Kendall Ryan’s S-Works Tarmac SL7 | Bike Of The Week

Multi-time National Champion Kendall Ryan wins with remarkable frequency. It’s only July, and we’re already using two hands to count her victories this year. She’s a master on two wheels, piloting her L39ION team edition S-Works Tarmac SL7 with the precision and tenacity you would expect from someone who has been a decorated rider for over two decades.

At the 2022 Tulsa Tough weekend, we managed to catch up with her for a rundown of the specs on her SL7 and learn why it’s superior corner-to-corner and at the dash for the line.
