Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 - Shimano Dura-Ace Di2: The World’s Fastest Race Bike
When it comes to race bikes, speed is the ultimate currency. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8, with its blend of aerodynamics, lightweight, and legendary ride quality, is engineered to crush records and dominate the competition. Designed with cutting-edge technology and unparalleled performance, the Tarmac SL8 is not just the fastest Tarmac ever made—it’s the fastest road bike in the world.
Key Benefits for Riders
Aero Performance, Unmatched Speed
The Tarmac SL8 is more than just a race bike—it's a speed machine. It boasts the most aerodynamic design ever created by Specialized, with a Speed Sniffer nose cone and a meticulously shaped head tube that reduces drag and maximizes efficiency. By refining the leading edge and optimizing airflow, this bike cuts through the air like never before, ensuring that every watt of power is used efficiently. The Tarmac SL8 is faster than the Venge, making it the ultimate choice for sprinters and time trialists alike.
Beyond Gender: Uniting Riders
With the Tarmac SL8, Specialized challenges outdated norms by offering a bike designed for performance, not gender. Through advanced engineering and rider-specific design, the Tarmac SL8 ensures that every rider, regardless of gender or size, gets the same world-class performance. No more gender-based limitations—just performance where it matters.
Precision, Comfort, and Control
Stiffness, handling, and comfort are all expertly balanced in the Tarmac SL8. With a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight over the SL7, it delivers unmatched responsiveness, whether you're sprinting out of a corner or conquering tough climbs. The frame also provides 6% more compliance, allowing you to ride comfortably over rough roads while maintaining full control. This is a bike that not only rides fast but rides with incredible stability, precision, and comfort, even during long, grueling races.
Lightweight and Ready for Anything
The Tarmac SL8 is the lightest bike in its class, with a frame weighing just 685 grams—15% lighter than the SL7. Every component is meticulously designed to shave off weight without sacrificing strength or aerodynamics. The result is a bike that performs well on every type of terrain, from the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix to the steepest climbs in the Tour de France.
Unrivaled Components for Peak Performance
As expected from the S-Works lineup, the Tarmac SL8 is equipped with the best components available. The Shimano Dura-Ace 9200 series Di2 groupset ensures fast, smooth shifting with the added precision of a dual-sided power meter, giving you the data you need to perform at your peak. The Roval Rapide CLX II tubeless-ready wheelset, paired with a Roval Rapide cockpit, provides the perfect balance of aerodynamics, strength, and weight to keep you flying down the road with efficiency and ease.
