SPECIALIZED are celebrating the greatest sporting event on earth with their dynamic Torch collection.
Almost 3,000 years ago, the pinnacle of sport was celebrated with fire.
Specialized are now honouring the Gods of Sport by bringing the flame back to competition.
They are sparking the torch once again with a limited edition collection of fiery bikes and gear.
Select pieces have been designed to, literally, change colour as the intensity of your ride increases.
Below 22 centigrade, the paint reflects the warm, orange embers of fire, and as things heat up a striking yellow emerges.
The Tarmac Comp Torch Edition was born to perform.
Like the S-Works Tarmac iterations, it features a Rider-First Engineered™ design that that applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size.
This creates the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness, so every frame, regardless of size, performs just as they intended.
You’ll also find an identical, Grand-Tour-winning geometry, plus a FACT 10r carbon fiber construction that’s nearly mirrors what you’ll find under the likes of Peter Sagan and Alberto Contador.
For the spec, Specialized selected components that deliver the best bang for your buck, stiff, reliable DT Swiss R460 wheels, a mix of Shimano Ultegra 6800 and 105, and a bevy of Body Geometry components that maximize performance by providing the utmost in comfort.
