The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design deliver a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – it’s the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready?
Aerodynamics and lightness alone don't win races – at the finish line, it's all about speed. To achieve race speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is essential. Our Ride Science Team discovered through racing simulations using 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 at 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 – along with a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come equipped with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit – designed for razor-sharp victories.
