2022 Specialized Tarmac SL7 Pro SRAM Force eTap AXS Road Bike - Chameleon

Specialized has meticulously crafted the new Tarmac Road Bike to embody the ultimate fusion of aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and unparalleled ride quality, promising an experience that transcends all others. Leveraging their innovative FreeFoil Shape Library to optimise tube shapes and employing the next generation of Rider-First Engineered™ design, the new Tarmac epitomises their ceaseless pursuit of speed. It stands as a purebred racing marvel with no compromises; a singular machine to dominate every aspect of the road.

The all-new Tarmac Pro epitomises the perfect synthesis of performance and value. Featuring a full SRAM Force eTap AXS 2x groupset, it not only enhances aerodynamic efficiency but also offers a versatile gear range suitable for various riding endeavors, comprising a 46t chainring paired with a 10-36 cassette. Coupled with Roval’s cutting-edge Rapide CL wheels, renowned for their exceptional stability and aerodynamic prowess, the Tarmac Pro with SRAM eTap proves itself ideal for crit racing, group ride domination, or chasing down that elusive personal record.

• Aero supremacy remains paramount, driving the ethos behind the new Tarmac's development. Harnessing the insights from their Venge project and employing their FreeFoil Shape Library, Specialized conducted extensive wind tunnel tests, resulting in a frame that stands as the fastest they've ever tested, shaving off a staggering 45 seconds over 40km compared to the Tarmac SL6. It's pure speed, no compromises.
• While aerodynamics took centre stage in the Tarmac's evolution, weight played a vital role in its optimisation. Contrary to traditional "aero bikes" that often compromised weight for drag reduction, the aim was to maintain or exceed UCI weight limits without sacrificing aerodynamics. With the assistance of advanced engineering tools and their expert team, Specialized achieved a frame weight of just 920g, without compromising on aero efficiency, stiffness, or ride quality.
• Continuing their commitment to perfecting the race bike, the Rider-First Engineered™ approach ensured that the new Tarmac delivers unrivaled balance and handling across all sizes. Refined through extensive testing by Specialized's World Tour Teams (Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe) they've fine-tuned the Tarmac to offer exceptional comfort and agility, ensuring peak performance even on the longest rides.
• Drawing inspiration from the Venge, the new Tarmac features streamlined integration for a sleek, efficient cockpit design that's both user-friendly and aerodynamically optimized. Enhanced routing options accommodate various configurations seamlessly, from mechanical shifting to traditional stems and round bars, all while preserving its aerodynamic prowess. These advancements not only simplify maintenance but also make the new Tarmac a breeze to transport. It's a win-win scenario for riders and mechanics alike.
