Introducing the all new Factor ELARA

​Gravel racing isn't what it used to be—speeds are higher, tyres are wider, and equipment demands are brutal. Factor set out to build a pure-speed gravel machine for that exact reality, and the result is finally here

​We're excited to bring the ELARA to the shop floor. Get in touch with us to check out specs, colours & sizing.

🔥 Meet the rest of the Tarmac SL9 family 🔥

​Pro-level performance without stretching to the S-Works price tag. The 10r lineup hits the absolute sweet spot—and the new colorways look incredible in person.

​Our first drop has landed, with follow-up shipments coming in October. Spring is right around the corner, so get your order locked in early to make sure you're ready for summer☀️

​Drop by the shop to check out the colors, or send us a DM to secure your size before this batch runs out.

🤍 ​S-Works Tarmac SL9 🤍

○ Clean White Metallic Frame
○ ENVE SES Pro 4.5s White Decal
○ Fresh White Tape

All tied together nicely with silver cages to complement the silver ENVE hubs

​Light, and fast standing still. Time to put some real KMs on it.
Enjoy Anthony 🤝

It’s always a good day when you get to hand over a new Tarmac SL9 like this to long time customer and friend of the shop 🤝

​This one finished in the absolutely stunning heritage Specialized Red
​To take it to the next level, we handled a custom wheel swap for that gloss-on-gloss aesthetic across the whole bike.

​And the white bar tape? Because why not ✨️

New Bike Day // Justin's S-Works Crux 5

The subtle marble effect through the frame looks incredible in the sunlight and gives every angle something different.

Light, fast and ready for anything from long gravel adventures to a local bunch ride.

Mark's new S-Works Crux 5 just got an extra little touch with a set of ENVE Gravel SES 4.5 wheels to finish it off.
Such a clean build and one seriously capable gravel bike.

We're absolutely loving these Cruxs at moment - Specialized Bicycles Australia have nailed this bike. They're fast, lightweight and just amazing to ride

Launch day: Tuesday. 📦
The Build: Wednesday. 🔧
New Bike Day: Today. 🥂

​First of many SL9s into the wild!
To make it even better, we got to do something abit different with this build. Instead of a traditional road setup, this beauty is rocking a 1x SRAM XPLR groupset - clean and simple 🔥

One Bike To Rule Them All
The all-new S-Works Tarmac SL9 is the fastest road bike ever made, delivering the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any road bike. Lightweight, aerodynamic, ride as one with the bike. When the goal is to cross the line first, no road bike gets you there faster.
