Tarmac SL7 Sport 105 Specialized 2026 Gloss Black/Dolomite Metallic

TARMAC SL7 SPORT SHIMANO 105

The new Tarmac is built to go fast—no excuses—but it’s much more than just an aerodynamic masterpiece. With a lightweight Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it delivers the best possible ride characteristics regardless of size. Whatever your goals—personal records, KOMs, or podiums—the Tarmac is ready to help you achieve them. One bike to rule them all.

Equipped with the new 12-speed mechanical Shimano 105 groupset and fast-rolling Turbo Pro 700x26mm tires, this new Tarmac delivers high performance at a more accessible price.

• While aerodynamics were paramount in the Tarmac’s development—as with all our race bikes—weight was its constant companion in the quest for the perfect race machine. Traditionally, “aero bikes” sacrificed weight for speed: the more aerodynamic, the heavier. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep it at or below the UCI weight limit without sacrificing aerodynamics. Using our FreeFoil Shape Library, isotopic finite element analysis, and the expertise of the best engineers in the field, we created a FACT 9r frame weighing just 1,010 grams—without giving up a single gram of aero performance, stiffness, or ride quality.
• Continuing our pursuit of the perfect race bike, we applied our Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy to ensure the new Tarmac is the most balanced and best-handling version ever, regardless of size. Drawing on feedback from our World Tour teams—SD-Worx, Quick-Step, Total Energies, and Bora-hansgrohe—we refined the Tarmac based on thousands of real-world race kilometers. The result is a balanced feel between front and rear ends, delivering comfort on the longest days in the saddle without losing the Tarmac’s renowned handling or race-winning speed.
• Building on the lessons learned from the Venge, the new Tarmac features simple integration with an easy-to-live-with cockpit design. Cable routing has been improved for any setup—mechanical drivetrains, traditional stems, round handlebars—while retaining aerodynamic advantages. This smart design also makes maintenance and travel easier. It’s all win.
