The Tarmac is designed for performance and racing, with geometry designed for out and out performance as opposed to the more relaxed Roubaix range.

The frameset is constructed using Specialized's FACT 8r carbon, using Endurance Road geometry, Zertz inserts and tapered head tube for the perfect blend of stiffness, compliance and light weight. This is complimented by the ultralight FACT carbon monocoque fork with vibration-damping Zertz inserts.

DT Axis wheels are significantly lighter than comparable level wheelsets, these tough and reliable wheels roll smooth and fast.

Shimano's new Tiagra 10 speed drivetrain offers crisp, reliable shifting with a compact chainset offering a wide spread of gears on two chainrings.

An adjustable four-position oversized alloy stem with 31.8mm bar clamp for strength offers versatile positioning used in conjunction with a Specialized Comp shallow drop alloy bar for performance and ergonomic positioning.

A minimalist, high-performance BG Toupe Plus Sport saddle is ultralight with a flat profile and generous padding for long rides and explosive efforts.

The Tarmac is a lightweight performance road bike, equipped with 10 speed Shimano Tiagra, ready to race off the peg.
