The Built for Legends LTD Collection celebrates Specialized's winning legacy with an exclusive colorway and unique details - red brake calipers, blacked out components, - inspired by the sport's most iconic race machines. Limited to a handful of individually numbered bikes worldwide in each category, this collection is as rare as it is fast. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.
The Built for Legends LTD Colorway
Red has always symbolized Specialized's passion for racing. This LTD finish layers a red tint over silver dust, shifting from deep crimson in low light to bright metallic fire in the sun. A hand-applied black ink wash flows across each product like watercolor, while dark edge fades create depth and dimension.
No two are exactly alike.
Every product is a one-of-a-kind, glassy-smooth, hand-buffed expression of speed.
S-Works Tarmac SL9 Built for Legends LTD
199 Individually Numbered Bikes Worldwide
The S-Works Tarmac SL9 is built around one objective: getting you across the finish line faster than any other road bike. Combining the lightest production Tarmac frame ever made with exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, razor-sharp handling and race-winning stiffness, it delivers the lowest real-world time to finish of any road bike Specialized has ever created. Whether you're sprinting for victory, attacking mountain climbs or racing over rolling terrain, the Tarmac SL9 excels everywhere.
At its heart is the 687g FACT 12r carbon frame, engineered using Rider-First Engineered™ and Win Tunnel technology to balance lightweight climbing performance with class-leading aerodynamics and precise handling. Paired with the Roval Rapide CLX III carbon wheelset and integrated Roval Rapide cockpit, every watt is converted into forward speed with outstanding stability in all riding conditions.
SRAM's flagship RED AXS E1 wireless groupset delivers lightning-fast electronic shifting and is paired with a Quarq power meter for precise performance data. CeramicSpeed bearings, premium carbon components and the S-Works Power with Mirror saddle complete a race-ready package weighing just 6.6kg, making the S-Works Tarmac SL9 the ultimate no-compromise road racing machine.
