Specialized Tarmac Comp Torch Edition Road Bike 2017

Specialized Tarmac Comp Torch Edition Road Bike 2017

Available in extremely limited numbers, in-store only and to carefully selected retailers, the Specialized Torch Collection truly embodies the history of our great sport. Boasting an inspirational colour scheme; the torch collection is truly spectacular to behold.

Specialized’s FACT 10r carbon is behind the incredibly lightweight and efficiently robust frame.The American company chose this material as it offers optimum efficiency yet remains stiff throughout your ride. The Rider-First Engineered design ensures every frame size provides the same responsiveness and descending prowess you’d expect from a Tarmac, whilst still giving enough compliance to allow for day-long slogs in the saddle.

Carrying on the carbon fibre theme, the Specialized S-Works FACT full carbon fork with tapered construction delivers an impressive level of stiffness and steering response, giving the perfect feedback for instantaneous accelerations and high-speed descents.

Specialized have incorporated a Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed crankset to add to this bike's versatility. Using 52/36T chainrings leaves you with all the gears you need to spin up the hills when it starts to get steep, whilst the stiff and durable setup deliver a precise level of efficient power transfer on the flat.

DT Swiss R460 clincher wheels have been used to inspire confidence in the corners, with their quick-releases ensuring you can easily swap-in and out wheels when racing.

Finished with a Specialized Comp carbon seatpost and a Specialized Toupe Comp Gel saddle, these two components complement each other, offering a perfect ratio of ride compliance and stiffness.

Designed to perform on any road, from gruelling climbs over mountain passes to leg busting sprints in the final few hundred metres, the Tarmac Comp Torch is ready for all your two-wheeled adventures.

Please note: This colourway does not react to the heat and change colour.
