Specialized Tarmac SL& 105 Road Bike 2024 The new Tarmac is not just about speed; it embodies a comprehensive approach beyond aerodynamics. With its lightweight Rider-First EngineeredTM frame, the Tarmac ensures optimal ride characteristics across all sizes, making it a versatile choice for achieving various goals, from PRs and KOMs to podium top-steps-;a true all-in-one bike. While prioritizing aerodynamics in the Tarmac’s development, weight was a crucial factor. Unlike previous “aero bikes,” the Tarmac maintains a design philosophy that adheres to or stays below the UCI weight limit without compromising aerodynamics. Through cutting-edge tools like the FreeFoil Shape Library and isotopic FEA analysis, the Fact 9r frame weighs a mere 1010 grams, showcasing a perfect balance of aerodynamics, stiffness, and ride quality. In the pursuit of the ultimate race bike, the Tarmac leverages the Rider-First EngineeredTM philosophy, ensuring it’s the most balanced and best-handling Tarmac to date, regardless of size. Rigorous testing with world-class riders from Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe contributes to a ride quality that excels in comfort without compromising the legendary handling and race-winning responsiveness of the Tarmac. Additionally, the Tarmac features simple integration for a clean, fast cockpit that remains easy to live with, accommodating various configurations and maintaining aerodynamic attributes, making it not only high-performance but also user-friendly for maintenance and travel.
