The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design deliver a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made—it is 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 precise balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has discovered through race simulations using real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on crucial segments: it is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The fastest road bike in the world now features the SRAM RED AXS complete group with power measurement—the lightest electronic group ever made—and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models are equipped with an ultra-lightweight Roval Rapide cockpit—its razor-sharp design is made for narrow victories.
