The S-Works Tarmac SL8 frame set is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design create a riding experience that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made but also 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. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, weight, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team conducted racing simulations based on real-world data and found that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever constructed on crucial segments. It's a staggering 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
