Specialized Tarmac Expert

The Tarmac Expert is a dedicated race bike designed for riders who prioritize speed, handling, and efficiency. It excels in competitive settings like local crits or road races, but its refined geometry also makes it a capable choice for long, intense training rides where you want a responsive, high-performance feel.

Yes, the frame offers clearance for tires up to 30 mm wide. This allows you to run slightly wider rubber for better comfort and grip on rougher road surfaces without sacrificing the bike's aerodynamic performance.

Yes, the wheelset included with the Tarmac Expert is tubeless-ready. This gives you the flexibility to convert to a tubeless setup, which can help reduce the risk of flats and allow you to run lower tire pressures for a smoother ride.

Rider-First Engineering ensures that every frame size provides the same consistent handling and stiffness characteristics. Whether you are on the smallest or largest frame size, the bike will feel equally responsive and stable, avoiding the common issue where smaller frames feel too stiff and larger ones feel too flexy.

The bike is equipped with an 11-speed Shimano Ultegra groupset featuring a largest rear cog of 30 teeth. This provides a versatile range of gears that is well-suited for fast, flat terrain while still offering enough low-end range to handle steep climbs comfortably.

Yes, the Tarmac Expert features integrated cabling. This not only gives the bike a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic but also contributes to the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the frame.
