✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size 56 row of Specialized's Frame Stack/Frame Reach geometry table. Specialized publishes no tyre clearance on the Tarmac SL9 product pages; the 32mm figure is the 'Max Rear Tire 700c x 32 mm / Max Front Tire 700c x 32 mm' line in the Tarmac SL9 user manual that Specialized links from this page (media.specialized.com/support/collateral/TARMAC_SL9_USER_MANUAL_ENGLISH.pdf), and it matches the 32mm Specialized states for the SL8. The same manual lists 'Rack Compatible: No' and 'Fender Compatible: No', so both mounts are recorded as absent. Weight is Specialized's claimed figure for a production painted frame in size 56. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
