Specialized S-Level Tarmac SL9 Red AXS Road Bike

Engineered to deliver unmatched speed where it matters most, the Specialized S-Level Tarmac SL9 Red AXS Road Bike transforms every watt of rider input into pure forward momentum. Validated on real race courses and built around a Rider-First Engineered carbon frame, this ultimate road racing machine strikes an ideal balance between lightweight climbing capability and wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamics. At just 7.1 kilograms, it reduces energy expenditure on harsh climbs while delivering razor-sharp handling on technical descents, ensuring you cross the finish line with maximum efficiency and speed.

Race-Ready Precision and Performance

Every component on this build is curated to give competitive cyclists an undeniable advantage on race day. The full SRAM RED AXS E1 wireless drivetrain provides instant, flawless shifting under heavy loads, complemented by an integrated Quarq power meter to monitor effort with pinpoint accuracy. Rolling on Roval Rapide CL III carbon tubeless wheels and high-traction Cotton TLR tyres, the bike tracks with exceptional stability through fast corners. Powerful SRAM RED E1 hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent stopping power in all weather conditions, letting riders carry speed deeper into turns with absolute confidence.

Integrated Cockpit and Ergonomic Comfort

Aerodynamic efficiency meets all-day riding comfort through the seamlessly integrated Roval Rapide Cockpit, which hides cables from the wind while offering an ultra-responsive steering feel. Comfort is further enhanced by the Power Pro Mirror saddle featuring 3D-printed technology and hollow titanium rails, designed to relieve pressure during long breakaway efforts. Finished with a compliant S-Works carbon seatpost and high-grip Supacaz handlebar tape, this complete package provides third-party buyers with a top-tier, race-proven road bike built to dominate local crits, gran fondos, and high-tempo group rides.

About Specialized

Innovate or die.

Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.

The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
