Specialized Tarmac SL6 Sport red 2022 | Road bike

When we developed the Tarmac Disc, we didn't just want it to be fast. We wanted it to be fast everywhere. Long climbs, windy plains, Grand Tour stages, local rides - we've built a road bike that meets our idea of ​​completeness. How did we do that? We started with our Rider First Engineered™ frame and its perfectly tuned ride quality for every size, added groundbreaking aero technology that makes it 30 seconds faster than the Tarmac SL5 over 40 kilometers, and then made the whole thing 20% ​​lighter. This Tarmac comes with reliable equipment that includes Shimano 105 mechanical and reliable hydraulic disc brakes, durable DT R470 wheels and our popular Power saddle.

• For the construction of the Tarmac, we used advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 9r carbon.
• 500 pieces creating 7 different sizes with the same tuned ride–that's Rider-First Engineered™. We examine every ply of carbon on every frame size to ensure that all of our performance targets come through. To make sure you get the perfect ride, every frame gets a unique layup schedule with different ply arrangements, orientations, quantities of material in specific areas, and sometimes, even exclusive thicknesses and types of carbon itself.
• Aerodynamics is the most important thing we can do to make you faster, but with the Tarmac, we added aero features without any cost to weight. Through development, areas were discovered where we could add aero for free—a new fork shape and dropped seatstays with aero tubes. The result? A Tarmac that's approximately 30 seconds faster over 40 kilometers.
• The updated geometry is based on countless Retül data points and professional rider input. This enabled us to develop a Performance Road Geometry that perfects the combination of a responsive front-end and short wheelbase, which delivers instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.
