Specialized S-Works Tarmac Disc review

Sep 2018 · Peter Stuart

Proof that disc brakes can make an already excellent bike even better

Highs
  • Fantastic integration of disc brakes

  • Equipped for versatile terrain

  • Impressively light and a benchmark in handling terms

Lows
  • Not much

  • Although the 'Pro' tier version offers better value

The Specialized Tarmac Pro reveals me for the fraud I am: early review

May 2018 · Matthew Loveridge

I introduced the bike in my detailed first look so I won’t bore you by repeating myself, but suffice to say it’s a light and lovely carbon bicycle that’s extremely pretty, and ridiculously pleasant to ride, regardless of your abilities.. .
