Other than seeing all colour options, there’s not a lot to ‘unveil’ anymore.

More interested in seeing whether this is the end of the Venge, as is being speculated or whether they will continue with that model also.

A video I’ve seen so far is comparing it to the SL6 rather than making claims of X,Y,Z faster, stiffer than the Venge.

Does look like a venge doesnt it

Im interested to see what the lower end models will look like, Current SL6 comp models versus the pro or S Works are slightly different.

Same here. I'm poised to purchase a new road bike at the £3k price point. Will be between this new Specialized, the new Emonda, or the Cannondale Super Six.

It's similar to a venge yeah, tho I'd describe it more as a venge front end on a tarmac. I want one, but know it'll be a fortune and I can't really upgrade my SL6.

Why do bike manufacturers always choose a crap colour for the model at my price point?

As far as I can see, at my price point (Tarmac Comp) it’s last years frame in a different colour scheme with better wheels.

apparently the SL6 is still being offered as is. SL7 applies to the higher end, divorce inducing stuff.

I did buy my SL6 thinking there would be FA difference between it and the ones being released at the minute.

Time for some carbon rims me thinks...
