TARMAC SL8
Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it’s more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it’s the world’s fastest race bike.
Aerodynamics or lightweight alone don’t win races - speed is what matters. Delivering that speed requires creating an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and compliance.
SHIV TT DISC
Specialized has made a bike as aerodynamic as the original Shiv, the fastest TT bike ever made, then made it 500 grams lighter and handle like a Venge.
- Still the most aerodynamic bike ever tested in the Win Tunnel.
- Light, agile, responsive, and now 500 grams lighter than the previous Shiv TT.
- Stable and light one-piece bar with easy-to-adjust extensions.
S-WORKS EVADE 3
The most aero road helmet in the peloton now breathes better. The S-Works Evade 3 was reinvented from the inside out to cool better, making it the fastest choice for more stages.
Through extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics and Win Tunnel testing, Specialized created a rear “diffuser” that helps minimize drag and improve ventilation. The diffuser helps optimize aero performance by allowing air to release easier and improves ventilation by drawing 10% more air through the helmet at a given speed.The Occipital Base Adjustment optimizes comfort by personalizing fit to individual head shape and helmet angle can be adjusted for compatibility with glasses.
S-WORKS PREVAIL 3
The S-Works Prevail 3 helmet is perfect for riders who value the comfort and thermoregulation benefits that superior ventilation delivers. It is the ultimate all-around helmet that excels in hot conditions, strenuous climbs, and mountainous stages
With a never-ending quest to push the limits of ventilation, Specialized eliminated air-blocking foam “bridges” from the center, effectively creating thru-air channels that increase the surface area of ventilation by 24.5% compared to the S-Works Prevail II Vent helmet. The all-new S-Works Prevail 3 has the most ventilation area of any helmet we have ever made.
S-Works TT 5
Using CFD modeling, the Specialized helmet team reshaped the TT helmet, positioning the rear of the helmet to be nearer the rider’s shoulders, reducing the eddy of air that creates drag. The S-Works TT 5 helmet is an excellent example of the Made In Racing approach. Remco Evenepoel and Kasper Asgreen logged countless hours in our Win Tunnel until we arrived at the fastest TT helmet we have ever made.
Roval Wheels and Components
Fast, light, strong, these are three words rarely seen together with carbon components but easily applied to the Alpinist and Rapide wheels and Rapide Cockpits our teams race all season long. Not only do the tubeless wheels set records on the test bench for impact standards, they win Grand Tours and World Championships. Our riders know they have the fastest wheels and components for the job.
S-WORKS POWER SADDLE WITH MIRROR TECHNOLOGY
Cutting edge technology meets Body Geometry design. This is the most advanced saddle ever made, like carbon replaced steel in bike manufacturing, our Mirror saddles printed from liquid polymer will replace foam in saddles.
S-Works Romin EVO with Mirror
Our pro-favorite S-Works Romin EVO with Mirror saddle is designed to deliver exceptional comfort and ensure blood flow to soft tissue when riding in a low, aero position. By replacing foam with our Mirror technology, the sit bone pressure is also reduced up to 26%. Specialized developed Mirror technology by 3D printing from a liquid polymer to perfectly reflect your anatomy. This revolutionary process creates a complex honeycomb structure that allows us to infinitely tune the material’s density in a way impossible with foam. The Body Geometry ergonomic supportive cut-out is designed to maximize blood flow, while the unique saddle shape allows you to maintain comfort, even in a competitive, aerodynamic position.
S-WORKS ARES
ONE SECOND MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
S-Works Ares is designed to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made. Decades of Body Geometry development met obsessive innovation to reimagine the race shoe. It’s 1% faster than any shoe Specialized has ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
- Patent-pending closure design secures the foot for extreme, out-of-saddle efforts, locking the metatarsals and preventing lateral roll. Lock in and power up for more speed.
- Body Geometry shoes win more world tour races than any other shoe on the planet. The key technology that helps create this performance is the Varus Wedge, a patented 1.5mm outward tilt to the outsole that stabilizes the forefoot and helps align the ankle, the knee, and hip to deliver more power, fewer injuries, and more comfort.
- S-Works Ares features World Championship-winning FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole with a stiffness index of 15.0.
S-Works Torch
The S-Works Torch is scientifically crafted to disappear on your feet and off the front. Leveraging data science, Specialized refined every detail of the S-Works Torch’s upper for improved fit and performance. The BOA® cable is shifted down and angled, preventing lift on the ball of the foot and delivering power-enhancing structure while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural movement of the foot where needed for comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot secured for crisp power delivery and optimal efficiency.
Guided by more than 100,000 foot scans from our RETÜL fit data, Specialized recognized that both a standard and a wide carbon base plate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal I-Beam adds stiffness and strength, eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is a 20-gram weight reduction, enhanced efficiency, and immediate power transfer.
Oakley
Oakley’s iconic eyewear – sported by our riders during some of the toughest conditions an athlete can face – is known for its High Definition Optics®, which features unparalleled optical clarity and precision along with impact resistance, which can prove crucial when moving through a congested and hectic peloton during the Tour de France, or fighting for position ahead of one of Paris-Roubaix’s brutal pavé sectors.
In addition to this, Oakley’s PRIZM™ Lens Technology is a revolution in lens optics built on decades of colour science research. Prizm™ lenses provide unprecedented control of light transmission resulting in colours precisely tuned to maximize contrast and enhance visibility, making it easier for our riders to spot hazards such as potholes or debris in the road, or choosing the perfect line during a fast run-in to the finish.
Tacx NEO 2T
The Tacx NEO 2T is an evolution of the iconic NEO trainer and used by cyclists from across the spectrum. The motor is redesigned in order to provide a better indoor cycling experience and ride feel, especially during climbs and sprints. Features like pedal stroke analysis, road feel and dynamic inertia help our riders perform at their best, whether it be warming up for an important time trial, or replicate efforts during a hard indoor training session.
Tacx trainers also offer precise analytics and feedback, giving our riders up-to-date and extremely precise performance metrics, allowing them to tailor each session to help maximise performance. The NEO 2T Smart is without question the most powerful, quiet, realistic and accurate bike trainer to date.
