Whether it's winning the Tour de France or a city-limit sprint, the 2012 Specialized Tarmac Base Road Bike is made for racing, with its powerful acceleration and razor-sharp handling. The FACT IS 8r Carbon Fiber Frame and FACT Carbon Fork help to create one of the lightest, stiffest and fastest bikes on the road. The 2012 Tarmac Base features Shimano Tiagra 10 Speed components and the DT Axis 2.0 wheels keeping the performance and durability up and the cost down.

- New 10-speed Shimano Tiagra STI shifters provide great value and high-performance
