Whether you're putting in long miles on the Okanagan valley's road routes or tuning up for a local gran fondo, the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL9 is built to turn that effort into speed. This is Specialized's flagship road racer — a FACT 12r carbon frame engineered around real-world race performance, not just wind-tunnel claims — specced here with a full Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed electronic groupset for crisp, precise shifting.

WHO IS THIS FOR? |
This is a bike for the rider already logging serious training kilometres who wants electronic shifting precision, an integrated power meter, and a sub-6.6kg build — think competitive club racers, gran fondo regulars, and anyone who prefers Shimano's shift feel over SRAM's wireless system. It's built for someone dialled into their training data and racing goals, not a 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 set up the 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 set correct tyre pressure for the 30c Cotton TLR tyres based on your weight and the roads you're riding, and pair the 4iiii power meter to your head unit and confirm Di2 firmware is current 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. |
