The Tarmac SL8 is unbeatable in speed. The most advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design 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 made – it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are you ready? Aerodynamics and low weight alone do not win races – at the finish line, it’s all about speed. To achieve 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 racing bike ever built on the crucial segments. A full 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milan–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet.
