With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

But when you need a bike that's ready to annihilate the competition on your training rides and local races the new Tarmac Expert is pretty damn hard to beat.
For the construction we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction and layup of our new FACT 10r carbon. It's the most advanced layup schedule we've ever madethe shape schedule and material optimization allowed us to shed nearly 200 grams. That's right a 20% reduction in frame weightthe perfect recipe for your next pr.
We started by further improving our rider-first engineered technology to ensure that the new Tarmac is stiff and compliant in exactly the right places all while shedding some serious weight. With this revamp we also updated the geometrybasing it on countless retl data points and professional rider input. This enabled us to develop a performance road geometry that perfects the combination of a responsive front-end and short wheelbase delivering instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.
And while stiffness aids in the aforementioned compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. That's why we designed a seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesn't happen dropped the seatstays and altered the seat tube shape. We also added tyre clearance up to 30mm which translates to a 28mm turbo cotton on a Roval SLX 24 rim. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance increased traction and more comfort. Altogether these additions still have the Tarmac riding like a true race-machine but they just take a bit of the sting out of those road imperfections. You'll thank us on your next long ride.
And while this is all great we know that aerodynamics are the most important thing we can do to make you faster. Both our bora-hansgrohe and quick-step floors Pro tour riders after all are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this the aero goal was to discover where we could essentially "add aero for free" by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month iterative process three areas were discovered where we could do thisa new fork shape dropped seatstays with aero tubes and a d-shaped seatpost and seat tube. The result? A bike that's approximately 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category.
This Tarmac comes ready to race out of the box featuring a crisp Shimano Ultegra 8000 groupset resplendent Roval cl 50 carbon wheelset and a sublime toup Expert gel saddle.
