Inside Tech
Thanks to trickle-down
technology including a 1.5 inch over sized lower bearing and over sized
chain stays this year's Tarmac is nearly identical in performance and
quality to its S-Works counterpart. The Tarmac Pro features a
proprietary FACT crank and bottom bracket that weights just 623 grams
(over 100 grams less than Shimano Dura-Ace) and is the stiffest crank on
the market.
"With the Roubaix bicycle having won the Paris-Roubaix race, comfort is no longer a luxury, but a performance advantage."

Designs for Women
From the ground up design,
engineering, and innovation. Every detail is designed with your
ride in mind. No matter what you're looking for when your tires
meet the blacktop Specialized's road bikes for women are built to
perfectly fit and compliment your riding style. All designs start
with real-world research and testing and end with customized
performance. From the special tubing dimensions and custom carbon
lay-ups down to the smooth rolling 700cc tires and short reach
handlebars Specialized makes sure that you get the most out of your
ride.
TARMAC
 | NOTHING IS LIGHTER AND STIFFER In the 2008 Tour de France the Tarmac proved itself light enough to win the King of Mountains and 3rd place overall under Bernhard Kohl and in 2007 it was responsive enough to take the Tour's green sprinter's jersey. Lending proof to our claim that no bike is lighter and stiffer. |
ALLEZ
 | OVER 20 YEARS AGO Specialized named their first performance road machine after the French word for "go". With an entirely redesigned alloy frame reminiscent of the Tarmac, the new Allez delivers the light weight, efficiency, and precision handling demanded by enthusiast road riders everywhere; regardless of how they say "fast." |
ROUBAIX
 | TOM BOONEN PROVED IT when he won the punishing Paris-Roubaix with room to spare...nothing is smoother and faster than Specialized's new ROUBAIX! When the new Roubaix isn't silencing the cobbles and stealing the podium of races by the same name it's busy turning your next 100 miles into the "Big Easy." |
SECTEUR
 |
THE ALL NEW SECTEUR pairs the Classics-winning geometry of the Roubaix with a more accessible aluminum frame design giving recreational and enthusiast riders license to the most epic rides. Featuring E5 and A1 Premium Aluminum frames, FACT carbon forks with shock-absorbing Zertz inserts and Endurance Road geometry, the Secteur puts efficiency, reliability, and comfort above all else. |
SIRUS
 | IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE ONE BIKE the Sirrus is it. Built for the best balance of speed and control, every FACT carbon or A1 Premium Aluminum Sirrus combines the low weight, high comfort, and easy speed of Specialized's performance road bikes with the enhanced ergonomics and stability of a flat handlebar. |
RUBY
 | PERFORMANCE ROAD
Performance optimized for speed-hungry riders and racers looking for
the lightest, fastest, and most efficient women's bike on the
road. The FACT carbon Ruby will satisfy your addiction for brutal
climbs, thrilling descents, and high mileage. |
DOLCE
 | RECREATIONAL ROAD Wheatever pace you prefer, the Dolce gives you all the function of a racing rig with more stability, comfort, and ease. From fledgling roadies to the social rider you can do it all with one sweet and smooth ride. |
