Specialized Tarmac SL9 Comp Rival AXS Road Bike

Engineered to turn every watt of effort into pure velocity, the Specialized Tarmac SL9 Comp Rival AXS Road Bike offers serious racers an unmatched edge on real-world courses. Constructed around a Rider-First Engineered FACT 10r carbon frame and optimized in the wind tunnel, this performance machine minimizes drag while preserving lightweight climbing agility. Weighing in at a competitive 8.14 kilograms, it responds instantly to accelerations and provides surgical cornering accuracy, ensuring you expend less energy to reach the finish line first.

Intuitive Wireless Shifting and Total Control

Drivetrain duties are handled by the 12-speed SRAM Rival AXS E1 wireless electronic groupset, delivering immediate, precise shifts with clean cable-free integration. Paired with SRAM Rival E1 hydraulic disc brakes, riders gain confidence-inspiring modulation and stopping power on technical descents and in wet conditions. The bike rolls on dependable DT Swiss R470 tubeless-ready rims fitted with supple 700x30 S-Works Turbo tyres, guaranteeing low rolling resistance and high-traction stability across uneven road surfaces.

Ergonomic Cockpit and Compliance

The front end integrates an aerodynamic Roval Rapide alloy stem with Specialized Shallow Drop handlebars, allowing easy positioning adjustments for optimum comfort and power output. Endurance comfort is maximized by the pressure-relieving Body Geometry Power Comp saddle, supported by an vibration-damping S-Works carbon seatpost to smooth out road buzz over long distances. Complete with high-grip Supacaz handlebar tape, this model gives third-party buyers a race-ready setup packed with modern wireless technology and proven speed.

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.
