Specialized had one thing in mind when designing the new 2018 Tarmac - make the fastest all-around race bike out there. One bike that blimbs and descends with equal prowess, but also gives an aerodynamic edge that others fail to offer. And if there's one rider that embodies these race-winning characteristics, it's Peter Sagan. So go ahead - channel your inner World Champion and build up a custom S-Works Sagan Superstar Tarmac. To get the weight below 800 grams, Specialized utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 12r carbon. It's the most advanced material and schedule we've ever made—the shape, schedule, and material optimization allowed for nearly 200 grams to be shed. That's right, a 20% reduction in frame weight—the perfect recipe for your next hill climb PR. Further improvement on the Rider-First Engineered™ technology ensures that the new Specialized S-Works Tarmac is stiff and compliant in exactly the right places. With this revamp, the geometry has also got a refresh—basing it on countless Retül data points and professional rider input. This enabled them to develop a performance road geometry that perfects the combination of a responsive front end and short wheelbase, delivering instantaneous response and optimal power transfer. And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned, compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. Design features such as additional compliance in the seatpost, dropped seatstays & altered seat tube shapes. The tyre clearance has been upped to 30mm, which translates to a 28mm Turbo Cotton on a Roval CLX 50 wheel. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance, increased traction, and more comfort. Altogether, these additions still have the Tarmac riding like a true race-machine, but just takes a bit of the sting out of those road imperfections. And while this is all great, Specialized know that aerodynamics are an important factor in making you faster. Both Bora-Hansgrohe and Team Quick Step Floors Pro Tour riders, after all, are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this, the aero goal was to discover where the 2018 Tarmac could essentially get free aero benefits without taking anything away from the hallmarks of the design. During the six-month iterative process, three areas were discovered where this could be done - a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, and a d-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A bike that’s approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category. A speed savings that you'll feel when you're attacking off the front of the peloton. Specialized S-Works Tarmac Frameset 2018 Featuring our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary climbing responsiveness and descending prowess you'd expect from a Tarmac. The S-Works FACT 12r frameset is Specialized's highest quality carbon frame, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness. S-Works-specific FACT full carbon fork with tapered construction provides incredible front end stiffness and steering response for instantaneous accelerations and high-speed descents. With its high-modulus construction, the S-Works FACT carbon Tarmac seatpost provides impeccable power transfer, while still allowing for ample compliance for long days in the saddle.
