Cuando desarrollamos la Tarmac Disc, no solo queríamos que fuera rápida. Queríamos que fuera rápida en todas partes, en subidas largas, planos ventosos, etapas de Grand Tour, carreras de fondo locales: diseñamos una bicicleta de carretera para ser la más completa que existe. ¿Cómo lo hicimos? Comenzamos con nuestro chasis Rider-First Engineered™ construido con 500 piezas para una calidad de conducción perfecta para cada talla, gracias a la tecnología aerodinámica es 45 segundos más rápida que la Tarmac SL5, y además es un 20% más ligera. Nada es más ligero, más rápido, y con mejor rendimiento.
Esta Tarmac viene con un montaje fiable que incluye cambios mecánicos Shimano 105 y frenos de disco hidráulicos, duraderas ruedas de disco DT R470 y sillín Power.
For the construction of the Tarmac, we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 9r carbon.
500 pieces creating 7 different sizes with the same tuned ride–that’s Rider-First Engineered™. We examine every ply of carbon on every frame size to ensure that all of our performance targets come through. To make sure you get the perfect ride, every frame gets a unique layup schedule with different ply arrangements, orientations, quantities of material in specific areas, and sometimes, even exclusive thicknesses and types of carbon itself.
Aerodynamics is the most important thing we can do to make you faster, but with the Tarmac, we added aero features without any cost to weight. Through development, areas were discovered where we could add aero for free—a new fork shape and dropped seatstays with aero tubes. The result? A Tarmac that’s approximately 30 seconds faster over 40 kilometers.
The updated the geometry is based 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.
