Available for purchase through a 0% Tredz Finance contract with a flexible deposit scheme.
Frame & Fork
The Tarmac Expert is made from Specialized’s FACT 10r carbon, this is just one grade modulus below the fibres they use on their S-Works Tarmac. So, you get a frame which is very light, very stiff and very strong - ideal for road racing.
One of the biggest selling points has to be the Rider First Engineered frame sizes for each Tarmac. Developed in partnership with McLaren, every frame size has been designed independently to cope with the different real world stresses different sized riders exert. This means no matter which size Tarmac Expert you buy, you will get the exact same performance.
In the real world, this translates into more precise steering on larger frames and lighter frames for smaller riders.
The full carbon frame and fork has natural road buzz dampening properties which helps to keep you feeling fresh in the saddle as you power through a sportive race.
Components
The Shimano Ultegra 11 speed groupset offers almost instant and precise shifting for lightning fast gear changes. New for 2015 is the very light and stiff Praxis Works, TURN Zayante, crankset ensuring that every ounce of power is transferred efficiently to the road.
To keep you rolling quickly and smoothly, the Tarmac comes with Fulcrum S4 rims. These provide stable and confident handling on the descents whilst letting you fly up the climbs.
Helping to dissipate road buzz before it reaches your legs a carbon seatpost allows a little flex for a more comfortable ride.
