The Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable fast. The most advanced aerodynamics and low weight result in a ride quality that seemed unattainable. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever – it is the fastest road bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not decide races – at the finish line, it’s all about speed. To reach race speed, a very specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is necessary. Our Ride Science Team has discovered through race simulations based on real data that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on the crucial routes. A full 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milan–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
