Its advanced aerodynamics and low weight provide a riding experience that seems unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only 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 counts at the finish line. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has found through race simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on key routes. It is a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: At our company, the surfaces that truly matter are those with real aerodynamic qualities, 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 of the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow better, with a sharper front surface. We call it the Speed Sniffer, and it allows the streamlined cross-section of the head tube to generate significantly less air resistance. Furthermore, in line with the new UCI rules for the Tarmac SL8, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seat post ever. This allows the swiftly moving turbulent air to flow away cleanly around the legs. A bike designed with a sense for victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMAL AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the development of the Aethos and effortlessly meets the UCI weight limit, all with a complete aero setup. Our team has developed an incredible frame weighing just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other bike in the World Tour. The fact that Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos, which has a frame weight of only 585 grams, during a Tour stage somehow doesn't count. The new technical possibilities enabled us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear, as the new frame shape distributes the load so efficiently that additional carbon layers for increased stiffness are no longer necessary.
