Specialized Tarmac Pro Race Road Bike 2016

This latest Specialized Tarmac Pro Race Road Bike 2016 was certainly turning a lot of heads at the recent Specialized 2016 product launch, and you can instantly see why. A bike that is able to combine reliable, race ready, professional level technology, ride quality and performance, into a competitively priced and strikingly good looking package is bound to draw some attention.

Rider-First Engineered™, the new Tarmac range has been tuned to perfection, with real time, on the road data collection and close collaboration with McLaren Formula 1 to produce the best cornering, sprinting and climbing high performance range ever to wear the Specialized badge.

FACT 10r carbon has been used in the frame construction to make the frameset stiffer than it’s predecessor.

The Specialized Pro OSBB FACT Carbon crank, that does not just look good but also gives a direct and uncompromised power delivery straight through the pedals onto the road. No watts will be wasted with this frame. This is the same one-piece shell that is used in a lot of Specialized’s top of the range bikes.

Roval Rapide CL 40 clincher wheels are light, responsive and look rapid! They are adorned with S-Works Turbo 120TPI tyres, offering a fantastic balance between comfort and speed.

Shimano have gone all out for this year, upgrading this Pro model to Shimano's flawless 11-speed Dura Ace 9000 groupset. Providing effortless shifting, cutting-edge looks and impressive levels of reliability in an incredibly lightweight package. Braking is precise, assured and works perfectly on these wheels.

Specialized paint schemes are never dull and this gloss navy, rocket red and light blue design was certainly drawing people to it at the launch event. Bold and clean, a timeless design that looks incredibly fast.
