@@TJonesMTB Thanks for your reply. I know the Tarmac very well. I rode a S-works Sl4 for 6 years and I ride a Sl6 S-works at the moment. I am looking forward for this disc version that will be good. I have been told. ;-)

Hi Tyler. What is the comfort like on the new Tarmac Pro? I'm considering the Tarmac Pro...or the Roubaix Pro once it arrives in Australia. Thanks.

[@TJonesMTB]

David, I don’t have a ton of reference to be honest. Compared to the two prior Tarmacs I owned, this one if fairly comfortable, but keep in mind it is still a pure race bike. I’ve had a few long days on it with no comfort issues. I SERIOUSLY considered the Roubaix and the only reason I went with the Tarmac is because when purchasing I was hoping to start to dabble in road racing(i race mtbs, have done 1 race on tarmac so far; was awesome). The Pro level Roubaix is awesome with the Brain 2.0 being adjustable. If I didn’t hope to line up at some races, I would have gone with the Roubaix. Not helpful but either choice is awesome. Just comes down to whether you plan on racing or put more value in overall comfort. The Roubaix is still a worthy race weapon for a majority of categories and courses. High level racers will definitely want the Tarmac. Roubaix is also a bit more flexible with more tire clearance and such. Hopefully some of that helps! Cheers!

Any way you can eyeball what the weight would be without everything on it? None of my local shops have this bike so I’m doing my best to get info 😬 I will say it’s gorgeous, but interested in the weight of it with the new Force group since this bike may be in my future

[@TJonesMTB]

I would guess around 16lbs without all the accessories. Next time I have it at the shop I’ll try to get a raw weight for you. You should see the bike in the sun. The paint is crazy. It was raining/snowing in this video so you can’t see the full depth of the paint. Ive only had two rides on it and have really liked the Force group.

[@ProfessorSteez]

Tyler Jones thanks for the response. Great to hear though, the paint definitely looks awesome even in this so I’m sure in the sun it’s gorgeous.
