Men's Tarmac

2018 Men's Tarmac

The base Tarmac brings performance to the masses, with many of the same technologies that you'll find in our higher-end models, but with a price tag that's a bit more palatable. To go along with this Grand-Tour winning FACT 9r carbon frame and performance geometry, we've spec'd it with the reliable shifting of Shimano's Tiagra. It's the perfect introduction to start exploring the roads ahead.

As for the spec, we've made sure to select components that keep you rolling without worry like durable DT R460 wheels, Shimano Tiagra shifting, and a bevy of Body Geometry components that maximize performance by providing the utmost in comfort.
