Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp Rival AXS Disc Road Bike 2022
The Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp Rival AXS Disc Road Bike balances speed, low weight and nimble handling to grant an exceptional performance, no matter the course topography. The frameset’s refined full FACT 10r carbon layup combines with its wind tunnel optimised tube shapes to result in maximum pedalling efficiency, low weight and slick aerodynamics. Realised via Specialized’s Rider-First Engineered design philosophy, the frameset perfectly balances front and rear stiffness and heightens vertical compliance to offer the best possible ride experience, regardless of the frame’s size. A pro-rider inspired geometry guarantees nimble but composed handling as well as a comfortable, powerful riding position.
A DT Swiss wheelset features a light but robust alloy rim that boasts a broad internal measurement to ensure superior tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyre performance. These wheels are propelled by the SRAM Rival AXS gear configuration that has a wireless, electronic format to guarantee smooth, reliable shifts. This wireless set-up combines with the internal brake hose routing that runs through the stem and the frame to deliver an ultimately clean silhouette. Hydraulic disc brakes complete the build by promising extra stopping power and precision in all weather conditions.
