Like You, Only Better.  When a road bike is right, it's little more than an extension of your body, an appendage that moves you across the landscape with shocking ease. And it's lean, efficient and sharp, like your corpus durus. (Right?) The Specialized Tarmac is like your body in all those ways and many more, but unlike your body it weighs a little over a kilogram and has a lifetime warranty.

Competitive road riders might be driven by the thrill of start lines, just as they might be driven by a solo climb up the backside of a deserted mountain pass, or a sprint with friends to a county sign. Across all types of roads, the competitive road rider seeks minimal weight, razor sharp handling, and exceptional efficiency. The Allez family delivers on each of these attributes, with the most advanced materials and design and perfectly tuned geometries proven in the world's biggest races, including the Tour de France.
