The S-Works Tarmac SL8 frame set is unbeatable in terms of 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 created – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not win races – 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 discovered through race simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on critical segments. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster at the Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: For us, aerodynamics are about the surfaces that truly matter, not just those that look good. With this philosophy, we have created our most aerodynamic racing bike ever. Yes, it is more aerodynamic than the Venge. The newly designed head tube of the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow better, as the front surface tapers more sharply. We refer to it as the Speed Sniffer, and with it, the streamlined cross-section of the head tube creates significantly less air resistance. Furthermore, in accordance with the new UCI regulations for the Tarmac SL8, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seatpost to date, allowing the rapidly moving turbulent air around the legs to flow cleanly away. A bike with a sense of victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the development of the Aethos and easily meets the UCI weight limit, all while featuring a complete aero setup. Our team has developed an incredible frame that weighs just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other bike on the World Tour. Although Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos, which has a frame weight of only 585 grams, that doesn't really count. The new technical possibilities enabled us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear end of the Tarmac as the new frame shape distributes load so efficiently that additional carbon layers for greater stiffness are no longer necessary.
