The new Tarmac is designed to go fast, there's no if's, and's, or but's about that.
With a lightweight, Rider-First Engineered™ frame, it delivers the best-possible ride characteristics, no matter the size. So no matter what you have planned for your new Tarmac, it's ready to help you achieve your goals—PRs, KOMs, or podium top-steps. One bike to rule them all.
While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac’s development, weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. With the new Tarmac, the design philosophy was to keep it at, or below, the UCI weight limit out of the box, with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. The Fact 9r frame weighs a mere 2.2 lbs, without giving up a gram of aero, stiffness or ride quality.
Continuing the quest to develop the perfect race bike, the Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy ensures that the new Tarmac is the most balanced, best handling Tarmac yet—no matter the size. With an army of the world’s best test riders from three World Tour Teams, changes were made to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometers on the road.
