Same Winning Bikes

The bikes ridden by the team Soudal Quick-Step are the same as in 2022, and the same as Team Bora – hansgrohe.
The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 is the do-it-all bike of the team. It fits the sprinters and the climbers of the team. And seeing the three years of World Champion won on the Tarmac SL7 confirms the bike is up to its task.

The Specialized Shiv is the bike ridden on the Time-Trial stages and races.
On the Paris-Roubaix, the Soudal Quick-Step riders ride the Specialized S-Works Roubaix.

All the bikes are equipped with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed groupset.
The Roval wheels of various rim height roll on Specialized tires, either tubeless, tubulars, or clinchers, depending on the race’s profile and rider’s preference.
The three touch points of the riders of Team Soudal Quick-Step are the PRO handlebar, the S-Works Power saddle, and the Shimano Dura-Ace pedals.

Soudal Quick-Step riders use the Garmin cycling computer GPS to read their live data from the Shimano PowerMeter and Core Body sensor.

The riders of the Team Soudal Quick-Step wear the Specialized S-Works Prevail and Evade helmet, Castelli Team cycling jersey and bib-shorts, Oakley sunglasses, and Specialized cycling shoes.
