Specialized Tarmac Pro Race 2016 - Road Bike

With the 2016 Tarmac Pro Race you have everything you need to destroy your local climbs and tackle the hairiest descents with confidence. Dominate the race and crush your competition with an advanced frame with its Rider-First Engineered design matched to the pro level Dura Ace drivetrain.

Carbon frame and fork

The Tarmac is built around a supremely advanced composite carbon FACT 10r frame which is ultra strong and stiff, whilst being lightweight for race winning handling and acceleration. This low weight comes from 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.

The oversized bottom bracket and chainstays are molded together as one unit to be super stiff and resist deflection under load. Acceleration improves as more of your power is being transferred directly to the drivetrain.

The Pro Race comes with a FACT full carbon fork which 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.

Dura-Ace

For 2016 the Tarmac Pro Race comes with a pro-level Dura-Ace groupset, upgraded from Ultegra on last years model. Also equipped are powerful Dura-Ace brakes. This setup is designed to help you eke out the most from your effort.

Carbon rims

Roval Rapide CL40 rims come with aero optimised rim profiles to slice through the air. They are a perfect balance of low weight and aero performance.
