The new women's S-Works Tarmac is a serious bike for those who are interested in serious performance. The highest grade carbon frame, S-works carbon crankset, Shimano DuraAce Di2 groupset, CeramicSpeed bearings and carbon finishing kit make it a bike built to suit the rigours of pro-racing — and the bike of the Boels-Dolmans women's pro team.

Coming in at £8,500 / $9,500 / AU$13,000, the new S-Works Tarmac SL6 sits right at the top end of the women's performance road range and is the spec equivalent of the men's Tarmac, which sits at the same price.

It's already got racing pedigree, since it made its debut in the 2017 race season ridden by members of Boels-Dolmans. 

The Tarmac replaces the top-end Amira women's bikes
