Victory in the 2010 Tour de France and three consecutive wins at the Tour of Flanders reveal the true intentions of the Tarmac. In summit finishes and sprints, where individual grams and tenths of a percent of stiffness count, the Tarmac rider is driven by speed and the thrill of competition.

WHAT:

High modulus carbon frame made from our most advanced carbon construction method.

WHY:

Gives our Tarmac the highest stiffnessto- weight ratio on the market, which makes for an absurdly light and fast bike.

HOW:

Divides frame into four monocoque sections—with carbon fibers running continuously from tube to tube within each section—for more precise optimization of tubes shapes, sizes, and joints.
