The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design deliver a riding quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever produced – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready?
Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – speed at the finish line is what counts. Achieving race speed requires a precise balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has conducted racing simulations based on real data, revealing that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on key courses. It is an impressive 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
The world's fastest racing bike is now paired with the SRAM RED AXS complete group featuring power measurement – the lightest electronic group ever – and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come with an ultra-lightweight Roval Rapide cockpit – a razor-sharp design for razor-thin victories.
