2015 Tarmac Rider-First Engineered™

[durianriders]

Just over 4 months finished into the year and 2015 stock is arriving!

Competition from Giant must be a factor. Looks like a great bike. Look forward to test riding one.

I had an opportunity to ride the S-Works Tarmac for about 3 hours at a demo yesterday.  What a huge improvement over the SL4 platform.  I'm a 6'0" 190lb rider riding a 56 and I enjoyed how very responsive yet docile the road feel was.  I purchased a Venge over the SL4, and think I made the right choice.  This new Tarmac would definitely have me questioning that choice a year ago.

Then it was "aero is everything". Now its "rider first engineered". Marketing.

@ 0:53 Where is that nice descending twisty road?

[aMegaMaxProductions]

Is this only for the S-Works tarmac or standard as well?

i think theres a flaw again in this design, they mentioned different carbon layups for every size, so a 6'0 170lbs rider cant ride a 54 because hes to heavy for that size? his stats are designed for a 56 frame? fabio aru and nibali can ride a 54 because they are whippets. i have a friend, 5'10 210 lbs, has the new sworks tarmac rider first engineered bs. he says he feels the new tarmac frame is like gonna crumble beneath him. perhaps specialized should have a new size chart with weight restrictions on the new tarmac rider first engineered.

Why are these guys testing bikes that look like they just came off the production line? and why are these young, new grad looking 'engineers' talking about them like they just worked out that they are good..."oh yeah so our marketing hook is totally
