Whether you're chasing a personal best on the Myra Canyon road approach or lining up for a local gran fondo, the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 is built to get you there faster. This is Specialized's flagship road racer — a FACT 12r carbon frame engineered from the ground up around real-world speed, not just wind-tunnel numbers, and specced here with a full SRAM RED AXS E1 wireless groupset for race-day precision.

 

 

KEY FEATURES

Fork: S-Works FACT 12r carbon, twisted-blade "Flow Fork" design, 12x100mm thru-axle, flat-mount disc

Drivetrain: SRAM RED AXS E1, 12-speed wireless electronic shifting, 50/37t chainrings with integrated Quarq power meter

Brakes: SRAM RED E1 hydraulic disc, 160/160mm rotors

Cockpit: Roval Rapide integrated one-piece carbon bar/stem for a clean, aero front end, wrapped in Supacaz Super Sticky Kush tape

Weight: 6.6kg (14lb 8.8oz), size 56 — one of the lightest race bikes we carry

Standout feature: S-Works Rapide carbon seatpost with 15mm offset, purpose-built to work with the frame's aero profile while smoothing out road chatter

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This is a bike for the rider who's already comfortable putting in serious kilometres and wants every gram and every watt working in their favour — think competitive club racers, gran fondo regulars, and anyone training with power on the valley's road routes. It rewards a rider who wants wireless SRAM RED shifting, an integrated power meter, and a sub-6.6kg build, not someone looking for their first road bike.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

HOW TO SET UP

As a Specialized dealer, our team can help you dial in contact points that matter most on a race bike like this — saddle height, reach to the integrated Roval Rapide bar, and cleat alignment for your pedal system. We'll also set correct tyre pressure for the 30c Cotton TLR tyres based on your weight and the roads you're riding, and pair the Quarq power meter to your head unit before you leave the shop. Because the cockpit and seatpost are fully integrated to the frame, we'll make sure fit adjustments are done right the first time. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

FAQ

 
Q: What size Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 do I need?
The Tarmac SL9 is available across a wide size range from 44cm to 61cm, and sizing is based on your height, inseam, and riding position rather than a simple S/M/L chart. Check the geometry chart linked above for reach and stack figures, or come into either Fresh Air location for in-person fit advice.

Q: Is the S-Works Tarmac SL9 right for riding the Okanagan valley's road routes?
Absolutely — this is a bike built for exactly that kind of riding. With its light 6.6kg build and race-tuned geometry, it's an excellent match for long valley loops, climbing tempo work, and approach rides toward Myra Canyon.

Q: What groupset is on the Tarmac SL9 and is it upgradeable?
This build comes with a full SRAM RED AXS E1 wireless electronic groupset, including an integrated Quarq power meter — SRAM's top-tier road groupset. As with any high-end build, individual components can be swapped, but the SL9's integrated cockpit and seatpost mean some upgrades are best discussed with our team first.
