Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, light weight and ride comfort previously thought impossible. After eight generations and more than two decades of development, it is more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it is the world's fastest race bike. Ready for the race?

Aerodynamics or lightweight alone are not enough to win races - speed is what matters. To achieve that speed, a uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, light weight, stiffness, and flexibility is required. Through race simulations with real data, our Ride Science team knows that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike ever on the routes that matter - 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster over Milan-San Remo, and 20 seconds faster over the legendary climb of the Tourmalet.
