S-Works Tarmac SL7 Frameset - FACT 12r Carbon

The new Tarmac represents a breakthrough in race bike design, combining aerodynamic efficiency with lightweight construction without compromise. Climb on the lightest bike the UCI allows, then descend on the fastest. This frameset is the perfect canvas to begin your dream build and create a totally custom race bike ready to deliver speed. Aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac's development. Using the FreeFoil Shape Library and extensive wind tunnel testing, the new Tarmac is 45 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. The frame achieves this speed through optimized tube shapes validated in the Win Tunnel, delivering the fastest frame the UCI rules allow. Weight was the co-pilot on this race bike journey. The frame weighs a mere 800 grams while maintaining the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics, stiffness, or ride quality. This was achieved through isotopic FEA analysis and advanced engineering, eliminating the traditional compromise between aero and lightweight design. The Rider-First Engineered philosophy ensures the Tarmac is the most balanced and best-handling version yet across all sizes. Input from world-class test riders from professional teams including TotalEnergies, SD-Worx, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, and Bora-hansgrohe informed thousands of kilometers of development. The frame balances ride quality between front and rear for comfort on long rides while maintaining legendary handling and race-winning snappiness. Simple integration creates a clean, fast cockpit that's easy to live with. The improved routing accommodates any configuration—mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars—while preserving aerodynamic attributes. These same traits make the Tarmac easy to work on and travel with.
