Specialized Tarmac Comp Road Bike 2016

Moving on with your road bike adventure, or getting it started without cutting corners, could not be easier than with the Specialized Tarmac Comp Road Bike 2016. This bike is equally at home on a climb, in a bunch sprint or on a descent.

The Specialized developed FACT 9r carbon fibre is both lightweight and stiff. Finished off with Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed components, a Praxis Works, TURN Zayante, BB30 crankset and responsive Fulcrum Racing S4 clincher wheels. This is the perfect bike for those who demand unparalleled levels of performance at a sensible price.

Major development has been invested in stiff bottom bracket design, which has been combined with a Praxis Works, TURN Zayante, BB30 crankset, which 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.

An Italian touch has been added with Fulcrum Racing S4 clincher wheels. They are light, responsive and look rapid! These fast black wheels feature stylish white or grey graphics, to match the different frame colours, and are adorned with Specialized Turbo Pro 127 TPI tyres. These tyres are 23 millimetres in width, offering a fantastic balance between comfort and speed.

Reliability, strength and performance are all paramount with the Tarmac Comp Road Bike. No expense has been spared on the handlebars and stem. Both created using ultra stiff, lightweight and ergonomic aluminium. Specialized are experts when it comes to carbon fibre and their top of the range S-Works division have added the Comp FACT carbon seatpost to this bike, adding a level of comfort and keeping the Comp's weight down to a minimum.

A bike packed with technology and the latest offerings from some of the leading cycling component manufacturers. Shimano have pulled all the stops out with their 11-speed Ultegra 6800 mechanical groupset. This state of the art system, provides effortless shifting, cutting-edge looks and impressive levels of reliability.

Braking is catered for with responsive, powerful and revered Shimano Ultegra brakes.

This year you get to choose between standing out in a crowded peloton, with the gloss light blue, rocket red and tarmac black colour option, or sneak past your opposition on the satin carbon and white version. Either way, your style will never be in doubt.

Whether sprinting in the 11 tooth sprocket or putting the power out climbing in the 28, the 11/28 cassette leaves you with plenty of gearing options. A semi compact 52/36 is ideal whether you are racing, completing that epic sportive or just riding to the café.
