2022 Specialized Tarmac SL7 - First Ride #cycling #specialized

Going for my first ride on the 2022 Specialized Tarmac SL7 and giving you my initial reactions comparing it with my Specialized Aethos. #cycling #specialized #tarmacsl7

Phenomenal bike. The Tarmac's ability to maintain top end speed is what I believe to be the main factor setting it above the Aethos. No joke, about to drive 9 hours... through three states to buy one. Northern California... to Arizona.

Nice ride! I have an SL6 and really enjoy mine. It’s almost an effortless ride.

Can't wait to see you do some side by side comparisons of these two models!

Enjoying the updates. Which upgrades would you consider essential? My SL7 Comp is still bone stock but considering upgrades down the line.

In a futur video could you show the handlebars in more detail? The way the hoods doesn’t wrap well around the bars with the new rival seems really weird but I haven’t seen any close up shot of this. Anyway, good video, also enjoying sunny fallsdays here in France at the moment.

Which one would you take on a route like Canmore-Lake Louise (160km) ? Which one will you take more often to ride your usual routes in the foothills? How much lighter does the Aethos feel?

Thanks for the videos. How tall are you please. Im right between sizes and it's the 58 with 30mm spacers or the 61 less spacers but would need a 100mm stem. Both her me within a couple of mil of my bike fit. I think I'm leaning towards the 58.

What tires are you using? Is it tubeless?
