The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is incredibly fast. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight construction provide a ride quality that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever made, but also the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine races – at the finish line, it’s all about speed. To achieve race speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is necessary. Our Ride Science Team has determined through racing simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on crucial routes. It is a full 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker on the Milano-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. The fastest racing bike in the world is now equipped with the SRAM RED AXS groupset, which includes power measurement – the lightest electronic group ever – and a tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX II wheelset. All S-Works Tarmac SL8 models come with an ultralight Roval Rapide cockpit – razor-sharp design for razor-thin victories.
