Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Road Bike
The S-Works Tarmac SL8 redefines speed on the road, combining groundbreaking aerodynamics, unmatched lightweight design, and an unparalleled ride quality. Built from decades of racing innovation, this is not just the fastest Tarmac ever—it's the fastest race bike in the world. Equipped exclusively with premium SRAM Red eTap AXS components, an integrated power meter, and Roval Rapide CLX II wheels, the S-Works Tarmac SL8 is engineered for riders who demand absolute excellence.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unrivaled Aerodynamics
The SL8 sets a new aerodynamic standard, exceeding even the legendary Venge. Specialized’s revolutionary "Speed Sniffer" nose cone dramatically reduces drag by reshaping the leading edge of the head tube. Utilizing updated UCI guidelines, the SL8 features the narrowest, most aerodynamic seat post yet, providing unprecedented airflow management and speed enhancement.
Advanced Rider-First Engineering™
The Tarmac SL8’s Rider-First Engineered™ FACT 12r carbon frame delivers a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight ratio over the SL7. Each frame size is optimized individually, ensuring the same incredible handling, responsiveness, and ride comfort regardless of rider height or weight.
Lightest Frame Ever in Its Class
Leveraging groundbreaking insights from the Specialized Aethos, the SL8 achieves an astounding 685-gram frame weight—15% lighter than its predecessor—making it one of the lightest frames on the World Tour. Specialized achieved this by strategically removing unnecessary carbon layers, ensuring optimal stiffness without additional weight.
Premium SRAM RED eTap AXS Drivetrain & Power Meter
Experience seamless shifting precision with the SRAM Red eTap AXS wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain. Integrated with a precise SRAM Red power meter, riders can analyze performance data accurately, making every watt count and optimizing performance on race day or during intense training sessions.
Elite-Level Roval Rapide CLX II Wheels
These race-winning tubeless-ready carbon wheels are engineered for maximum aerodynamic efficiency and stability. Featuring varied depths (51mm front, 60mm rear), Roval Rapide CLX II wheels deliver uncompromising performance, enabling you to confidently tackle both crosswinds and high-speed descents.
Drivetrain and Shifting Performance
The S-Works Tarmac SL8 boasts the pinnacle of drivetrain technology: the SRAM RED eTap AXS 12-speed. Its 48/35T chainrings combined with a 10-33T cassette offer a versatile gearing range, perfect for conquering steep climbs, fast descents, and everything in between, all while maintaining crisp, instantaneous shifting.
Why Choose the S-Works Tarmac SL8?
The S-Works Tarmac SL8 isn’t just a bike—it's your competitive advantage. Whether sprinting for victory, climbing legendary ascents, or pushing personal limits, this bike delivers unmatched speed, comfort, and precision.
