2020 S-Works Tarmac SL6

Nous avons conçu le Tarmac Disc pour être non seulement rapide, mais rapide partout. Longues grimpées, plats venteux, étapes de Grand Tour et cyclosportives locales : nous avons conçu un vélo de compétition qui excelle sur tous ces terrains. Comment avons-nous fait ? Nous sommes partis de notre cadre auquel la conception Rider-First Engineered™™ assure un comportement parfaitement adapté quelle que soit la taille, nous lui avons ajouté quelques améliorations aérodynamiques qui le rendent 45 secondes plus rapide sur 40 kilomètres que le Tarmac SL5, puis l''avons allégé de 20 %. Résultat : il n''y a pas plus léger, plus rapide et plus maniable.

Avec le S-Works Tarmac Sram eTAP nous n''avons fait aucune concession: groupe SRAM RED eTAP AXS Disc, pédalier SRAM RED capteur de puissance, Roval CLX 50 Disc et poste de pilotage S-Works.

• For the construction of the Tarmac Disc, we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 12r carbon. It's the most advanced material, and schedule, we've ever made, and this allowed us to shed nearly 200 grams—that's right, a 20% reduction in frame weight.

• 500 pieces creating 7 different sizes with the same tuned ride–that’s Rider-First Engineered™. We examine every ply of carbon on every frame size to ensure that all of our performance targets come through. To make sure you get the perfect ride, every frame gets a unique layup schedule with different ply arrangements, orientations, quantities of material in specific areas, and sometimes, even exclusive thicknesses and types of carbon itself.

• Aerodynamics is the most important thing we can do to make you faster, but with the Tarmac, we added aero features without any cost to weight. Through development, three areas were discovered where we could add aero for free—a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, and a D-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A Tarmac that’s approximately 45 seconds faster over 40 kilometers.

• SRAM's RED eTAP AXS group provides exceptionally crisp shifts, smooth braking modulation, and it keeps the overall weight of the Tarmac at an absolute minimum.

• The updated the geometry is based on countless Retül data points and professional rider input. This enabled us to develop a Performance Road Geometry that perfects the combination of a responsive front-end and short wheelbase, which delivers instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.

• For additional compliance, the seatpost has flex built-into the upper 120mm where clamping doesn't happen. We also dropped the seatstays, altered the seat tube shape, and added tire clearance up to 30mm.
