The Tarmac SL8 frame set is unbeatable in terms of speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design provide an unmatched riding experience. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – what matters at the finish line is speed. To achieve race speed, a precise balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is required. Our Ride Science Team has conducted racing simulations based on real data and determined that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on key segments. It is a full 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
