When Specialized developed the Tarmac, they didn’t just want it to be fast. Specialized wanted it to be fast everywhere. Long climbs, windy flats, Grand Tour stages, local fondos—they built a race bike to be the most complete out there. How’d they do it? Specialized started with their Rider-First Engineered™ frame with a perfectly-tuned ride quality for every size, added in some serious aero tech that makes it 30 seconds faster than the Tarmac SL5 over 40 kilometers, and then made it 20% lighter. Nothing is lighter, faster, and better handling.

This Tarmac comes with a reliable spec that includes 10-speed Shimano Tiagra mechanical shifting, quick-stopping hydraulic disc brakes, durable Axis Sport Disc wheels, and our fan-favorite Power saddle.
