Specialized Tarmac Disc Pro 2019 Road Bike Black/Holographic

The 2019 Specialized Tarmac Disc Pro is a light and stiff carbon road race bike with aggressive geometry, carbon rims and a Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset. Whether youre racing friends on the weekend, snagging a new KOM or PR, or mixing it up in a local road race, the Tarmac Disc Pro it the purpose-built to do it with. In order to cut some grams from the Tarmac, but to also ensure that its stiff and compliant in exactly the right places, Specialized took major improve their Rider-First Engineered™ technology. From different layup schedules and materials, to visibly different forks, they scrutinized every single aspect of the Tarmac to ensure youre getting the perfect ride. With this revamp, Specialized also updated the geometry, 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, which delivers instantaneous response and optimal power transfer. And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned, compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. Thats why Specialized designed a seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesnt happen, dropped the seatstays, and altered the seat tube shape. They also added tyre clearance up to 30mm, which translates to a 28mm Turbo Cotton on a Roval CL 50 Disc 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 it also takes a bit of the sting out of road imperfections. Youll thank us on your next long ride. But why disc brakes? The real question is "why not?" They offer superior braking power and modulation, work exceptionally well in wet weather, and offer a very, very minor weight addition. All this means that you have more control and can go faster with more confidence. Aerodynamic improvements are the most important thing to make you faster. Specializeds Bora-Hansgrohe and Quick-Step Floors Pro Tour riders, after all, are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this, the aero goal was to discover where they could essentially "add aero for free, " by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month
iterative process, three areas were discovered where they could do this—a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, and a D-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A bike thats approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category. The spec on this Tarmac means business, with Shimano Ultegra Di2 handling shifting duties, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and lightweight and aerodynamic Roval CL 50 Disc carbon wheels. This Bike Is Perfect For The rider focused on performance, looking for a top spec race bike that is comfortable to ride without any compromises. The 2019 Specialized Tarmac Disc Pro is perfect for entering races, riding with the club or even just a casual Sunday solo. Key Features Featuring our Rider-First
Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary climbing responsiveness and descending prowess youd expect from a Tarmac. The FACT 10r frame is the perfect blend of value and performance. Shimanos new Ultegra Di2 with hydraulic disc brakes not only offers exceptionally smooth and crisp shifts, but it also provides incredible stopping power and modulation. The Roval CL 50 Disc wheelset utilizes the same rim as its older sibling the CLX 50 Disc, but pairs it with traditional bearings and round spokes to keep value at an all-time high.
