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 Tarmac’s development, weight played a crucial part on this journey of this race bike. Previously “aero bikes” have compromised in the weight department. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, without sacrificing 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 any 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 yet – regardless of size. With an army of the world’s 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 kilometres 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 comfortable – all without giving up anything to the Tarmac’s legendary handling and race-winning snappiness.
Building on learnings from the Venge, the new Tarmac uses integration to create a clean, fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. We’ve 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. It’s a win-win.
