Description
The S-Works Tarmac SL9 is officially available for purchase!
The S-Works Tarmac SL9 frame, weighing 687 grams, holds a leading position in the category of aerodynamic road bikes. The weight of the finished bikes starts at 6.5 kg, a figure that competitors can only dream of. While they're unraveling the secrets of the previous generation, Specialized has rolled out a completely new mathematical equation of speed.
What lies behind this insane weight figure and why is the SL9 a technological masterpiece?
• The Flow State Design method (legacy of Aethos):
The main principle of the new frame is that the load should be borne by the shape of the pipes themselves, not by excess material. By studying the behavior of the carbon frame at the micro level, engineers have identified the exact patterns of deformations. This entire colossal array of data was processed by a Specialized supercomputer. The result is perfect pipe profiles, which made it possible to remove all unnecessary, non—working layers of carbon fiber without loss of rigidity.
• Performance model from Formula 1:
The Tarmac SL9 was developed based on a rigorous mathematical equation of speed that determines the real time of the route.
In high-performance motorsport, winning teams do not focus on optimizing any one indicator in isolation. An F1 car is not created just to be the "most powerful" or "lightest" on its own — it is customized to demonstrate the best lap time on a particular track. The SL9 was designed in the same way: each physical variable was measured separately, after which they were synergetically combined into a common rider-bike model.
And all this is just the tip of the engineering iceberg hiding behind the creation of the latest S-Works Tarmac SL9.
