Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert Carbon Road Bike - 2023 Model

The Tarmac SL7 Expert by Specialized - Uncompromising road bike performance

The Tarmac SL7 Expert carbon road bike from Specialized will take you forward extremely quickly with an electronic SRAM Rival 2x12-speed groupset, Roval carbon wheels and Specialized Turbo tyres. A power meter is integrated directly into the crank axle for power measurement. When it comes to aerodynamics, the Tarmac SL7 is the best in the world, without compromising on weight, which is within the UCI limit. Feedback from professionals played an essential role in the development. In line with Specialized's Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy, attention has also been paid to the optimal carbon layup for each individual frame size of this racing machine, so that they all have the same optimal riding characteristics.

Technology:

FACT™
FACT is an acronym for " Functional Advanced Composite Technology" and summarises all the know-how that Specialized has in the use of carbon fibre. It is a holistic approach, which primarily concerns the bike frames, but is found in many components such as handlebars, stems, saddles etc. The starting point is always the awareness for the needs of riders and the capability to fulfil them. Next, the selection of fibres, resins and fabric layers takes place; in this process the quality of the carbon and the arrangement of the fibre layers play an important role. It is important to find the right set-up for the project at hand and the intended location or rather the area of application. It is often necessary to differentiate from model to model at several points. In the final step, attention is paid to processing the material in a way that allows the desired advantages in terms of low weight, rigidity and stability to be achieved.

Rider-First Engineered™
Rider-First Engineered describes the design approach used by Specialized to precisely match each frame size to the target group. Simply put, smaller frames for smaller riders are built in a different way than larger frames for larger riders. This is done on the basis of performance parameters determined in practical tests, taking into account the forces acting on different areas of the bike when riders of different sizes ride it. Based on this analysis, the optimum tube dimensions and the appropriate carbon fibre covering for the respective frame size are determined. This way you can be sure that no matter what your height is, you will receive a bike that delivers optimal and controllable performance suited to your size.

Aerodynamic Expertise from Specialized
" Aero is everything" is not an empty slogan at Specialized. Their engineers rely on decades of experience in aero design, and use a variety of state-of-the-art methods in the developing top aero racing machines. Central to this, of course, is the wind tunnel (" Win Tunnel" ) at the company's headquarters in California, which is available for round-the-clock testing. It is specially designed to meet the requirements of cyclists and typical situations in road cycling, such as team time trials or riding in a group. The development process always begins with the FreeFoil Shape Library, a collection of countless tube shapes and structures which helps engineers figure out the most interesting configurations for wind tunnel testing. But one does not always have to analyse actual objects. There is also Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which uses computer simulations to experiment with aerodynamic properties. Specialized also makes use of the Data Acquisition System (DAQ), which collects data such as a rider's power, speed, riding position and wind angle of incidence during practical tests on the road or in the velodrome. In turn, conclusions can be drawn from all this information for use in bike fittings and fine tuning.
