The new Tarmac is designed to go fast, no buts about it, but it represents more than just an aerodynamic feat. With a lightweight Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it offers the best possible riding characteristics regardless of size. So, no matter what you have planned for your new Tarmac, it’s ready to help you achieve your goals: Personal Records, KOMs, or podiums. A bike to rule them all.

With the new Shimano 105 mechanical 12-speed group set, along with fast-rolling Turbo Pro 700x26mm tires, this new Tarmac delivers performance at a more affordable price.

• While aerodynamics were paramount in the development of the Tarmac, and of all our race bikes, weight was the copilot in this journey to the perfect race bike. Previously, "aero bikes" were always compromised in weight: the more you reduced aerodynamic drag, the more weight you added. With the new Tarmac, our design philosophy was to keep it within or below the UCI weight limit, without sacrificing aerodynamics. Using our FreeFoil Shape Library, finite element analysis, and the expertise of the best engineers in the field, we achieved a FACT 9r frame that weighs only 1,010 grams without sacrificing a gram of aerodynamics, 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 and best-handling bike to date, regardless of your height. With input from top riders across our three World Tour teams - SD-Worx, Soudal-Quick-Step, and Bora-Hansgrohe - we made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of road miles. We balanced ride quality between the front and rear, making even the longest days in the saddle comfortable, without sacrificing the legendary race-winning handling and agility of the Tarmac.
• Based on our learnings with the Venge, the new Tarmac uses a clean and fast cockpit integration that is easy to work with. We’ve optimized routing for any setup – mechanical shifting, traditional stems, round bars, etc. – while maintaining its aerodynamic attributes. These same features also make the new Tarmac easy to adjust and travel with. Everyone wins.
