The Tarmac SL8 is unmatched in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design create a riding experience that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – it ultimately comes down to speed at the finish line. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science team has conducted race simulations based on real data, discovering that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on key courses. It is a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds swifter on the Tourmalet.
