Cuando desarrollamos la Tarmac, no sólo queríamos que fuese rápida. Queríamos que fuese rápida en todas partes. Subidas largas, llanos con viento, etapas de grandes vueltas, marchas… fabricamos una bici de competición más completa del mercado. ¿Cómo lo hicimos? Comenzamos por nuestro cuadro Rider-First Engineered™ cuyo comportamiento está perfectamente adaptado a cada talla, incorporamos importante tecnología ‘aero’ para hacerla 30 segundos más rápida que la Tarmac SL5 sobre una distancia de 40 kilómetros, y después la aligeramos un 20%. No hay otra más ligera, rápida y con mejor comportamiento. Esta Tarmac se equipa con unos componentes fiables que incluye transmisión mecánica Shimano Tiagra de 10 velocidades, potentes frenos de disco hidráulicos, resistentes ruedas Axis Sport Disc, y nuestro sillín Power, el preferido de nuestros clientes
For the construction of the Tarmac, we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 9r carbon.
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, areas were discovered where we could add aero for free—a new fork shape and dropped seatstays with aero tubes. The result? A Tarmac that’s approximately 30 seconds faster over 40 kilometers.
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.
