You are already familiar with the S-Works Tarmac SL4. You have spent countless hours looking at the beautiful lines of the frame and the perfect geometry. Have you ever considered what it would look like in all black?

Specialized has built up a limited run of 300 complete bikes with a very custom feel in all black for just that reason. This exclusive bike has minimal graphics which are gloss black over a matte black frame. In fact, it only has a Specialized “S” on the headtube and S-Works on the downtube. The graphics have been removed from the Zipp 404 tubular wheels and the stem and seat post are free of logos as well. This sort of subdued styling looks extremely sophisticated and fast.

The components are the latest from SRAM. The new SRAM Red group is in full effect, straight down to the crankset, which is a noticeable difference from other S-Works models in the line-up. Having the complete group ensures that everything works flawlessly together and once again adding to the custom feel of this particular bike.

The beauty is in the simplicity. This bike is built around performance as paramount and understated black aesthetics to create the “sleeper” attribute. There are no flashy graphics to make this bike seem fast, only amazing technology that truly is fast.

What are your thoughts on Hydraulic brakes for Road Bikes?

From what I have been told......Don't knock them until you have tried them.
