S-Works Tarmac SL9 Frameset

One Bike To Rule Them All

The all-new S-Works Tarmac SL9 is the fastest road bike ever made. Not just because it’s the lightest. Not just because it’s our most aero. Not because it handles better than anything else on the road. But because it delivers the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any road bike ever made. Tarmac SL9 turns more of your effort into pure speed—validated for real race courses, real terrain, real riders. When the goal is to cross the line first, no road bike gets you there faster.

The Specialized Science Club Presents

Time to Finish
The Only Metric that Matters
Tarmac SL9 was proven through the most comprehensive road race simulations ever created. The result? Tarmac SL9 would have made Demi Vollering 14 seconds faster in the final stage of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes. The difference between heartbreak and history.

WHITE PAPER

Speed Sniffer
The Speed Sniffer head tube is now 4 mm narrower, delivering a 10 percent reduction in frontal area.

Win Fin
The Win Fin channels airflow around the rear for the true aerodynamics of breakaway racing.

Dropped Downtube
We added a drop-down tube that works in tandem with the Speed Sniffer and Flow Fork.

Flow Fork
A breakthrough twisted‑blade design delivers smoother airflow and measurable drag reduction.

S-Works Rapide Post
A deeper, cleaner Aero Post profile reduces drag in the zone most affected by pedaling airflow.

Aero Where it Matters
4 Watts Faster
The Tarmac SL9 is the most aerodynamic road race bike we’ve ever tested. Drawing directly from Tarmac SL8 learnings and decades of aero research, every tube on Tarmac SL9 was re-sculpted for speed at World Tour races.

One with the Bike
Speed everywhere, all day. Telepathic handling, instant response, and sublime compliance unite to make you one with the bike.

Rider First Engineered
Every size from 44cm to 61cm receives the same uncompromising performance.
