Holy head tube!!! Is this the new Specialized Tarmac SL8 or a revamped Roubaix? New road bike leaked with unique oversized head tube... cycling
before this year's Tour de France, but we'd now expect to see an official release prior to Remco Evenepoel's bid to win either the World Championship road race in Glasgow or a second Vuelta a España. It seems that his teammates might have given the game away prematurely though, as these leaked images appear to show a new Specialized road bike that is certainly different to anything we've seen previously.
Since Specialized killed off the Venge in 2021, the Tarmac SL7 is typically promoted as Specialized's 'one bike to do it all'. On this new bike we can see that Kamm tail tubing has been used throughout. This suggests aerodynamics have clearly been a consideration. The front end is where we can the biggest difference to the SL7, and in particular the bulbous headtube. This appears to follow a similar design philosophy to the latest 3T Strada. 3T says of this bike: "You'll see the headtube is deeper and with a full aero"nose", taking full advantage of the new UCI rules."
On closer inspection, we also noticed a white stripe around the tyres. None of the tyres in the current Specialized range currently have this.
