The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design deliver a ride quality that seems unreachable. 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 – what matters at the finish line is speed. Achieving race speed requires a precise balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has discovered through race simulations using real-world data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on critical routes. It is a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The world's fastest racing bike now features the SRAM RED AXS groupset with power measurement – the lightest electronic group ever – paired with a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-lightweight Roval Rapide cockpit – precision design for razor-thin victories.
