When we developed the Tarmac Disc, we didn't just want it to be fast. We wanted it to be fast everywhere. Long climbs, windy flats, Grand Tour stages, local fondos—we built a race bike to be the most complete out there. How'd we do it? We started with our Rider-First Engineered™ frame with a perfectly-tuned ride quality for every size, added in some serious aero tech that makes it 30 seconds faster over 40 kilometers than the Tarmac SL5, and then made it 20% lighter. Nothing is lighter, faster, and better handling.

This Tarmac comes with a reliable spec that includes Shimano 105 mechanical shifting and quick-stopping hydraulic disc brakes, durable DT R470 Disc wheels, and our fan-favorite Power saddle.

  • For the construction of the Tarmac, we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 9r carbon.

  • 500 pieces creating 7 different sizes with the same tuned ride–that’s Rider-First Engineered™. We examine every ply of carbon on every frame size to ensure that all of our performance targets come through. To make sure you get the perfect ride, every frame gets a unique layup schedule with different ply arrangements, orientations, quantities of material in specific areas, and sometimes, even exclusive thicknesses and types of carbon itself.

  • Aerodynamics is the most important thing we can do to make you faster, but with the Tarmac, we added aero features without any cost to weight. Through development, areas were discovered where we could add aero for free—a new fork shape and dropped seatstays with aero tubes. The result? A Tarmac that’s approximately 30 seconds faster over 40 kilometers.

  • The updated the geometry is based on countless Retül data points and professional rider input. This enabled us 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.

La mejor precio calidad.

yo hasta hace algunos meses tuve la sl4 sport 2015 (extraordinaria) y me compre la sl6 sport 2021 y realmente es lo mejor que he tenido en bicicleta, tuve la ventaja de comprarla de segunda mano con muy poco uso, y me costo 2/3 del valor, pero de todas maneras la habría comprado nueva.

Best bike I've owned

Tarmac sl6 sport out of the box is an excellent bike, super comfy, solid, and eager to go, only down side for me were the wheels and tyres, swapped mine out for a set of vel 50 from sigma and a set of cream gp5000s, to say this transformed the bike is an understatement. The bike now is even more comfortable with the carbon wheels and 28mm tyres over the stock 26mm, it's now even more responsive and holding speed over 30kph is so much easier, truly love this bike and unless something happens to it, I'll be keeping it for ever

Compra perfecta en relación calida-precio.

El diseño a priori hizo que adquiere esta bicicleta. En relación calidad-precio, es de las mejores opciones que te puedes encontrar al mercado. Es una bicicleta de iniciación pero que debido a las características del cuadro y sus componentes, puede servirte para competición. En mi caso, la he ido mejorando los componentes bajando la bicicleta de peso por debajo de los 7,6 kgs. Os la recomiendo.

The best bike ever

This was my first specialized road bike so I was so exited. When I rode this bike it was so good. This bike a carbon fiber. Frame so strong and not as costly as other bike. The function is so good and it is 3rd year of riding this bike. Guys never buy ruby. Buy tarmac disk sport.

로드 첫 입문

MTB 2년 타다가 영상으로 보는 로드의 매력에 빠져 첫 로드로 뭘 할지 많은 고민을 했습니다 여러 메이커와 사양들을 수없이 찾아보고 비교를 했습니다. 습샬로 결정해도 재고가 잘 없었지만 우연히 찾아간 샵에서 한번에 결정하게 되었네요 영롱함이란 이런건가 ~ 인연을 만날라니 이렇게 만나는구나 하는 생각이 들었습니다 3월초에 구매해서 약1000KM정도 타고 있습니다. 가성비 좋은 메이커들도 있었지만, 이 가격에 페달 장착하고 8kg 초반대 무게와 주행성능은 , 기술의 차이가 어디서 나는지 몸으로 느끼고 있네요 나중에 휠셋 업글정도 하면 더이상 업글이 필요 없을듯 합니다 추천드립니다

Excellent Value is Super Capable Race Bike

I just purchased the Tarmac Sport two weeks ago and have put 200 miles on it so far. My previous bike was an eight year old aluminum road bike. The Tarmac is light years ahead of it in every way. It is so smooth and fast. The razor sharp handling puts a smile on my face every ride. The carbon frame/fork/seatpost truly dampen road buzz. While this bike is stiffer, it's actually more comfortable than my old bike on chip and seal roads, etc. The power transfer is amazing. Pushing on the pedals causes the bike to surge forward. And the Shimano 105 is top notch. Shifts are so crisp, quick, and smooth. If you're considering this bike, go for it! You won't be disappointed. I wish I would have bought it months ago (or earlier). I have to give a shout out to my LBS, Champion Cycling. They were extremely helpful in my decision making process and were patient as I ""window shopped"" on numerous occasions. For reference, I have ridden over 6,000 so far in 2020.

두번째 로드 구매

첫 입문용 로드로 2년을 버티고, 두번째 로드를 타막 스포츠로 구매했습니다. 최근에 수많은 저가제품과 고 사양으로 장착된 많은 로드제품들에 많이 흔들렸고, 보이는 사양에 비해 조금 고가인 타막스포츠에 관심이 없었지만, 매장에서 보는 순간 맘이 바뀌었습니다. 맞는 사이즈를 추천해 주시고, 피팅하고, 라이딩을 하는 순간 새로운 세계에 빠졌습니다. 디스크브레이크에 8K 초반의 무게, 구매후 바로 첫 80KM 넘는 라이딩에서의 편안한 승차감은 감동이었습니다. 누가 구매하더라도, 후회없는 선택일것이라 생각합니다!!!!!
