As this is not a brand new bike, it may not feature the full original technical specification and is subject to change.

With the Tarmac SL7, you are no longer forced to choose between aerodynamics and weight, ride quality and speed. Climb on the lightest bike the UCI allows, then descend on the fastest. The most advanced technologies have been utilised, from Specialized's FreeFoil Shape Library to an all-new Rider-First Engineered™ frame, to deliver a race bike that is truly without compromise. The days of making sacrifices between “aero” and “lightweight” bikes are over; the all-new Tarmac is the fastest race bike, ever. One bike to rule them all.

• Specialized have been preaching 'Aero is everything' for years and it’s still the driving force for the new Tarmac. In the quest for tube shapes that deliver the fastest frame that the UCI rules allow, they took a page out of the Venge development book and utilised a FreeFoil Shape Library. Armed with a library of optimised shapes, Specialized turned to the Win Tunnel to plug these shapes into a modular test bike, for more testing and validation. The result is a new Tarmac that’s the fastest they’ve tested; 45 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. No compromises, just pure speed.
• While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac’s development, and to the development of all of Specialized's race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously “aero bikes” always compromised in the weight department, the more drag you reduced, the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac, the design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. With the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry, Specialized delivered a frame that weighs just 800g, without giving up a gramme of aero, stiffness or ride quality.
• Continuing the quest to develop the perfect race bike, Specialized used a Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yet, no matter the size. With an army of the world’s best test riders from Specialized's three World Tour Teams - Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe - they made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kms on the road. Specialized balanced the ride quality between the front and rear end, so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortable, all without giving up anything to the Tarmac’s legendary handling and race-winning snappiness.
• Building on the learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac utilises simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. The routing has been improved for any configuration (mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc) all while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. It’s a win-win.
