Specialized Tarmac SL9 Expert Force AXS Road Bike

Designed to translate maximum rider effort into pure, unadulterated speed, the Specialized Tarmac SL9 Expert Force AXS Road Bike sets a new standard for competitive road performance. Constructed with a light yet exceptionally stiff FACT 10r carbon frame that benefits from Rider-First Engineering and extensive wind-tunnel testing, this race-proven platform balances aerodynamic efficiency with effortless climbing agility. Coming in at a nimble 7.55 kilograms, it delivers precise handling through high-speed turns and explosive power transfer on steep inclines, helping riders cross the finish line faster on real-world race courses.

Wireless Precision and Dynamic Control

Shifting and drivetrain duties are managed by the intuitive SRAM Force AXS E1 12-speed wireless electronic groupset, which provides immediate, crisp gear changes alongside clean aesthetic appeal. Coupled with SRAM Force E1 hydraulic disc brakes, riders experience predictable, powerful stopping force on fast descents and in challenging wet conditions. The wheelset features deep-section Roval C38 carbon tubeless-ready rims wrapped in grippy 700x30 S-Works Turbo tyres, delivering low rolling resistance and outstanding stability across varied tarmac surfaces.

Ergonomic Integration and Endurance Comfort

The front end utilizes a slick Roval Rapide alloy stem paired with Specialized Expert shallow drop alloy handlebars to ensure precise control and efficient aerodynamics without sacrificing fit customization. Long-distance comfort is guaranteed by a Body Geometry Power Expert saddle featuring hollow titanium rails, supported by a vibration-damping S-Works carbon seatpost and grippy Supacaz tape. Perfect for discerning cyclists seeking top-tier wireless tech and proven speed, this complete setup offers third-party buyers a race-ready advantage for grand fondos, criteriums, and fast weekend efforts.
