Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro - SRAM Force eTap AXS: The World's Fastest Race Bike
The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro - SRAM Force eTap AXS is the pinnacle of racing technology, combining aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and world-class ride quality. With over two decades of development, this bike is engineered to be the fastest race bike ever created, making it a true competitor for any professional cyclist. Whether you're tackling a 40km time trial or climbing the legendary Tourmalet, the Tarmac SL8 is built for ultimate performance.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Aerodynamics
The Tarmac SL8 takes aerodynamics to the next level with its Speed Sniffer nose cone and sharp head tube design. This innovative design ensures clean air flows around the bike, optimizing drag reduction. With the narrowest aero seat post ever made, the Tarmac SL8 ensures that dirty air around your legs is streamlined, giving you the advantage of superior aerodynamic efficiency. It’s more aero than the Venge, ensuring you cut through the wind like never before.
Designed Beyond Gender
Our Rider-First Engineering philosophy ensures that every rider—regardless of gender—can enjoy the advantages of the Tarmac SL8. While traditional bikes often create gender-based distinctions, we believe that rider size and style matter more. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or an aspiring racer, the Tarmac SL8 ensures a personalized ride tailored to your unique needs.
Stiffness, Compliance, and Speed
The Tarmac SL8 delivers a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight ratio over the previous SL7, resulting in precise handling, exceptional pedal efficiency, and a comfortable ride. The frame delivers 6% more compliance, smoothing out rough roads and offering a supple ride. Tarmac’s geometry and 32mm tire clearance ensure that this bike can be adapted to different riding conditions, whether you're tackling smooth tarmac or rougher terrain.
Lightweight Frame with Maximum Aero
At just 7.44 kg (16 lb, 6.4 oz), the Tarmac SL8 is built with a FACT 10r carbon frame that’s 15% lighter than its predecessor, the SL7. This lightweight frame is designed to offer maximum aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing strength or rigidity, making it the perfect race companion for climbing, sprints, and long rides. The frame’s geometry efficiently carries load, eliminating the need for additional carbon stiffness layers.
Performance with SRAM Force eTap AXS
The SRAM Force eTap AXS groupset delivers lightning-fast electronic shifting and unparalleled performance, while the integrated power meter ensures you can track and optimize your performance. Paired with the Roval Rapide CL II tubeless-ready wheelset, you get the perfect combination of speed, efficiency, and comfort. The Roval Rapide Cockpit with integrated handlebars and stem further reduces weight and improves aerodynamics.
