From Saturday, the riders of the Red Bull BORA Hansgrohe team will ride on this Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 with specific decoration.
As is now customary, the American brand is offering everyone the opportunity to buy the same bike as the team, in a limited edition of 500 units worldwide. Of course, you will have to have the means, since this version is offered at 17,000 euros, a price explained by its extraordinary equipment!
The bike features a graphic – called “Sticker Slap” – designed by Tom Briggs, Specialized’s Lead Concept Graphic Designer.
Tom Briggs, lead concept designer:
The design is inspired by youth culture and the aesthetic of 90s skateboarding. The grouping of logos on the boards in sticker form shows authenticity and connection to something counter-culture. The “sticker slap” look creates a dynamic visual that represents the team’s identity and how they see themselves as part of a larger cycling culture. It’s a new look, a new day for the peloton, and Specialized is creating something unique in a world that too often looks the same.
The unstoppable performance of the Tarmac SL8 meets Roval’s Rapide CLX II Team wheels, the Rapide cockpit with the new SRAM RED AXS groupset, and the S-Works Power saddle with Mirror, up to the Turbo Cotton tires for race days and a Custom meter stand with the latest Hammerhead.
Only 500 individually numbered bikes will be produced.
The price of this LTD bike has increased by 2500 euros compared to the SW Tarmac SL8. This increase is due to the fact that it is equipped with the new Rapide CLX Team wheels, a Hammerhead Karoo 3 computer, a CeramicSpeed headset, a CeramicSpeed bottom bracket, a K-Edge bracket and paint and parts LTD.
