The Tarmac SL8 is unbeatably fast. The most advanced aerodynamics and light weight result in a ride 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?Aerodynamics and light weight alone do not win races - speed is what matters at the finish line. To achieve race speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is necessary. Our Ride Science Team discovered through race simulations using real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever built on crucial routes. 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milan–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster up the Tourmalet.
