Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design provide a riding experience that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever; it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and light 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, through racing simulations using real data, has discovered that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on critical courses, clocking 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker at Milano-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster at Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: At our company, we focus on the surfaces that truly matter aerodynamically, not just the ones that look good. With this philosophy, we have created our most aerodynamic racing bike to date. And yes, it is more aerodynamic than the Venge. The newly designed head tube of the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow better because the front surface tapers to a sharper point. We call it the Speed Sniffer, and with it, the streamlined profile of the head tube generates significantly less air resistance. Additionally, in line with the new UCI regulations for the Tarmac SL8, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seat post ever, allowing the fast-moving turbulent air around the legs to flow more cleanly. A bike with a sense of victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMAL AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the Aethos development and effortlessly reaches the UCI weight limit, all while maintaining a complete aero setup. Our team has created an incredible frame weighing just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other bike in the World Tour. Although Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos on a Tour stage, which has a frame weight of only 585 grams, that doesn’t quite count. The new technical possibilities have enabled us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear end of the Tarmac frame, as the new frame shape distributes loads so efficiently that additional carbon layers for increased stiffness are no longer necessary.
