The new Tarmac is designed to go fast, there’s no if’s, and’s, or but’s about thatbut it represents so much more than just aerodynamic prowess.

With a light-weight, Rider-First Engineered frame, it delivers the best-possible ride characteristics, no matter the size. So no matter what you have planned for your new Tarmac, its ready to help you achieve your goalsPRs, KOMs, or podium top-steps. One bike to rule them all.

With the new Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed group to bring electronic shifting to the masses, along with some fast rolling tires in the Turbo Pro 700x26mm tires, this new Tarmac delivers performance at a more palatable price point.

• While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmacs development, and to the development of all of our race bikes, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously aero bikes always compromised in the weight departmentthe more drag you reduced, the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. And with the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library, tools like isotopic FEA analysis, and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry, we delivered a Fact 9r frame that weighs a mere 1010 grams, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality.

• Continuing our quest to develop the perfect race bike, we used our Rider-First Engineered philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yetno matter the size. With an army of the worlds best test riders from our three World Tour Teams Boels-Dolmans, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Bora-hansgrohe we made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometers on the road. We balanced the ride quality between the front and rear end, so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortableall without giving up anything to the Tarmacs legendary handling and race-winning snappiness.

• Building on the learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac utilizes simple integration to create a clean, fast cockpit thats easy to live with. Weve improved the routing for any configuration mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc. all while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. Its a win-win.
