Italian superstar Vincenzo Nibali is one of the most exciting stage racers in the peloton. With increasing success in the most difficult races in the world, the new Specialized partnership will help deliver Nibali to the podium aboard his personal Tarmac SL4 in the 2013 race season.
Inspiration for his S-Works Tarmac SL4 comes from the region of his birthplace – the Strait of Messina, located between Italy and Sicily. The frameset is adorned with a shark, representing his nickname “Shark of the Strait” and blue paint to represent the beauty of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas.
While every Specialized is a limited edition, some are much more so than others. Each bike in the SPECIALIZED Edition collection is the result of a specific vision of our research, development, and design teams, and produced once in extremely limited quantities. Nibali’s SPECIALIZED Edition will be at select Specialized dealers in Summer 2013.
