2021 Specialized Tarmac SL7 | Devastatingly Effective, Single-Minded Venge Killer 🔪

The 2021 Specialized Tarmac SL7 is here and it marks the end of the great aero versus weight divide for the brand, with the new model replacing both the existing Tarmac SL6 and the more aero-focused Venge as the brand’s flagship race bike.

The new Tarmac SL7 is also disc-only, and the top-flight S-Works bike is claimed to weigh just 6.7kg in Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 spec.

It’s a fearsomely expensive, fearsomely effective speed machine that will delight go-fast riders with its ultra-stiff frame, sublime handling and engaging ride, but is it just too race-focussed for the more casual roadie?

Senior writer, Matthew Loveridge digs deep and presents everything you need to know about this very special bike from it's integrated cockpit to the new FACT 12r carbon and larger tyre clearance. Have a question about the bike? Or do you want to shout about the price of the top spec model? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments!
