News bot Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Press releaseThe Tarmac SL7 puts an end to compromise, and racing will never be the same. Climb on the lightest bike the rules allow, sprint on the fastest - all with legendary Tarmac handling. It’s like we combined Julian Alaphilippe’s attacking, climbing style, and Peter Sagan’s aggressive power in a single rider with no weaknesses. The only choice you need to make is when to attack.Click here to view the article
Heinrichgg Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 As aero bikes get closer and closer to the weight limit, this only makes sense as climbing frames that forego aerodynamics will soon be obsolete at the highest level in any case. The Tour de France has been dominated recently by Pinarello and I don't see them constantly switching models from flat to hilly stages. Bianchi also seems ahead of the game in this regard.
Lance Stephenson Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 OMG, this is what I love about MARKETING, " this bike will save a rider an average of 45sec over 40km". Sounds amazing..........AT WHAT AVERAGE SPEED DO YOU NEED TO RIDE TO GAIN THAT ADVANTAGE? DieselnDust, Pusher, slickjay007 and 4 others 7
WrightJnr Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Yip. I like it !! I got to threaded BB and had heard all I needed to hear. Edited July 28, 2020 by WrightJnr Beefy, Dirkitech and Pure Savage 3
Underachiever Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 After this magnificent marketing effort, I'm convinced you cannot buy better (comic sans...). Aero, stiff and light!!! So I wonder, what will the marketing angle be when they launch the Tarmac SL8? paul goddard, Long Wheel Base and ChrisF 3
WrightJnr Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Hub get ready... Brand X , Y or Z launches new bike, everyone “wow” “awesome”. Specialized launch anything “OMG....pure evil rubbish”. Haters gonna hate. Jakkals., Riaan H and Pretorim 3
gummibear Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Specialized,Trek,BMC and ORBEA all look the same.At least Trek offers custom colours to make your ride special. Weighed a 2021 Trek Emonda SLR9 in the week and it came in at 6.2kg for a 54cm frame with cages.Going to be interesting to see where the Tarmac price is compared to the 10k euro Trek.

CrankShaft Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 45 secs faster over 45km.. How they do that calculation? Sagan pushing 750watts for an hour? gummibear and DieselnDust 2

Headshot Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 That's way too much marketing bumpf to read. Is it any good?
