Specialized Tarmac Pro Race 2015 - Road Bike

The Specialized Tarmac Pro Race is a purebred road race machine designed to crush the competition. If you want to fly up the climbs and pound down the descents (in full control) then this Tarmac is for you.

Ride faster than you’ve ever gone before. You can buy the Tarmac Pro Race through a 0% interest Tredz Finance package with a flexible deposit.

Frame & Fork

At the core of the bike is Specialized’s super high quality (and high-grade) FACT 10r carbon composite frameset. That means this is a very light and strong bike with epic stiffness for dominating the climbs.

As you can see, the geometry is aggressive with a low stem and long top tube designed to get you low into an efficient tuck. The rear triangle is compact for improved handling and a tapered head tube greatly improves cornering whilst staying torsionally rigid.

No matter which size Tarmac Pro Race you go for, you’ll experience the same performance throughout the range. That’s because of Rider-First Engineering. Essentially each frame size has been completely independently developed - catered for the differing real-world stresses that short and tall riders place on their frame.

This means larger frames are developed to improve steering precision, whilst smaller frames are built to be lighter. So you’re getting the best fit and performance, whatever your size.

A full carbon frame and fork has natural road buzz dampening so that your muscles don’t fatigue quite so quickly. But, make no mistake, the layup has been tuned to improve lateral stiffness and performance - every drop of power through the pedals is transformed into forward movement.

Components

The Tarmac Pro Race comes equipped with a high-performance 11-speed Shimano Ultegra drivetrain for the super crisp and reliable action, without the weight penalty.  For maximum power transfer through the pedals a FACT carbon OSBB crankset will get you accelerating out of the pack. Ultegra brakes give you everything you need on race-day.

Roval Rapide CL 40 rims are very light and durable for long use while being wrapped in Turbo Pro 700x23c that keep you rolling, fast.

Rounding off the package is an S-Works FACT carbon seatpost (27.2mm) giving you just enough flex to help soak up road vibrations.

If you’re serious about racing, then the Tarmac Pro Race will get you riding harder and faster than ever. Designed and engineered to give you the best possible performance to dominate a race.
