A warning to all roadies - very soon someone's gonna buy this bike off us and then they're gonna take your name at the next race. Just sayin'.
Heck, the Tarmac is the bike that both Peter Sagan AND Julian Alaphillippe rode atop to collect the Green and Polka-Dot Jerseys respectively at this year's Tour De France.
So, yeah it has some cred. And whilst the Tarmac Elite isn't the exact bike that Petey and Jules threw a leg over, it's still a beast of a race bike.
Oh and BTW - full Ultegra drivetrain and brakes on a carbon bike for under three grand? Shut up and take my money! We're believers, but we've only got one of them, and if you need more convincing here's the Specialized blurb:
Chances are, you're not going to be competing in a Grand Tour this year,
but when it comes to your training rides and local races, it's hard to top the Tarmac Expert. Like the S-Works Tarmac iterations, it features a Rider-First Engineeredâ„¢ design that that applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size. This creates the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness, so every frame, regardless of size, performs just as we intended.
You'll also find an identical, Grand-Tour-winning geometry, plus a FACT 10r carbon fiber construction that's mere steps away from what you'll find under the likes of Peter Sagan. For the spec, we selected components that deliver the best bang for your buck, stiff, reliable DT Swiss R460 Pro wheels, Shimano Ultegra 6800, and a bevy of Body Geometry components that maximize performance by providing the utmost in comfort. It's everything you need to take your racing to the next level, and more than enough to bag some PRs on the weekend.
