Great review as always! This was just what I as looking for, as I'm looking at buying the Melee, but was concerned it might not be "as good" as just getting the Tarmac Sl8. Glad to see the tests were so close! look forward to the full review in the future. Keep up the great work!

@kimwarner6050 4 ай бұрын

I got the tarmac sl8 on release day. Honestly the only thing going for the bike is the low weight. The bike is not very aero. Once it gets above 25mph, it doesn't easily stay there. Also i find it hard to get over 30mph. Granted I'm short and a girl, but on my Pinarello Paris its not a problem. Currently im considering selling the tarmac, and buying a F5

@paulseandaniels5031 4 ай бұрын

Love this honest opinion although you own a sworks tarmac. I own a Madone SLR Gen 6 and it holds speed like nothing IV ridden before. I can't understand how these new bikes with the thin profile tubes can be more aero! These manufacturers are saying things that we actually don't experience in the real world

@@cyclingchef3531 tarmac is still slow. I got the Pinarello F5 and swapped groupsets and wheels. Also some additional changes to make the F5 lighter. The tarmac now has 40mm carbon wheels. Both bikes are now basically the same weight and both still have two piece handlebars. The F5 is 6.9kg with pedals and the tarmac is maybe .3 grams lighter. First ride on the F5 I hit 30 mph. Also the F5 just holds speeds better and is more manageable. 25/26 mph on tarmac I need about 220/230 watts. F5 160/170 watts. I'll do some more tests. I've had the F5 for little over 3 weeks now. Needless to say the tarmac hasn't been ridden. In no way I'm I saying the tarmac is a bad bike. It just doesn't suit my flatland Florida terrain.

I have the Sl8 since release (s works) and i came from a dogma. I have to say the weight and ridefeel are significantly different and in clear favour of the tarmac. On pure flat nice tarmac bunch rides, the dogma has an advantage but everywhere else i would pick the tarmac over and over again. It is just the better bike.

I don't think an aero bike but an all-around bike. The one reliable reviewer which has a wind tunnel proclaimed the sl8 as the best. I don't have the privilege to try every bike before i ride but look at reviews so I'd go with the sl8 considering I've ridden it and love it.

We sell Trek in Columbus. They won’t let us sell their products in 2/3 of our locations so we decided to just be multi brand. Specialized ends up being our biggest brand by default since we can sell them in every store. We sell over ten different bike brands now, ultimately it’s better for the customers this way to be honest.

And why would anyone, but a pure gullible poser spend thousands of dollars on a cheaply fabricated mainland China sweatshop stock cookie cutter frameset made with poor fab tolerances, and poor QC that cost no more than a couple hundred bucks to cheaply fab over there? Amazing how gullible and easily marketed to so many fools are. Pay (bribe) a pro rider on TV to ride a cheaply made steaming pile of shat and loads of goofball posers will race out to drop big coin on it. Silly folks. LOL
