Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design offer a riding experience that once seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it’s not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – it’s the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine races – what matters at the finish line is speed. Achieving race-speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has determined through race simulations using real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever created on critical segments. It is 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: For us, the important aerodynamics lie in the surfaces that truly matter, not just those that look good. With this philosophy, we have created our most aerodynamic road bike ever. And yes, it is more aerodynamic than the Venge. The newly designed head tube on the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow more effectively, as the front surface tapers to a sharper point. We call it the Speed Sniffer, and it produces significantly less drag thanks to the sleeker cross-section of the head tube. Additionally, in line with the new UCI regulations, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seat post ever for the Tarmac SL8, resulting in cleaner airflow around the legs. A bike with an instinct for victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMAL AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the development of the Aethos and easily meets the UCI weight limit, and this with a complete aero setup. Our team has developed an astonishing frame weighing just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than all other World Tour bikes. The fact that Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos in a Tour stage, which has a frame weight of only 585 grams, doesn’t really count. The new technical possibilities enabled us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear end on the Tarmac, as the new frame shape distributes loads so efficiently that additional carbon layers for increased stiffness are no longer necessary.
