Specialized Tarmac SL4 Bora Team Replica Road Bike 2018

Specialized Tarmac SL4 Bora Team Replica Road Bike 2018

On club rides, local races and alpine adventures, the Specialized Tarmac SL4 Bora Team Replica Road Bike is ready to take on any challenge you throw at it.

Utilising Specialized's Grand-Tour winning, size specific geometry and a FACT 9r carbon fibre construction, this bike has racing in its blood. The high-grade carbon ensures the frame weight is kept to a minimum, whilst comfort and performance are increased through the carbons damping properties, absorbing unwanted road feedback and remaining stiff under load. Combine this with the matching Specialized FACT carbon, full monocoque fork and Comp carbon seatpost, and you truly have a responsive, race ready machine at a price point far lower than its exceptional performance would suggest.

Shifting is taken care of by Shimano's highly regarded Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain, offering crisp and reliable gear changes every-time, while the Tektro Axis brakes ensure the responsive, controlled braking qualities required for racing and technical steep descents. The 50/34T Praxis Works chainrings and 12-28t cassette provide a wide gear range, equally as capable of spinning up a long, gruelling alpine climb as it is sprinting out of a corner mid crit race.

The bike has been finished with a host of durable, robust components, helping ensure reliable performance all year round. The DT Swiss R460 wheelset utilises a low rim profile for stability in crosswinds, whilst the sealed cartridge bearings keep the grit and grime on the outside, for low rolling resistance in all conditions. Similarly, the Espoir Elite tyres have a kevlar® bead to increase their puncture resistance, ensuring you spend less time at the roadside and more time enjoying yourself.
