Specialized S-Works Tarmac Dura-Ace Road Bike 2017

Specialized S-Works Tarmac Dura Ace Road Bike 2017

When you’ve got your eyes on the prize, there’s only one bike you need to get you there. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac Dura Ace Road Bike 2017 has been intrinsictly designed, engineered and tested to provide a sublime ride, with a range of features to make it a lightweight, strong and durable package.

The frame is constructed from Specialized’s FACT 11r carbon fibre that’s purpose built for every aspect of the road. Its ultra low weight makes it the perfect base for an efficient ride, while its stiff, rigid nature ensures every watt you put down is transferred onto the road, without any waste. It’s Rider-First Engineered™ design specifically applies the optimal rigidity, balance and stability into every frame, so no matter whether you’re riding a 49cm or a 61cm - everyone gets the same benefits.

Specialized’s S-Works specific, FACT full carbon fork follows the same suit as the frame, producing exceptional stiffness and steering response without adding any weight. It’s ideal for sprinters, climbers and wind-defiers as it transfers instantaneous acceleration into lightning fast speed when out the saddle and produces beautifully snappy control when on high-speed, technical descents.

Following on with the cycling industry's latest technological innovations, Specialized have incorporated Shimano’s latest groupset, the Dura Ace 9100. Each of the components within this groupset magnifies the qualities of the others for an unparalleled level of performance. It truly is component engineering at its peak.

The 11-28t cassette provides an ample range of gears to get you up harsher gradients than ever before, and it’s integration within the rest of the drivetrain allows you to feel a perfect connection to the rest of the bike. “Reliability, accuracy and precision” - what Shimano aimed for within the Dura Ace 9100, and that’s exactly what you get.

Dura Ace 9100 also takes control of the braking within the S-Works Tarmac Dura Ace 2017. The new caliper design increases overall braking performance, has an integrated sleek low-profile caliper design and enables more comfortable riding with wider tyres on rough road, fitting up to 28c tyres.

Finished with a Roval CLX 32 Disc wheelset and Specialized Turbo Cotton 700x24mm tyre combination, you’ll find grip in places you thought didn’t exist. The wheels have been researched and tested in Specialized’s own wind tunnel, the ‘Win Tunnel’, and provide great aerodynamic efficient over long distances, whilst remaining agile and responsive enough for great control when on the bike.
