About Specialized Tarmac bikes
The carbon fibre framed Tarmac range is Specialized's competition level road racing bike designed to offer an uncompromisingly stiff ride in a lightweight package. You'll see Tarmac bikes being used by pro's in races like the Tour de France but fortunately you don't have to be a pro to ride one. Tarmac models are primarily about speed and efficiency and models higher up the range are equipped with the latest lightweight, high performance components available. With advancements from previous S-Works models trickeling down each year Tarmac model typically borrow technologies from pro team-level bikes from a year or two ago. Specialized's aluminium framed Allez range is a much cheaper alternative range of race inspired bikes perfect for aspiring racers. Alternatively Specialized's carbon framed Roubaix range offers a much greater balance of comfort and speed with models at very similar price points to bikes in the Tarmac range.
Specialized says
Whether it's winning the Tour de France or a city-limit sprint, the next generation of Tarmac the SL4 was born to race, with its powerful acceleration and razor-sharp handling. Customize this FACT IS 11r carbon OSBB frameset with the spec of your choice.
