Offering an unprecedented combination of comfort, efficiency, and nimble handling, the Sirrus X excels on pavement, dirt, and any terrain in between. SMOOTH, COMFORTABLE, AND EFFICIENT: Sirrus X provides the smoothest ride in its class. With bigger, confidence-inspiring tires, a slightly more upright riding position, and a super intuitive one-by drivetrain. RIDER-FIRST ENGINEERED: Like all Specialized performance bikes, the geometry of each frame is uniquely crafted. This means that for every frame, each tube size is specifically selected to achieve the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness to ensure that no matter what size you’re riding, you will experience the world’s best ride. NIMBLE: Class-leading light-weight, exceptional pedaling efficiency, and steering precision merge for confident, nearly telepathic handling characteristics. - Lightweight A1 Alloy frame with clean internal cable routing, 3.5lbs (1.7kg) lighter than our Crosstrail Hydro model. - Maximum control through intuitive shifting with 1x7 wide range gearing, and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. - Float over rough terrain with fast rolling Specialized Pathfinder 42c tires featuring proprietary Gripton rubber compound.

The new Tarmac is designed to go fast, there's no if's, and's, or but's about that—but it represents so much more than just aerodynamic prowess. With a light-weight, Rider-First Engineered frame, it delivers the best-possible ride characteristics, no matter the size. So no matter what you have planned for your new Tarmac, it's ready to help you achieve your goals—PRs, KOMs, or podium top-steps. One bike to rule them all. With a full Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic groupset to keep shifts crisp and fast, and S-Works Turbo 700x26mm tires to keep you rolling fast, this new Tarmac delivers performance at a more palatable price point. - "Aero is everything"—we've been preaching it for years and it's still the driving force for the new Tarmac. In our quest for tube shapes that deliver the fastest frame that the UCI rules allow, we took a page out of the Venge development book and utilized our FreeFoil Shape Library. Armed with a library of optimized shapes, we turned to the Win Tunnel to plug these shapes into a modular test bike, for more testing and validation. The result? A new Tarmac Expert that's faster than before—33 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. No compromises, just pure speed. - Building on the learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac utilizes simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that's easy to live with. We've improved the routing for any configuration—mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc.—all while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. It's a win-win. - Continuing our quest to develop the perfect race bike, we used our Rider-First Engineered philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yet—no matter the size. With an army of the world's best test riders from our three World Tour Teams—Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe—we made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometers on the road. We balanced the ride quality between the front and rear end, so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortable'all without giving up anything to the Tarmac's legendary handling and race-winning snappiness. - While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac's development, and to the development of all of our race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously "aero bikes" always compromised in the weight department—the more drag you reduced, the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. And with the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry, we delivered a frame that weighs a mere 920 grams, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality.

The Stigmata blurs the lines between free-roading drop bar singletrack slicer and buckled down race-winning gravel machine. It’s designed for the rider lining up for The Big Event, escaping via the road less traveled or who can’t help themselves from finding the hardest way there. Whether your style is baggy or zipped up, the Stigmata is the fast and loose riding partner that’s always ready to rise to the occasion. GRAVITATING TO GRAVEL The Stigmata is an off-road speed bike (think swift, not Zwift). Its singletrack prowess stems from progressive geometry, plenty of room for big tires, and insights from our mountain bikes. It’s the roadie’s off-roader, perfect for exploring wild routes, and also ideal for mountain bikers seeking adventure off the beaten path. GO FAR TO GET FOUND If wanderlust has taken hold, grab a Stigmata. Whether you're close to home or exploring far-off lands, its design and features ensure you can go the distance. Whether you’re seeking the spirit of gravel or planning a quick overnight mission with only a credit card, the Stigmata is your ultimate getaway vehicle. LIGHT, FAST, AND MORE METTLE When lining up at a gravel race, you need a bike that lifts you. It should have geometry that’s fast in the pack yet stable when you're deep in the hurt locker. A lightweight frame ensures you’re making watts, not carrying extra grams, and ample tire clearance prevents you from hauling an extra 10 lbs of Kansas clay.

PRAISE THE LIGHT. Orca isn’t just light. It is 6.7kg of climbing technology designed to change how you reach the top. The feeling of a bike this light and efficient is unbeatable, and this instant acceleration, vibration absorption and responsive handling come from a frame which knows where it needs to be light and where it needs to be stiff. Welcome the ultimate climbing machine! DOMINATE THE CLIMBS Achieving Orca´s light weight required many marginal gains, focusing on the details and using the best materials across the range. Considering the bike as a package means working with component and wheel designers right from the start to optimize stiffness and weight. RIGID IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES But having the lightest bike is worth nothing if it isn’t stiff and efficient. When we designed Orca, we started with a target rigidity to ensure that even the strongest climbers could be sure of efficient power transmission. Then we designed Orca to be as light as possible without compromising that number. THE FEEL OF FREEDOM There is indeed just something special about the feel of a lightweight bike. We love the instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns. NO TRADE-OFFS Our clever frame design means that stiff doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Rounder frame sections help reduce vibrations, saving energy on longer rides and offering you an advantage on that final climb. Wider clearance allows for tires of up to 32mm- maximising traction and compliance. PERFORMANCE DESIGN Orca is built on our understanding of performance and design, reflecting our belief that bikes should look great and ride better. Orca’s minimal, timeless lines give it its distinctive style and cover some very modern technology.

Performance, technology and style have always been cornerstones of cycling. We may not compete but we love the feel of a racing bike – an Orca that is light, fast and beautiful. Professional athletes, weekend warriors, Strava hunters and recreational riders all have similar aspirations – we love the machine as much as the lifestyle.
