Our S-Works Tarmac may be the optimal bike for winning Grand Tour, but chances are, you’re not going to be competing in Southern France this season. But when you need bike that’s ready to annihilate the competition on your training rides local races, the new Tarmac Expert is pretty damn hard to beat.To get the weight around 950 grams, we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction layup of our new FACT 10r carbon. It's the most advanced material schedule we've ever made-the shape, schedule, material optimization allowed us to shed nearly 200 grams. That's right, 20% reduction in frame weight-the perfect recipe for your next hill climb PR.We then further improved our Rider-First Engineered™ technology to ensure that the new Tarmac is stiff compliant in exactly the right places. With this revamp, we also updated the geometry-basing it on countless Retül data points professional rider input. This enabled us to develop performance road geometry that perfects the combination of responsive front end short wheelbase, delivering instantaneous response optimal power transfer.And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned, compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. That's why we designed seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesn’t happen, dropped the seatstays, altered the seat tube shape. We also added tire clearance up to 30mm, which translates to 28mm Turbo Cotton on Roval SLX 24 rim. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance, increased traction, more comfort. Altogether, these additions still have the Tarmac riding like true race-machine, but just takes bit of the sting out of those road imperfections. You’ll thanks us on your next long ride.And while this is all great, we know that aerodynamics are the most important thing we can do to make you faster. Both our Bora-Hansgrohe Team Quick Step Floors Pro Tour riders, after all, are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this, the aero goal was to discover where we could essentially “add aero for free,” by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month iterative process, three areas were discovered where we could do this-a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, d-shaped seatpost seat tube. The result? bike that’s approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category. speed savings that you'll feel when you're attacking off the front of the peloton.This new Tarmac comes ready to race out of the box, featuring crisp Shimano Ultegra 8000 groupset, lightweight Roval Rapide CL 50 rims laced to DT Swiss hubs, our fastest S-Works Turbo 26mm tires, sublime Toupé Expert Gel saddle.FRAMESET
