The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight construction deliver a riding quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and more than two decades of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever created; it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready?
Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine races; what matters at the finish line is 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 road bike ever built on critical routes. It is a full 16.6 seconds faster over 40 kilometers, 128 seconds faster in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
Now, the fastest road bike in the world is paired with the SRAM RED AXS groupset featuring power measurement – the lightest electronic groupset of all time – and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit – sharp design for razor-thin victories.
