We're big fans of the SL6 generation Tarmac, it's the perfect fast-road all-rounder, blending just enough aero with light weight, pin-sharp handling and superb ride quality. This build uses SRAM's latest top of the range 2x12 groupset to provide a wide range of closely spaced gears, ensuring you're always able to maintain the ideal cadence.
The built-in crank based dual sided power meter means that you can easily monitor your performance whether training or racing, and was a highlight for Barry when he reviewed this model earlier in the year:
The star of the show for me on this bike is the Quarq AXS power meter integrated into the cranks. Shimano have had their well documented issues with making a reliable power meter for the Dura-Ace crank. Whereas Quarq have a stellar reputation; and having this built-in and ready to go is a real competitive advantage in my eyes. In my testing it performed flawlessly, and feedback from customers indicates that this is a common experience.
