The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design create a ride quality that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not win races – speed is what matters at the finish line. To achieve race speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, rigidity, and compliance is essential. Our Ride Science Team has discovered through race simulations using real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on critical routes. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker at Milano-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The world’s fastest road bike now features the SRAM RED AXS 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 with an ultra-light Roval Rapide cockpit, boasting a razor-sharp design for hairline victories.
