Specialized Tarmac Comp Road Bike 2017

Specialized Tarmac Comp Road Bike 2017

Featuring the same Grand Tour winning geometry found on Peter Sagan and Alberto Contador's bikes, the Specialized Tarmac Comp Road Bike 2017 is poised to take your riding and performance to the next level. Its super lightweight FACT 10r carbon frame and Specialized FACT carbon fork are ideal for putting down the power over long distances, keeping everything efficient and stiff for a much faster ride than ever before.

The Specialized FACT full carbon fork has been designed to not just reduce the overall weight of the bike, but also produce greater comfort over rougher surfaces. The carbon layup absorbs all road vibration and chatter to keep you riding stronger for longer, whilst the Rider-First Engineered design of the frame ensures you get the best carbon layup and geometry possible.

Each tube size and thickness of carbon, within the Rider First Engineered, design produces the optimal balance of rigidity, weight and responsiveness - so no matter what size frame you’re riding, whether it be a 49cm or a 61cm, everyone gets the same performance enhancing features.

Shimano Ultegra 6800, 11-speed gearing is the pinnacle of high-speed shifting when combined with this lightweight frame. Its wide link design increases rigidity and reduces shifting deflection, while also delivering more equal shifting efforts throughout the full range of the cassette.

Teamed with an 11-28t cassette, this drivetrain offers more than enough gear range to get you up steeper climbs and powering down technical descents. Shimano Ultegra 6800 also takes care of the braking with the Tarmac. These dual pivot brakes with polymer-coated cables bring a smooth braking operation with excellent modulation to the tarmac, and all with a stunning weight of just 333g (front and back calipers).

The Tarmac Comp has been finished with DT Swiss R460 wheels, which are a perfect blend of lightweight efficiency and durable strength for an even higher performing ride.
