The Specialized Tarmac SL8 is a bicycle that achieves an extraordinary fusion of aerodynamics, lightness and quality of handling, something that seemed unattainable before. After eight generations and more than 20 years of innovation, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever created, but also the fastest racing bike on the planet.
Neither aerodynamic nor lightness alone guarantee victory in a race: the essential is speed. Reaching it requires an impeccable combination of aerodynamics, low weight, stiffness and comfort. Thanks to simulations based on real competition data, our Ride Science team has checked that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest bike on the routes that really count: 16.6 seconds faster in 40 km, 128 seconds faster in Milan-San Remo and 20 seconds faster by conquering the iconic climb of the Tourmalet.
