The Tarmac SL8 is unmatched in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design provide a riding experience that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and over twenty years of development, it is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – it ultimately comes down to speed at the finish line. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has conducted race simulations using real data, uncovering that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on key segments. It is a remarkable 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker in the Milan-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
