News bot Posted July 28, 2020 Share Press releaseThe Tarmac SL7 puts an end to compromise, and racing will never be the same. Climb on the lightest bike the rules allow, sprint on the fastest - all with legendary Tarmac handling. It’s like we combined Julian Alaphilippe’s attacking, climbing style, and Peter Sagan’s aggressive power in a single rider with no weaknesses. The only choice you need to make is when to attack.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrichgg Posted July 28, 2020 Share As aero bikes get closer and closer to the weight limit, this only makes sense as climbing frames that forego aerodynamics will soon be obsolete at the highest level in any case. The Tour de France has been dominated recently by Pinarello and I don't see them constantly switching models from flat to hilly stages. Bianchi also seems ahead of the game in this regard.

Lance Stephenson Posted July 28, 2020 Share OMG, this is what I love about MARKETING, " this bike will save a rider an average of 45sec over 40km". Sounds amazing..........AT WHAT AVERAGE SPEED DO YOU NEED TO RIDE TO GAIN THAT ADVANTAGE? Capricorn, Pusher, Riaan H and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachiever Posted July 28, 2020 Share After this magnificent marketing effort, I'm convinced you cannot buy better (comic sans...). Aero, stiff and light!!! So I wonder, what will the marketing angle be when they launch the Tarmac SL8? ChrisF, Long Wheel Base and paul goddard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted July 28, 2020 Share Specialized,Trek,BMC and ORBEA all look the same.At least Trek offers custom colours to make your ride special. Weighed a 2021 Trek Emonda SLR9 in the week and it came in at 6.2kg for a 54cm frame with cages.Going to be interesting to see where the Tarmac price is compared to the 10k euro Trek.
