If you plan on racing a Grand Tour this summer sure go rock that S-Works. But if youre on the hunt for a glorious ride that can smash both a local crit and your friends on the weekends youll feel right at home on the Tarmac Disc Expert.

In order cut some grams from the Tarmac but to also ensure that its stiff and compliant in exactly the right places we took major steps to improving our Rider-First Engineered™ technology. From different layup schedules and materials to visibly different forks we scrutinized every single aspect of the Tarmac to ensure youre getting the perfect ride. With this revamp we also updated the geometry basing it 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.

And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. Thats why we designed a seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesnt happen dropped the seatstays and altered the seat tube shape. We also added tyre clearance up to 30mm which translates to a 28mm Turbo Cotton on a Roval C 38 Disc wheel. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance increased traction and more comfort. Altogether these additions still have the Tarmac riding like a true race-machine but it also takes a bit of the sting out of road imperfections. Youll thank us on your next long ride.

But why disc brakes? The real question is why not? They offer superior braking power and modulation work exceptionally well in wet weather and offer a very very minor weight addition. All this means that you have more control and can go faster with more confidence.

We also know however that aerodynamic improvements are the most important thing we can do to make you faster. Our Bora-Hansgrohe and Quick-Step Floors Pro Tour riders after all are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this the aero goal was to discover where we could essentially add aero for free by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month iterative process three areas were discovered where we could do this—a new fork shape dropped seatstays with aero tubes and a D-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A bike thats approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category.

The build spec on this Tarmac Disc is value-packed featuring Shimano Ultegra mechanical shifting Shimano hydraulic disc brakes a Roval C 38 Disc carbon fibre wheelset.

    • Featuring our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary climbing responsiveness and descending prowess youd expect from a Tarmac. The FACT 10r frame is the perfect blend of value and performance.
    • Shimanos no-fuss Ultegra shifting with hydraulic disc brakes provides precise shifting and plenty of stopping power.
    • Yep thats right—carbon wheels on an Expert-level bike. The Roval C38 Disc carbon wheels bring performance to the masses. Theyre lightweight durable and ready for just about anything.
