Remember the Venge Aero road bike built by Specialized Bicycle Components in collaboration with McLaren? Well, the two companies have done it again, launching the S-Works McLaren Tarmac, a limited edition bicycle priced at €20,000 ($27,227).
Using McLaren’s carbon fiber expertise, the S-Works McLaren Tarmac frame and fork feature a unique carbon layup schedule that has resulted in a 10 percent weight savings over the standard S-Works Tarmac.
The rankset, custom AeroFly handlebars, and CLX40 carbon tubular wheelset also benefit from a new carbon layup that ensure both complete performance and maximum weight savings.
The bike also features a custom colorway, co-developed with McLaren and painted in their exclusive McLaren Special Operations Centre in Woking, Surrey UK.
Only 250 units will be made, each equipped with a pair of custom-made S-Works Road Shoes and an S-Works Prevail helmet, both painted to match the frame. Furthermore, every S-Works McLaren Tarmac bike will be built to the individual specifications of the rider based upon the included Body Geometry Fit consultation.
