The new SL8 is not aero optimized, it is aero compromised.

I'll rather just buy the Sl8 frame and build it up. I like the Canyon aeroad too but I feel like the Sl8 is better comfort wise especially 60+ mile rides and bike shop support.

The CFR Canyon would be a better comparison, don't you think?

Specialized should offer better paint scheme. There paint look too plain and simple for those prices

CLX is the worst wheelset ive ever used in alpine conditions..getting rid of it was the first and best upgrade i did :D

You know something. I BET YOU they simply change the sign in the UK and make it £9k GBP

I'd buy it if it was the same price as USD, i.e. £7k GBP

[fredericpressel]

imho not the greatest comparison, either compare the cfr model (in terms of pricing) of the latest Aeroad or compare the tarmac with a lighter Ultimate.

[sadverysad]

specialized = over rated & over priced

"not even" sworks and its up now at 9k?!
