The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics combined with low weight deliver a ride quality that once seemed unreachable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it’s not just the fastest Tarmac ever produced – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and lightness alone do not determine race outcomes – it all comes down to speed at the finish line. To achieve race speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is essential. 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 critical routes. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 kilometers, 128 seconds quicker in Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The fastest road bike in the world is now equipped 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 feature an ultra-lightweight Roval Rapide cockpit, designed for razor-sharp victories.
