The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics combined with a lightweight design delivers a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever created – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – at the finish line, it is all about speed. Achieving race speed requires a specific 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 key routes. It is a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster in the Milano–Sanremo race, and 20 seconds quicker on the Tourmalet.
