Why should you be forced to choose between aerodynamics & weight between ride quality & speed? Its simple you shouldnt. Enter the new Tarmac—climb on the lightest bike the UCI allows then descend on the fastest. Weve utilized our most advanced technologies from our Free Foil 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" & "lightweight" bikes are over—the all-new Tarmac is the fastest race bike ever. One bike to rule them all. To complement the worlds fastest frame only the best components will do—which is why youll find the likes of SRAMs RED e Tap AXS 12-speed group with power meter & Rovals new CLX Rapide wheels with their exceptional stability & aerodynamic prowess. The S-Works Tarmac is a top-level 6.8kg race machine right out of the box. Aero is everything”—we’ve been preaching it for years & it’s still the driving force for the new Tarmac. In our quest for tube shapes that deliver the fastest frame that the UCI rules allow we took a page out of the Venge development book & utilized our Free Foil Shape Library. Armed with a library of optimized shapes we turned to the Win Tunnel to plug these shapes into a modular test bike for more testing & validation. The result? A new Tarmac that’s the fastest we’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 & to the development of all of our 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 our 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 Free Foil Shape Library tools like isotopic FEA analysis & some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry we delivered a frame that weighs a mere 800 grams without giving up a gram of aero stiffness or ride quality. Continuing our quest to develop the perfect race bike we used our 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 our three World Tour Teams — Boels-Dolmans Deceuninck-Quick-Step & Bora-hansgrohe — we made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometers on the road. We balanced the ride quality between the front & 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 & race-winning snappiness. Building on the learnings from the Venge the new Tarmac utilizes simple integration to create a clean fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. We’ve enhanced the routing 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 & easy to travel with. It’s a win-win.

The Terra seatpost is the best choice for riding mixed terrain gravel or rough roads because it smooths the ride by allowing significant vertical compliance. The secret to this ride smoothing post is in the composite layup that we utilized. By utilizing composites with varying elongation characteristics at specific locations in the post we enabled vertical compliance for comfort while retaining requisite strength for mixed terrain riding all at a sub-200 gram weight (27.2 x 330 x 0). Advanced composite construction delivers ride-smoothing vertical compliance. Proven clamp design ensures ease of adjustment & slip-free performance. 18mm Vertical Compliance (20mm offset / Full Extension) 194 grams (27.2 x 330mm x 0) Available in four

The all new S-Works Torch Lace delivers the timeless refined style of a lace up with an unprecedented level of efficiency lightweight & comfort thanks to Body Geometry. It all adds up to a shoe that disappears on your foot yet begs to be seen. Like every shoe we make the S-Works Torch Lace starts with Body Geometry
- identify a problem solve it with design validate it with science
- to improve comfort increase performance & reduce the chance of injury for every rider. Comfort: The S-Works Torch Lace utilizes our new forefoot shape
- 4mm wider than the S-Works 7
- based on extensive 3D foot scans & Retul data. The upper features remapped zonal layering throughout. It remains incredibly supple to adapt to different foot shapes yet won’t stretch over a long day in the saddle to ensure a secure consistent fit. An asymmetric heel counter reduces hard touch points against the ankle & still delivers knee stability validated by our Human Performance team. Efficiency: Every Body Geometry shoe optimizes ankle knee & hip alignment for a stable & pedal stroke with our patented Varus Wedge a 1.5mm outward tilt to the outsole. Thanks to the light weight retention of laces & watching every gram
- from the carbon outsole to the upper material
- the S-Works Torch Lace weigh a feathery 200 grams in size 42. With an internal ‘I-Beam’ the carbon outsole provides the ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio for big efforts without adding excess grams optimized by working with the best riders in the world. Style: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & those that see the S-Works Torch Lace will get to admire them as long as they can hang on your wheel. With classic lines & understated color ways the S-Works Torch Lace is at home whether you chase finish lines or mountain tops before sunset. New upper features reinforcement in key zones while also offering adaptive fit zones to create a disappearing fit on the foot. Based on data gathered from Retul foot scans the new base plate is 4mm wider at the ball than the previous generation of S-Works 7 shoe. By optimizing its construction the new carbon plate is 20g lighter than the S-Works 7. An internal I-Beam ensures it maintains the same stiffness as the previous generation. An updated last makes use of Retul data to better match the shape of riders feet sloping more towards the lateral side to give a snug close-to-foot fit. Asymmetrical heel counter supports the medial side while removing material from the lateral side allowing for a lower collar. Laced closure maintains the most opportunity to customize fit along the entire foot. Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position pedal/cleats 5mm rearward. Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals. Non-slip replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws for security. Approximate weight: 200g (1/2 pair Size 42).

The S-Works Torch is the latest evolution of the winningest footwear in cycling. Using Body Geometry together with biomimicry data science & obsessive craftsmanship we engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you’ll forget you’re wearing it. Leveraging data science Specialzied refined every detail of the S-Works Torch’s upper for enhanced fit & performance. The BOA cable is shifted down & angled preventing lift on the ball of the foot & delivering power-enhancing structure while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural movement of the foot where needed for comfort while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot secured for crisp power delivery & optimal efficiency. Guided by more than 100000 foot scans from our RETu L fit data Specialized recognized that both a standard & a wide carbon base plate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal I-Beam adds stiffness & strength eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is a 20-gram weight reduction enhanced efficiency & immediate power transfer. Following RETu L biomechanical data Specialized created an asymmetric heel cup that supports natural knee alignment & delivers the positive hold riders love while enhancing comfort by accommodating more room for the Achilles heel. The S-Works Torch is scientifically crafted to disappear on your feet & off the front. New upper features reinforcement in key zones while also offering adaptie fit zones to create a disappearing fit on the foot. Based on data gathered from Retul foot scans the new base plate is 4mm wider at the ball than the previous generation of S-Works 7 shoe.
