Specialized Tarmac SL9 S-Level SRAM RED AXS
When a bike is built for racing, every component has a purpose. The Specialized Tarmac SL9 S-Level takes this approach to a higher level, combining a FACT 10r carbon frame, a top-tier SRAM RED AXS groupset and a highly integrated component setup.
It is a road bike developed for riders looking for an exceptionally responsive, aerodynamic and lightweight machine, with a specification that brings together some of the most advanced components in the Specialized range.
🏁 The Tarmac SL9 frame
At the heart of the bike is the Tarmac SL9 FACT 10r Carbon frame, developed according to Specialized's Rider First Engineered philosophy. The platform is designed to deliver consistent handling and performance across the full size range.
The aerodynamic design incorporates solutions developed through testing in the Win Tunnel, including the Speed Sniffer head tube, Win Fin, lowered down tube and Flow Fork. The result is a frame designed to reduce aerodynamic drag while maintaining a strong focus on weight and dynamic performance.
⚡ SRAM RED AXS E1: electronic, precise and wireless
The drivetrain is built around the SRAM RED AXS E1 12-speed groupset, a high-end setup designed for racing and performance road riding.
The shift/brake levers and rear derailleur use AXS technology, while braking is handled by SRAM RED E1 hydraulic disc brakes. The SRAM RED XG-1290 E1 10-36T cassette provides a wide range suitable for both fast sections and demanding climbs.
🎯 Power measurement with Quarq
The SRAM RED AXS E1 50/37T crankset features an integrated Quarq power meter. Power measurement is therefore built directly into the bike, without the need to add an aftermarket power meter later.
For riders who use their bike for structured training and racing, having power data directly from the crankset provides a practical way to monitor effort and analyse performance.
🛞 Roval Rapide CL III
The Tarmac SL9 S-Level is equipped with a set of Roval Rapide CL III carbon wheels, featuring tubeless-compatible rims and a design developed for high-performance road riding.
The front rim has a 51 mm depth, while the rear reaches 48.5 mm. The stated internal rim width is 21 mm. DT350 hubs and DT Swiss Competition Race Straight Pull spokes complete the wheelset.
The wheels are paired with Cotton TLR 700x30 tyres for a tubeless-ready performance setup.
🔧 Integrated Roval Rapide Cockpit
The cockpit is an integrated Roval Rapide Cockpit, combining the handlebar and stem into a single system. This solution contributes to a clean and aerodynamic front end while complementing the integrated design of the Tarmac.
The cockpit is finished with Supacaz Super Sticky Kush bar tape, while the seatpost is an S-Works Tarmac SL8 Carbon FACT carbon model with a 15 mm offset.
🪶 A 7.1 kg race bike
Specialized states a weight of 7.1 kg for this build, based on a size 56 configuration and the manufacturer's specified production setup. Actual weight may vary depending on frame size, paint finish and component configuration.
🎯 Built for speed
The Tarmac SL9 S-Level brings together the characteristics expected from a high-end road racing bike: low weight, aerodynamics, responsiveness and integration.
The result is a machine suited to riders looking for a high-performance setup for racing, gran fondos, climbing and fast road rides, starting from a platform specifically developed for demanding road performance.
