Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road test review Build quality

The Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 has a relatively high cost, but not even that much, given some competitors.

Very well made, no criticisms can be made, except for the limited color range, but otherwise everything is done well and even better than other competitors.

The value for money is not the best ever, but we can say that there are those who do much worse.

 

 

 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road Test Review Frame

It has been a certainty for years, a staple of Specialized.

Rumors abound about a future SL8, but still today the SL7 version is absolutely competitive.

Good availability of sizes.

In the end, with around 7,000 Euros, you can take home a nice racing bike.

There is no shortage of cheaper alternatives with the same performance, but there are also more expensive bicycles with the same performance.

In conclusion, a nice frame, valid and still competitive today.

 

 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road Test Assemblies Review

The Shimano Ultegra Di2 assembly is well compared to the overall average standard of the bicycle.

The carbon wheels and the rest of the components are good.

The Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 bike thus assembled weighs approximately 7.3 kg.

Normal price-weight ratio, as always said you pay for the brand, the assistance and also the easy resale on the second-hand market.

 

 

 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road test Comfort review

Discreet, it is not the Specialized bicycle born to be comfortable, but among racing bikes it is among the best in this respect.

It should be noted that a comparison with the lighter S-Works, the Expert model is more comfortable, certainly the heavier frame and the different carbon affect this aspect.

 

 

 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road Test Review Guide

Time passes, but the Specialized Tarmac remains a point of reference for its riding balance, riding ease, riding safety.

These aspects do not change with the different assemblies and with the different versions.

The Expert version even drives even better than the S-Works, because it is less nervous, more stable, steadier at high speeds and on bumpy roads.

Good handling.

Very valid and good performance on the plains and hills, the weight uphill is barely noticeable.

A very stiff frame, however, perfect for powerful athletes.

The brakes are more than excellent, nothing to add.

 

 

 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road test review Performance

It is a racing bicycle that is still very competitive on any type of route.

It has no real weakness.

It is not very light, but very rigid frame.

You need legs and power to take advantage of its stiffness.

On the plains and hills it goes as fast as the S-Works or almost, it only loses on the hard climbs.

It remains a competitive racing bike, expensive, but not that much.

It remains an all-round competitive bicycle on any type of route, in fact wasted for an amateur who will never be able to exploit all the rigidity of its frame.

 

 


 

Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 Road test review Pros and cons

The Specialized Tarmac SL7 Expert 2023 proves to be an excellent racing bike, not very light, not cheap, but with excellent performance in its price range.

In some respects it is even better than the much more expensive S-Works, more comfortable, more stable, safer at high speeds.

It's not a hard-climbing race bike, but it is an all-around race bike.

The price is its real flaw, but in the end not even that much, even if it is placed in the high price range of the category.
