The Specialized Tarmac and Amira models are pure and unbridled race machines that will take the men’s and women’s team to victory. They climb effortlessly, descend confidently, and sprint ferociously. The FACT frame is one of  the lightest, stiffest that Specialized makes and it shows as soon as you push on the pedals. There’s a reason Specialized furnishes the weapons of choice for the Russ Hay’s / Accent Inns p/b Scotiabank Cycling Team.
