Specialized Tarmac Expert 2016 - Road Bike
The Specialized Tarmac Expert is a purpose-built race machine. Crush the competition with a superior frame and pro level components on a frame which is surprisingly comfortable, for a race bike.
Carbon frame and fork
When you buy a Tarmac you’re getting one of the most advanced and refined carbon composite road race frames on the market. The FACT 10r frame is very strong and stiff, whilst being lightweight for all round handling and acceleration benefits you need to win. This low weight is achieved through using a greater proportion of higher modulus fibres in the frame.
Oversized top and down tubes wrap around the headtube eliminating any potential weak spots in the frame. This combined with a tapered headtube improves your steering response due to a stiffer frame and fork junction.
Oversized bottom bracket and chainstays are molded together as one unit that is super stiff and can resist deflection under load. Acceleration improves as more of your power is being transferred directly to the drivetrain.
The Expert comes with a FACT full carbon fork provides incredible front end stiffness and scalpel like steering precision.
Rider-First Engineered
Every frame size has been individually engineered, so no matter your size you’ll get the same ride experience. Smaller riders benefit from a lighter and more balanced bikes, with improved handling in the corners. Larger riders benefit from a marked increase in steering response.
Testing and development of Rider-First engineering is carried out in partnership with McLaren F1.
Shimano Ultegra
Equipped is a Shimano Ultegra 11 speed groupset, including brakes and FSA SL-K Light semi compact cranks. This is just one step down from pro level componentry and is supremely lightweight and tough with slick shifting.
Fulcrum Racing S-19 wheels are lightweight, smooth and fast to help transfer your power to the road.
