Best bike I've ridden!

I'm absolutely loving my tarmac sl7, so pleased I waited for it. It's fast, aero, smooth and comfortable! Thanks

Yes, maybe even upgrade to the Pro

The bike is snappy in the greatest sense of the word. It's agile, fast and wants to go. It climbs like a goat and it was extremely compliant for such a stiff frame. Every line on this rig is just beautiful. I go in the garage more than several times a day just to look at it (when I cannot ride). This is the best road bike I've ever ridden. Overall, it's a rocket that does not beat up this old broken down body. Kudos to Specialized

End of rest days

This bike is too enjoyable to not ride, and it's fast. As a long time Trek rider and racer, I almost bought the 2021 Emonda. Before doing so, I demo'd a SWorks SL6 Tarmac and I knew on the first ride that I'd buy a Tarmac next. When my local Specialized shop told me the SL7 was coming soon, I decided to wait to see it. I bought this SL7 the day it was announced, and upgraded wheels with a barely used set of tubeless Roval CLX50s. The SL6 had amazing ride quality; it seemed to absorb the road. The SL7 is more firm, but it feels faster than the SL6. What I can't get over is how quiet the ride is; the internal cables and aero frame make it silent and make the ride somehow more enjoyable. The disc brakes work much better than rim brakes; they're safer and I'm pushing it in to corners faster. I wasn't sure about electronic shifting, until I rode it. Bottom line, I'm worried I'll never take another rest day; this bike makes riding more fun. I can't wait to race it when that's a thing again. Thank you for an incredible machine Specialized.
