Tarmac: The Perfect Combination of Aero and Lightweight Construction
The Specialized Tarmac road bikes are designed for ambitious riders who want to perform at their best.
The successful compromise between aerodynamics and weight is particularly impressive. While the Tarmac road bike offers almost the same aerodynamics as specific aero bikes, it is still light and agile enough to excel uphill. The frame of the weighs less than 700 grams, making it one of the lightest in the peloton. The Specialized team achieved this thanks to a precisely tuned carbon layup, which also sets new standards in terms of stiffness and handling.
In terms of riding feel, the Tarmac bikes from Specialized offer an impressive combination of stability and agility. The lower headtube provides more precise steering, while the frame is flexible enough to effectively absorb vibrations from uneven roads. These properties make the Tarmac not only a road bike for competitions, but also a comfortable companion for lengthy training sessions. Whether on hilly terrain, steep climbs or fast descents – the Specialized Tarmac delivers outstanding capabilities in all situations.

The Specialized Tarmac is available in several model variants, all of which rely on electronic groupsets from SRAM and Shimano.
