Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 FACT 12r Carbon Frame

Specialized's Fastest Road Frame Ever Made

The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 Frame represents the pinnacle of innovation in road cycling. Designed for professionals and competitive riders seeking the best balance of lightness, aerodynamics, and ride quality, it is the most advanced frame ever developed by Specialized.

Weighing just 687 grams, the S-Works Tarmac SL9 FACT 12r carbon frame offers uncompromising performance, converting every watt expressed by the rider into real speed. It's not just the lightest or most aerodynamic frame: it's the one that delivers the fastest road times, thanks to development through testing with professional cyclists, real race courses, and sophisticated aerodynamic simulations.

Rider First Engineered® technology ensures the same ride quality across every frame size, while the Win Tunnel Engineered project optimizes every surface to minimize aerodynamic drag.

It's the same frame used by champions like Remco Evenepoel and the Red Bull – BORA – Hansgrohe team, a synonym for WorldTour level performance.
