Few bikes invoke podium dreams and longing like our Tarmac, and with the Tarmac Elite, you get your slice of the Tarmac performance lineage at a price that's more than favorable. You'll also find a Grand-Tour-winning geometry, plus a FACT 9r carbon fiber construction.

For the spec, we selected components that deliver reliable performance, like durable DT R460 wheels, a mix of Shimano Ultegra 8000 and Praxis, and a bevy of Body Geometry components that maximize performance by providing the utmost in comfort.

  • The FACT 9r carbon frame combines the lightweight performance and compliance of our top-end carbon production methods with a Grand-Tour-winning geometry that begs for you to go faster.
  • FACT carbon fork with a tapered construction provides incredible front end stiffness and steering response for instantaneous accelerations and high-speed descents.
  • Significantly lighter than comparable wheelsets in its class, these tough DT R460 wheels offer tremendous value in one smooth-rolling package.
