      I'm in the same boat..I had the SL6 SW tarmac, and two SL7 SW tarmacs, & now I own the new trek madone SLR gen7..I basically brought the trek madone to replace my older Venge pro..its just as fast or faster, lighter and it's alot more comfortable than my older 2020 Venge pro..we definitely want the Venge to return..it should be called the "Re-venge"...lol

      the main thing of the feedback I get from my customers and myself from riding the sl8, 1 the weight trying to achieve a lighter build if that was the goal, the sl8 frame is a way lighter starting weight for the sl7, so that is nice. But the biggest thing everyone talks about is the bike is so much more comfortable then all the bikes out there, the sl7 the venge the sl6... while maintain that fast feel, its like its something with the seat stays and the seatpost that they took from the aethos design but they killed it, the bike is a way more comfortable to ride then any other race bike out there

    Squeeze the drop and top bar of frame - how thin is the carbon?
    Guarantee you could crack it with a hand squeeze.
    A light weight disc frame will always be a compromise with a flexible frame that would crack if you dropped it

    Several reviewers have said that the new lever covers are appalling quality and fit very poorly. That's a deal breaker when the asking price is so high. You can't claim to be the "premium" groupset when something so elementary is so poor. Perhaps it's time for a new material to be used rather than rubber. Perhaps carbon and secured by lugs and a screw.

    • @kevindonovan9635
      @kevindonovan9635 Місяць тому +2

      Just got one of these bikes. The lever covers are exceptionally tight fitting. After reading this comment I had to go and recheck. Can’t shift it at all with normal pressure. Also if you look at this reviewer’s lever covers they look same as mine - nice and tight. I saw the review you refer to and can’t help wondering if there is something unusual going on to make them so poorly fitting. My old SL7 / SRAM red after several years has tight lever covers.

    not a fan of the too weird colours Specialized has been using on the S-Works Tarmac's the past few years - looks like someone had some left over basement wall paint and wanted to use it up - best to get back to the traditional RED and leave the weird colours for the basement walls hint hint hint - those colours would STOP me from being a Tarmac tbh - I guess the colours are unique but unique is not always better

    I would much rather pay for a Pinarello Dogma F if I had the money. They sorta devalued their brand by making so many of them and just giving them away thru sponsorships and whatnot. Basically every pro you know of that actually rides in the popular destinations has one of those already.
