The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design create a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – 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’s all about speed. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has discovered through racing simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on key segments. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The fastest racing bike in the world is now paired with the SRAM RED AXS complete group with power measurement – the lightest electronic group ever – and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-lightweight Roval Rapide cockpit – sharp design for razor-thin victories.
