2016 Specialized S-Works Tarmac Di2

Overview

About this bike

With their S-Works Tarmac Di2, Specialized offers the next generation of their race-bred speed machine. With its magnificent FACT carbon frame and selection of cutting-edge components, it's no surprise that its the choice for champions of the caliber of Peter Sagan and Vincenzo Nibali, who use the S-Works Tarmac to turn sinuous European roads into their own personal playgrounds. The heart and soul of this bike is the top-of-the-line, 11r Fact Carbon frame, which features Rider First Engineering, inspired by Specialized’s partnership with McLaren—leaders in Formula 1 development. Each of the seven frame sizes were developed independently, based on real-world data collected from test riders. Specialized measured power transfer and steering response in each frame size to optimize ride quality and on-the-road performance for every rider, regardless of size. At your fingertips, Shimano's 11-speed Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain offers perfect, crisp shifts every time, and is matched with an incredibly light S-Works FACT carbon crankset. Shimano's Dura-Ace brakes showcase high modulation and stopping power that give you the confidence on tight, windy roads. Specialized's Roval Rapide CLX 40 carbon wheels are the perfect pairing for the S-Works Tarmac and feature 40mm-deep carbon rims that offer unbeatably low rotating weight and blinding acceleration. With a set of Specialized's supple 24mm-wide Turbo Cotton tires, you're ready to start carving up your favorite descent. Only top-tier components are good enough for an S-Works frame, so Specialized equipped this thoroughbred with carbon bars and a FACT carbon seatpost to damp road vibration, as well as a Body Geometry S-Works Toupe saddle dressed up with carbon rails. If you're looking for the ultimate in complete road bike performance, look no further than the S-Works Tarmac Di2.
