I bought a new '19 Tarmac Comp Disc from my LBS and have owned it for 2 months. I'm 6' tall, 177lb and a 58 fits well. I've only put a little over 500 miles on it but my first impressions are very positive. I just ride for fun and try and beat PR's. Usually 25-80 mile rides, a couple times a week at around 200W/kg average. (FTP is 277 and sprints around 800.) This bike is fast, light, comfortable and reliable. It really flies up hills and the power transfer feels immediate. Out of the saddle is explosive with speed and confidence-boosting handling. Getting the bike up to speed is effortless. Keeping it up to speed requires a little more work, but I believe that is my personal problem. The DT Swiss 470 wheels are bombproof with quality hubs and have handled potholes and small amounts of gravel or grass well. I exclusively ride road and paved trails with this bike, but in the Midwest anything can be thrown in front of you. The wheels just power through and no punctures yet. I don't think I will go tubeless, but the option is there if I ever do desire. Full Ultegra is awesome. This is my first disc brake bike; I got caught in a downpour, and the disc brakes were a noticable improvement. Everything on this bike is reliable. I have had no issues at all and if I do, I trust Specialized and my LBS to take care of me.

This is my third Specialized rode bike, and it continues to amaze me. It's both quick and comfortable and it's very fast and stable on the downhills. It shifts fast, handles the hill pulls well, and runs the straight-a-ways like a thoroughbred -- no kidding, this is a great bike. I would recommend it to a friend – and those hydraulic disc brakes are to die for!

I've had a few road bikes and this is my first specialized. Love this bike. Ultegra Disc brakes are way better than other disc brakes I've had. A little more clearance, so no brakes rubbing ... the last thing I need on a climb! The bottom bracket on the frame is really solid. The mint is a beauty that needs to be seen in sunlight. The lettering runs from black to dark purple to dark green. Really beautiful bike paint. I also really enjoy the grip tape and saddle. All around great road bike. I get a lot of compliments!

So first off, this bike is just flat out fun to ride. If you are thinking about taking the plunge into a new road bike I cannot recommend this bike enough. Ride is super smooth, shifting is very crisp, and stops on a dime. All around great bang for your buck, has all the basics and set up for future upgrades.
