"I have had the pleasure of riding a Specialized S-WORKS Tarmac SL4 since spring 2012. After 3 seasons on this road bike, I assure you that I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Well, okay, maybe for another orange and black S-WORKS Tarmac SL4...
The Tarmac frame is extremely stiff and light, making it a very responsive road bike to the various accelerations that can occur during a race. Its lateral stiffness is especially noticeable during sprints and climbing out of the saddle. The frame's stiffness, however, does not compromise comfort during long days on the bike. The bike's handling is incredible on technical descents and in high-speed corners.
My Specialized S-WORKS Tarmac SL4 has successfully passed the "TEST" during my many rides and in competition. If you are a demanding racer or cyclist who loves speed and climbs, this excellent all-around bike is for you!"
