Specialized Tarmac Disc Sport

The Tarmac, in all its latest versions, is a brilliant fast road all-rounder. The Disc Sport brings the tech from the flagship framesets, together with all the components you need - nothing more, nothing less - to make this performance more accesible.

The carbon frameset uses FACT9r carbon, not quite as light as the S-Works or Pro models, but still stiff and responsive, and constructed with the same ride tuned layup that ensures crisp handling and surprising levels of comfort across all sizes.

From the 105 hydraulic disc groupset to the DT Swiss wheelset everything is designed to perform well, but eminently upgradeable over time should you wish to take things to the next level.

We're pleased to see the inclusion of the S-Works carbon seatpost too, again tuned to ensure ride comfort, with a skinny 27.2mm diameter, whilst remaining light and strong.
