The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics combined with a lightweight design create a riding experience that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it’s not only the fastest Tarmac ever made – it’s the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not win races – what counts at the finish line is speed. Achieving race speed requires a delicate balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science team has determined through racing simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever created on critical routes. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker at Milano-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The world’s fastest road bike is now paired with the SRAM RED AXS groupset featuring power measurement – the lightest electronic group ever – along with a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit – designed for razor-sharp victories.
