The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design create a ride quality that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made—it's the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and a low weight alone do not win races; at the finish line, it's all about speed. Achieving race speed requires a precise balance of aerodynamics, lightweight construction, 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 built for critical segments. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 kilometers, 128 seconds quicker in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The fastest road bike in the world now features the SRAM RED AXS complete groupset with power measurement—the lightest electronic groupset ever—and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit—sharp design for razor-thin victories.
