Meet your competitive edge. The Men's Tarmac Expert by Specialized is constructed for maximum performance, whether you're blasting through training rides or dominating local races. Designed with advanced aerospace cycling technology, the Tarmac Expert is lighter, stronger, and faster.

Weighing only around 950 grams, this bike features our revolutionary FACT 10r carbon construction, providing an unbeatable combination of strength and lightness. This cutting-edge technology resulted in a drastic 20% reduction in frame weight, allowing you to reach new personal records on hill climbs.

Enhanced with our upgraded Rider-First Engineered™ technology, the Tarmac Expert offers precise stiffness and compliance exactly where needed. We've refined the geometry using an abundance of Ret∅¼l data points and professional rider input, leading to a perfect balance of a responsive front end and short wheelbase. The result? Instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.

The design includes a seatpost that incorporates compliance into the upper 120mm, lower seatstays, and an altered seat tube shape, mitigating the feel of the road beneath you while still maintaining the race-machine drive of the Tarmac. Coupled with a tire clearance up to 30mm, these enhancements offer reduced rolling resistance, increased traction, and additional comfort for those sustained rides.

Understanding the importance of aerodynamics in achieving speed, we focused on three areas for 'free aero': a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, and a D-shaped seatpost and seat tube. These features contribute to a bike that, startlingly, clocks in around 45 seconds quicker over 40km than other lightweight bikes in the category.

Coming to you race-ready, the Tarmac Expert is fitted with a reliable, lightweight Shimano Ultegra 8000 groupset, agile Roval Rapide CL 50 rims on DT Swiss hubs, our fastest S-Works Turbo 26mm tyres, and a comfortable Toupé Expert Gel saddle.

Key Features:

  • FACT 10r carbon frame offering lighter weight, enhanced compliance and responsiveness.
  • Rider-First Engineered™ design ensures consistent climbing and descending capabilities across every frame size.
  • S-Works full FACT carbon fork, providing unrivalled front end stiffness and steering response.
  • Highly reliable, lightweight, and precise 11-speed Shimano Ultegra 8000 shifting gearset.

This isn't just a bike, it's a reboot of your cycling performance. Ride with the Men's Tarmac Expert by Specialized, and leave competition in the dust.
