Richard's Bikes

Whether it's QuickStep taking the podium at Tour of Flanders or Saxo Bank at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tarmac® proves itself to be the best handling, most high-performance bike on the road, time and time again. Thanks to the integration of critical components, an extremely rigid FACT carbon frame and proprietary Body Geometry extras, we can proudly say that nothing is lighter and stiffer.

- Specialized puts its championship-winning blend of speed and light weight in the new FACT IS S-Works Tarmac SL3 11r carbon frame with incredibly stiff oversized BB and 1.5" lower headset bearing.
- Body Geometry Toupe saddle features a carbon reinforced shell and hollow titanium rails for balanced stiffness and compliance on longer rides.
- New ultralight Roval Rapide SL 45 wheelset with carbon/alloy hybrid rims for low aerodynamic drag with the durability of an alloy brake track.
- FACT full carbon monocoque fork with uni-weave finish integrates with the frame using an oversized race to deliver enhanced steering precision.
- S-Works SL classic-bend carbon handlebars offer more versatile hand positioning in an optimized blend of durability and light weight.
- 3D-forged alloy stem with carbon caps and titanium hardware for pure performance.
- FACT carbon Pave seatpost uses a Zertz insert to minimize road vibrations for greater comfort.
- S-Works oversized BB FACT carbon crankset combines high strength and light weight for unparalleled efficiency and power transfer.
- Mavic’s Cosmic Carbone SLR wheelset uses a deep profile rim with carbon spokes for wheels that are feather light, lightning fast, and super tough.
