When we developed the new S-Works Tarmac Disc, we didn't just want it to be fast. No, we wanted it to be fast everywhere. Long climbs, windy flats, Grand Tour stages, local fondos—we built a race bike to be the most complete out there. And now with disc brakes, we've managed to make it, well, even more complete.

For the construction, 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—the perfect recipe for your next hill climb PR.

We also took major steps to improving our Rider-First Engineered™ technology to ensure that the new Tarmac is stiff and compliant in exactly the right places, all while shedding some serious weight. From different layup schedules and materials, to visibly different forks, we scrutinized every single aspect of the new Tarmac to ensure you're getting the perfect ride. With this revamp, we also updated the geometry, basing it 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.

And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned, compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. That's why we designed a seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesn't happen, dropped the seatstays, and altered the seat tube shape. We also added tire clearance up to 30mm, which translates to a 28mm Turbo Cotton on a Roval CLX 50 Disc wheel. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance, increased traction, and more comfort. Altogether, these additions still have the Tarmac riding like a true race-machine, but it also takes a bit of the sting out of road imperfections. You'll thank us on your next long ride.

But why disc brakes? The real question is "why not?" They offer superior braking power and modulation, work exceptionally well in wet weather, and offer a very, very minor weight addition. All this means that you have more control and can go faster with more confidence.

We also know, however, that aerodynamic improvements are the most important thing we can do to make you faster. Our Bora-Hansgrohe and Quick-Step Floors Pro Tour riders, after all, are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this, the aero goal was to discover where we could essentially "add aero for free," by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month iterative process, three areas were discovered where we could do this—a new fork shape, dropped seatstays with aero tubes, and a D-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A bike that's approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category.

Next, we included the lightest (440g/172.5mm) and most accurate power meter available, because no matter your skill level or experience on the bike, there's no better way to enhance your training and racing performance than by riding with a power meter. Lucky for you, we've combined our incredibly light and stiff carbon fiber S-Works road cranks with dual-sided power measurement.

This S-Works Tarmac comes ready to race with Shimano's new Dura-Ace 9170 Di2 groupset with disc brakes and the lightweight, yet impressively aerodynamic, Roval CLX 50 Disc wheels with 26mm Turbo Cotton tires.

  • Featuring our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary climbing responsiveness and descending prowess you'd expect from a Tarmac. The S-Works FACT 12r frame is our highest quality carbon frame, offering the ideal blend of light overall weight and targeted stiffness.

  • Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 group offers exceptionally crisp shifts, smooth braking modulation, and it keeps the overall weight of the Tarmac at an absolute minimum.

  • The Win Tunnel Engineered Roval CLX 50 Disc carbon wheelset offers superior aerodynamics, a svelte 1415-gram weight, and plenty of durability to be both a perfect training and race wheelset.

Incredible bike

Everything about this bike is top notch except...the seat post clamp into the frame is not great

Wow! Believe the hype!

I expected this bike to make me faster because it's light and aero. I thought that I wouldn't feel a difference after a few rides because faster would become the new normal. Faster has become the new normal, but what I didn't expect was the precision handling that is so superior to my old bike it makes me smile as I ride because it just feels fun (especially descending!). The way it dances up climbs and carves down descents is what biking should be. No ride will be dull with the Tarmac!

Poor cranks .

I found the ride good the frame excellent the cranks were a poor design the spindle pitted after BB ,bearing cases rusted & caused pitted spindle axel. The bike is not finished off well ,for the cost . Cranks are rubbish . No pro team use them . Say no more . Poor after sales support . 6 month's to replace cranks. Not good enough.

Great Motivator

Bought my S-Works Tarmac Disc in April of 2018. It's a great bike and makes exploring the open road a lot of fun. It rides so smooth it motivates me to ride. While I like the Turbo Cotton tires the areas I ride have a lot of road debris and these tires are prone to puncture so I ride on the Turbo Pro 700-28.

The Ultimate Road Bike

Crashed and broke my S Works Venge...decided on an all around road machine in the SW Tarmac Disc. The best bike ever. Ride for hours. No regrets. This is the ultimate in comfort and beauty. Not one issue or complaint. Fast...aero...it is a sick bike and worth every single penny.

매우 만족스러운 최상급 자전거.

BMC SLR01 디스크 , 콜나고 C64 디스크와 고민하다가 최종구매했습니다. 스위스 감성과 이탈리아 감성을 뿌리칠수있는데는 테스트더베스트 시승식의 힘이 컸고 BMC처럼 모든 부품이 인터널 방식은 아니지만 내가 원하는 스템을 사용할수있는것 그리고 에스웍스 파워미터등이 포함됬던것 마지막으로 스페셜라이즈드 코리아 AS파트에 대한 신뢰감때문에 구매하게 됬습니다. 단점으론 크랭크암을 기존 170mm를 쓰는데 54사이즈를 구매하며 172.5mm를 강제로 써야했던점. 정션이 프레임이나 싯포스트에 들어가지않고 핸들바에 집어 넣어야하는점 외엔 다 만족스럽습니다.

ancora fili esterni?

bella bici, una vera top di gamma, doveva essere il mio regalo, ma peccato per il filo esterno sulla ruota anteriore avete fatto la venge con tutti i fili interni bellissima e non riesco proprio a capire il perchè la tarmac ha ancora i fili esterni, la forcella è gi? predisposta per il filo interno, non capisco proprio. peccato. p.s. ancora devo decidere per il regalo da farmi spero che a breve inserirete il filo interno.

Bike is great but I will have to sell...

I've had it 6 months and really like the ride. Unfortunately I have been trying to get the fit right. I need a zero offset seatpost and specialized doesn't sell one.

Absolutely love this bike!

After renting a new Sl6 Tarmac while on a business trip, I was surprised at how smooth and responsive it was. I road it through Red Rock Canyon in Nevada and realized it was nearly as smooth as my Roubaix Pro, but notably quicker and particularly when climbing. I bought one shortly thereafter and can't wait for the start of race season.
