2016 Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL5 Carbon Road Bike (Used – 58cm)

Elevate your riding experience with this sleek 2016 Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL5 Carbon Road Bike—perfect for intermediate to advanced cyclists seeking precision and performance on paved routes or group rides. Designed for speed and control, this compact geometry bike balances agility with stability, making it ideal for long-distance training or competitive scenarios where efficiency matters most.

Key Features:
FACT 11r Carbon Frame: Lightweight at just 4.5lbs (excluding components), offering exceptional power transfer and compliance for smooth descents.
Shimano Ultegra Components: Reliable shifting and braking with rim brakes for precise control on varied surfaces.
S-Works FACT Carbon Fork: Dampens vibrations while maintaining responsiveness on rough roads.
Optimized Geometry: 560mm top tube (effective 582mm) provides an aggressive yet comfortable riding position for competitive riders.

Technical Specifications:
Frame Size: 58cm (seat tube c-t: 522mm; top tube c-c: 560mm)
Wheel Size: 700c
Bottom Bracket: BB30 compatible alloy OSBB
Weight: 4.5lbs (frame + fork)

Condition & Maintenance:
This bike shows minimal wear consistent with careful ownership—minor cosmetic chips on chainstays and fork legs are noted but do not affect structural integrity. The headset bearings are functional but may require replacement soon; we recommend upgrading to ensure long-term durability. Perfect for riders looking to refresh their setup without breaking the bank on new equipment.

Fit & Use Cases:
Ideal for riders between 5’10″–6’2″ seeking a race-ready platform for training rides or club events. Its lightweight design and refined handling make it a favorite for fast-paced group rides or exploring scenic routes where every gram counts.
