Meet the AllNew Specialized Tarmac SL9 SLevel

Since 1974, Specialized has been laser-focused on improving the ride for every rider. That means applying our innovation to unlock high-performance rides everywhere—the trail, the road, the race course, the gravel, the city—and anywhere else you can imagine.

For riders searching for the fastest road bike, the S-Works Tarmac SL9 stands alone. But for those looking for an aerodynamic and lightweight road bike that delivers near S-Works performance, meet the second-fastest road bike ever made: the all-new Specialized Tarmac SL9 S-Level.

What is Specialized S-Level?

Using our FACT 10r carbon recipe, the Tarmac SL9 S-Level model features SRAM RED, with our Roval Rapide CL III wheels and Roval Rapide cockpit. The S-Level FACT 10r frame weighs just 822 grams, making it one of the lightest aero road frames in the world. With complete builds at just 7.1 kg, the Tarmac SL9 S-Level competes with the top-tier bikes from every other manufacturer.

If you’re comparing road bikes, searching for the best aerodynamic or lightweight road bike, or looking for a high-performance Specialized road bike without going full S-Works, the Tarmac SL9 S-Level sets a new benchmark.
