Its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight design deliver a ride quality that once 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 low weight alone do not determine race outcomes – it’s all about speed at the finish line. To achieve race-ready speed, a specific balance of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and compliance is necessary. Our Ride Science Team has conducted race simulations based on real data and discovered that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever built on crucial courses, being 16.6 seconds quicker over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milano–Sanremo, and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet. AERO-AVANTGARDE: At our company, the surfaces that truly matter for aerodynamics are not always the most visually appealing. With this philosophy, we have created our most aerodynamic road bike to date. And yes, it is more aerodynamic than the Venge. The newly designed head tube of the Tarmac SL8 maintains airflow more effectively, as the front surface narrows to a sharper point. We call it the Speed Sniffer, and its streamlined head tube cross-section generates significantly less air resistance. Additionally, in line with the new UCI regulations for the Tarmac SL8, we have developed the narrowest and most aerodynamic Specialized seat post ever. This allows the fast-moving turbulent air around the legs to flow off more smoothly. A bike designed with a sense of victory. MINIMAL WEIGHT, MAXIMAL AERO: The Tarmac SL8 leverages insights from the development of the Aethos, easily meeting the UCI weight limit, even with a complete aero setup. Our team has crafted an incredible frame weighing just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than all other World Tour bikes. It is worth noting that Kasper Asgreen rode our Aethos on a Tour stage, which has a frame weight of only 585 grams, but this is an exception. The new technical possibilities enabled us to optimize the weight of the down tube, seat tube, and rear end for the Tarmac, as the new frame shape distributes the load so efficiently that additional carbon layers for extra stiffness are no longer necessary.
