Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport (Gloss Ion metallic/Sea foam)
90625-6252
The same Rider-First Engineered carbon race frame Specialized's WorldTour riders use, built with a dependable mechanical groupset and race-ready tires — no compromise on the platform, just the spec.
Overview
The Tarmac SL7 Sport shares its FACT 9r Carbon frame with every other Tarmac SL7 in the range — the same Rider-First Engineered and Wind Tunnel Engineered platform, developed using isotropic FEA analysis and the FreeFoil Shape Library to hit a frame weight around 1,010g without giving up aero, stiffness or ride quality.
This build pairs that frame with a full Shimano 105 12-speed mechanical disc groupset and Specialized's own Turbo Pro tires on DT R470 disc wheels — genuine race-day performance at a more accessible price point than Specialized's higher SL7 tiers.
It's a bike for riders who want the exact same frame platform that wins WorldTour races, without paying for an electronic groupset or premium wheelset on day one.
Why You'll Like It
The real Tarmac SL7 frame, not a lesser version
FACT 9r Carbon with Rider-First Engineering — the same platform used throughout the SL7 range, just built with different components.
Shimano 105, mechanical and dependable
A full 12-speed mechanical disc groupset with a wide-range 11-34T cassette, easy field servicing, and parts availability almost anywhere.
Race-ready tires from the start
Specialized's own Turbo Pro tires on DT R470 disc wheels are genuinely race-capable, not placeholder rubber to be replaced immediately.
Threaded bottom bracket
A threaded BSA bottom bracket avoids the creaking issues sometimes associated with press-fit designs, for lower-maintenance long-term ownership.
Clean, fully integrated cockpit
The Tarmac integrated stem and internal routing keep the front end aero and tidy without complicating basic maintenance.
Who Is It For?
This build suits riders who want the genuine Tarmac SL7 race platform — the frame that's actually raced at the top level — without committing to an electronic groupset from day one. It's a strong first serious race bike for club racers and competitive club riders, and a natural upgrade path since the frame itself never needs replacing as your groupset and wheel choices evolve.
In India, the threaded bottom bracket is a genuine practical advantage — easier and cheaper to service locally than a press-fit design, with less risk of the creaking issues press-fit BBs can develop in humid conditions.
Good to Know
Have your BOTS fitter confirm size against Specialized's Tarmac SL7 size chart before ordering — this is a genuine race geometry and runs more aggressive than an endurance frame of the same nominal size. A first service after the bedding-in period keeps shifting crisp on the mechanical groupset. Because the frame is identical across the SL7 range, a future groupset or wheel upgrade is a straightforward swap rather than a full bike change.
