The Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. Its advanced aerodynamics and light weight create a riding experience that seemed 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 light weight alone do not determine race outcomes – speed is what matters at the finish line. Achieving race speed requires a specific balance of aerodynamics, weight, stiffness, and compliance. Our Ride Science Team has conducted race simulations using real data, revealing that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on crucial courses. It is a whole 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds quicker at Milan-Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
