Key highlights
Every frame size gets its own carbon layup for a consistent, tuned ride quality across the range.
A revised fork shape and dropped seatstays make the SL6 roughly 30 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL5, with no compromise on weight.
Reliable mechanical shifting paired with hydraulic disc brakes for confident, all-weather stopping power.
Developed from Retül fit data and professional rider input for a responsive front end, short wheelbase, and efficient power transfer.
