2019 Specialized Tarmac SL6 Expert Disc - Road Bike

2019 Specialized Tarmac SL6 Expert Disc Road Bike

Whether you're searching for that extra edge that you need to hit that new PB, or just looking for a bike with a responsive, engaging ride for those Sunday club runs, the Tarmac SL6 Expert Disc has got to be a contender. Specced out with Shimano's faultless Ultegra groupset complete with hydraulic disc brakes, a carbon Roval C38 wheelset and featuring a high-performance FACT 10r carbon fibre frame, this a road bike ready to perform on any parcours.

That carbon fibre frameset has been specially optimised for a superbly low weight while still delivering an impressive level of stiffness where you need it. The frame design itself also benefits from Specialized's Rider-First Engineeredâ„¢ technology, which ensures that every single size in the lineup delivers exactly the same precision bike handling and super stiff performance that the Tarmac range is renowned for. Meanwhile, the carbon fibre Roval C38 wheelset ensures that this bike is ready for even the toughest col. The fact that those rims are fully tubeless ready means that you'll be fully ready to upgrade to lower tyres pressures and extra puncture protection should you need it.

The 52/36T chainrings, paired with the 11-30t cassette, mark this bike out as a race-orientated model, ideal when it comes to putting down the power during competition. That's not to say this bike is too single-minded when it comes to its ride - the frame has been optimised for vertical compliance as well as stiffness, while the addition of a carbon seatpost and wide 26mm S-Works Turbo tyres add another level of all-day riding comfort.
