The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics combined with a lightweight design create a ride quality that once seemed unreachable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made but also the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready?
Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes; it’s all about speed when crossing the finish line. 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 road bike ever built on crucial segments. It is 16.6 seconds quicker over 40 kilometers, 128 seconds faster in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds swifter on the Tourmalet.
The fastest road bike in the world is now paired with the SRAM RED AXS complete group featuring power measurement, the lightest electronic groupset to date, and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit – a sharp design for razor-thin victories.
