The S-Works Tarmac SL8 frame set is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design offer a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever created – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? However, aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – what matters at the finish line is speed. Achieving race speed requires a precise balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has conducted race simulations based on real-world data, revealing that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on crucial routes. It’s a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 kilometers, 128 seconds quicker at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
