From the thrill of the start line to the rigorous group training ride, competitive road riders' need for speed lead them to bikes like the Tarmac that put light weight, stiffness and razor sharp handling above anything else. Ridden to victory by such greats as World Champion Paolo Bettini and Tom Boonen, the Tarmac continues to drive the podium with the most advanced race design in the Pro Tour.
- The Tarmac Elite’s FACT 6r carbon build features our triple monocoque construction in a compact race design, with a slightly bowed top tube for a touch of compliance on this fast, no-nonsense frame.
- The Specialized FACT carbon fibre fork, with aluminium steerer, offers a stiff yet vibration-absorbing ride.
- The Comp-Set stem uses an oversized 31.8mm bar clamp for precision steering.
- The Specialized Comp handlebar has a hand-friendly ergonomic shape.
- The scientifically proven Body Geometry Toupé is easy on your soft parts.
- The Pavé II seatpost uses our FACT carbon construction, and has an integrated Zertz insert to absorb energy-robbing vibrations.
