable even over long distances.

S-WORKS TARMAC SL8 CARBON SEATPOST

The Body Geometry Power Comp saddle with alloy rails completes a build designed to combine comfort and support during longer rides.
