🔥 Why the Specialized Tarmac SL6 Comp Is So Good
The Specialized Tarmac SL6 Comp is a purebred road racing machine—lightweight, stiff, and designed to excel on everything from rolling terrain to lung-busting climbs. With its Rider-First Engineered™ carbon frame, every size delivers the same legendary handling and responsiveness that made the Tarmac a staple in the pro peloton.
This particular bike is a 56cm—ideal for riders around 5'9" to 6'0"—and is equipped with a reliable Shimano Ultegra R8000 groupset, including the upgraded Ultegra crankset, for crisp, reliable shifting and smooth power transfer. Paired with durable Bontrager AW3 28c tires and a complete professional tune-up, this bike is ready for every ride.
Plus, it includes 1 bottle cage for added convenience on your rides.
