Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, light weight, and ride comfort that was 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 racing bike, made even faster with the groundbreaking aerodynamics of the brand new Roval Rapide CLX III wheels.
Aerodynamics or light weight alone are not enough to win races - speed is what matters. To achieve that speed, a no-compromise combination of aerodynamics, light weight, stiffness, and flexibility is needed. Through race simulations using real data, our Ride Science team knows that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike ever on the courses that matter - 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster over Milan-San Remo, and 20 seconds faster over the legendary Tourmalet climb.
