Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL4 Nibali Frameset (2014)

With its race-optimized, FACT carbon frame, efficient handling, and increased 19% stiffness-to-weight ratio over the previous Tour de France-winning version, the Tarmac SL4 has plenty of Pro-Tour proven speed up its sleeve. Simply put: nothing is lighter and stiffer. That’s why it’s the go-to choice of the pro peloton. Ride it hard, ride it fast, just wind yourself up and go.

Italian superstar Vincenzo Nibali is one of the most exciting stage racers in the peloton. With increasing success in the most difficult races in the world, the new Specialized partnership will help deliver Nibali to the podium aboard his personal Tarmac SL4 in the 2013 race season. Inspiration for his S-Works Tarmac SL4 comes from the region of his birthplace - the Strait of Messina, located between Italy and Sicily. The frameset is adorned with a shark, representing his nickname.
