The new Specialized Tarmac Road Bike is built for speed, but it offers much more than just aerodynamic excellence. Featuring a lightweight, Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it ensures the best ride quality across all sizes. Whether you're aiming for personal records, King of the Mountain titles, or podium finishes, the new Tarmac is ready to help you achieve your goals. It's truly one bike to rule them all.
Equipped with the new SRAM Rival eTap AXS 12-speed group for accessible wireless shifting and Turbo Pro 700x26mm tyres for fast rolling, this Tarmac delivers top-tier performance at a more affordable price point.
"Aero is everything" has been Specialized's mantra for years, and it's the core principle behind the new Tarmac. By drawing on the Venge development process and utilising their FreeFoil Shape Library, they crafted tube shapes that create the fastest frame allowed by UCI rules. Extensive testing in the Win Tunnel confirmed that the new Tarmac Comp is 33 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. It's all about uncompromised, pure speed.
While aerodynamics were a primary focus, weight was equally crucial in developing this optimal race bike. Aero bikes typically compromise on weight, but the goal was to stay at or below the UCI weight limit without sacrificing aerodynamics. Thanks to the FreeFoil Shape Library, isotopic FEA analysis, and expert engineering, Specialized achieved a 920g frame that maintains aero efficiency, stiffness, and ride quality.
To create the perfect race bike, Specialized applied their Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy, ensuring the new Tarmac offers balanced handling and exceptional performance, regardless of size. Feedback from top test riders from Specialized's World Tour Teams (Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe) helped refine the Tarmac. The result is a bike that balances front and rear ride quality for long-lasting comfort, while retaining legendary handling and race-winning responsiveness.
Building on insights from the Venge, the new Tarmac features simple integration for a clean, fast cockpit that's user-friendly. Improved routing accommodates any configuration (mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars) without compromising aerodynamics. This design also makes the new Tarmac easy to work on and travel with, ensuring it's a win-win for any cyclist.
