Its advanced aerodynamics and low weight result in a riding quality that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever created – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Speed is what matters at the finish line, and aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine races. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance between aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has discovered 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 on 40 km, 128 seconds faster in the Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: For us, aerodynamics are about the surfaces that genuinely matter, not just those that look the best. With this philosophy, we have created our most aerodynamic racing bike to date. Yes, it is more aerodynamic than the Venge. The newly designed head tube of the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow better because its front surface tapers more sharply. We call it the Speed Sniffer, and this streamlined head tube shape generates significantly less air resistance. Additionally, in accordance with the new UCI rules, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seat post ever for the Tarmac SL8, allowing the turbulent air moving around the legs to flow away more cleanly. A bike with an eye for victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the Aethos development and easily meets the UCI weight limit 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 on the World Tour. It's worth mentioning that Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos, with a frame weighing only 585 grams, during a Tour stage, but that hardly counts. The new technical possibilities allowed us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear sections of the Tarmac, as the new frame shape distributes loads so efficiently that additional layers of carbon for increased stiffness are no longer necessary.
