This racing season I am lucky enough to be riding and racing on the excellent Specialized Tarmac SL4 Pro complete with the new cutting edge Shimano Ultegra Ui2 electronic groupset. After riding and racing the bike over the past month in various disciplines including 6hr training rides, 1hr Crits, hilly road races of 70+ miles and a recent hillclimb (where I got my 1st win of the season on this machine) I thought it would be a good time to share my experiences of riding the SL4.
Here is what John Dodgin has to say about the Specialized Crux:
I became the lucky owner of a Specialized Crux cyclocross bike just over a month ago, here’s a quick review of one of the most agile cross bikes out there.
We are all very giddy with anticipation for the next cross races! We have received the team bikes for those team members who appreciate mud, dirt, slippery grass and sometimes snow and ice. We are very grateful to being equipped by Specialized with their cross racing thoroughbred CruX. The bikes have been built expertly with care and pride by Biketreks mechanic Alex.
Beautiful!
