Specialized reserves its best for the fabled S-Works top-tier models, with the highest grade of carbon fibre used and the best components, picked to create what is in anyone's world, a superbike. You can read all about the tech details here and watch an unboxing of the top-end S-Works Tarmac here. That disparity clearly shows where the firm believes the market is going for modern road race bikes. Most of the top racers are still preferring rim brake bikes but Specialized is offering just three rim brake models in the UK, a slim range compared to the depth in the disc brake Tarmac line-up. The Tarmac has long been Specialized’s go-to race bike, favoured by its many sponsorship professional cyclists and amateur racers alike. Specialized has also changed the naming convention, so the bike that replaces the Tarmac Comp Disc is the Tarmac Disc Comp. Visually, the new bikes can be distinguished from the old ones by their dropped seatstays.
The new models fill out a range of SL6-based Tarmac Disc bikes and replace the previous SL5 Tarmac Disc models. The Tarmac SL6 was the big noise for 2018, and shortly after the rim-braked version debuted a disc-braked bike was introduced, first with an S-Works only version but very soon more affordable models followed. This is the 6th generation Tarmac SL and is available with a choice of rim or disc brakes. You can see a list of the full range with prices here.
