Our feathery FACT carbon Tarmac is so light and quick, the finish line will barely know it’s being crossed. There might not even be a finish line in your race; simply staying a tyre length or two in front of your friends on a given day might be your mission. To do that you need a steed designed for raw speed and efficiency that’s still light, sharp-handling and smooth-riding. Designed in cooperation with the Specialized-sponsored Saxo squad, Tarmac is all that and more. The Tarmac will whisper to the scales and murmur sweet nothings to the finish line-wherever it might be

What is a Road Bike?Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our
