Product Details

Whether it's winning the Tour de France or a local crit, the next generation of Tarmac— the SL4—was born to race, with head-snapping acceleration and razor-sharp handling. The Pro model has even higher stiffness-to-weight than last year's industry-leading SL3 frame, with race-proven Dura-Ace components and Roval Fusée SL wheels for ultra light performance.

Ride like the pros on the new SL4 FACT IS 10r carbon frame with uniqely shaped, tapered head tube and OSBB: now even stiffer and lighter for pure, unbridled speed and power
Full monocoque FACT carbon fork with a tapered carbon steerer is super light with great torsional rigidity for high-speed handling
Roval Fusee SL wheelset combines our super-light alloy rims with aero features for a fast and compliant ride for everyday training and racing
Specialized Pro FACT carbon crankset with oversized BB and removable spider has outstanding strength-to-weight ratio for superior efficiency and power transfer plus Shimano 10-speed group for precise, quiet shifting
1-1/8" to 1-3/8" steel headset with Cr-Mo cartridge bearings is low-maintenance, smooth, and durable, plus 8mm carbon cone and 20mm of carbon spacers
Pro FACT carbon seatpost is super light and stiff for optimal power transfer during all-out seated efforts
Adjustable four-position oversized alloy stem with 31.8mm bar clamp for strength and versatile positioning
Body Geometry Romin Expert saddle with hollow Ti rails is built for racing fast with a contoured profile that keeps the rider in an optimal power-transfer position
