The £5750 Disc Pro and the £4000 Disc Expert (which comes in men’s and women’s versions) models get a FACT 10r frameset which has a D-shaped seat tube and seat post for aero benefits and increased compliance.

Tarmac SL6 Disc Expert comes with new £900 38mm deep Roval carbon wheels

The Disc Pro gets Ultegra Di2 shifting and Roval CL50 Disc carbon tubeless ready wheels, along with a host of other Specialized components.

The men’s and women’s Disc Expert come with mechanical Ultegra and Roval C38 Disc carbon wheels. The Roval C38 Disc wheels are new and will also be available aftermarket, with a retail price of £900.

Tarmac SL6 Disc Comp and Disc Sport

The other new specs get the Tarmac SL6 FACT 9r frameset. Instead of the D-shaped seat tube, this has a conventional round seat tube and seat post.

The Tarmac SL6 Comp comes in men’s and women’s versions and costs £2750. It comes with Ultegra hydraulic with mechanical shifting and DT Swiss R470 Disc alloy wheelset.

Entry-level Tarmac SL6 Disc Sport comes with Shimano 105 and a round profile seat tube

Finally, the Tarmac SL6 Sport Disc will cost £2250 when it becomes available in August. This comes with Shimano 105 hydraulic shifting and the same DT Swiss R470 Disc wheelset. Like the rest of the Tarmac Disc range, there’s a carbon seat post. Again, there’s a women’s version.
