Introducing the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8

As soon as you hit the road with the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8, you notice the difference. This is not just any racing bike; it is the finest symphony of speed, stiffness, and smoothness. With its impressive track record in the professional world, you know you have something special in your hands.

Optimal aerodynamics and lightweight design

The Tarmac SL8 sets a new standard in the world of racing bikes. Thanks to the innovative aerodynamics, you are faster than ever. Every curve and corner of this bike is designed for speed. The refined 'Speed Sniffer' nose cone and a highly sharp front of the head tube minimize air resistance, while the ultra-light frame of 685 grams ensures unmatched lightness. All this combined with the applied Aethos technologies delivers impressive performance on any course.

Superior stiffness for maximum control

In designing the Tarmac SL8, the ultimate balance between stiffness and weight was achieved, resulting in 33% more stiffness-to-weight ratio than its predecessor, the SL7. This means you have more control and responsiveness with every pedal stroke, which is essential for both climbing and sprints.

Comfort in every ride

Unique to the Tarmac SL8 is the increased flexibility in the saddle area. You enjoy 6% more flex than previous models, ensuring a smooth ride over even the roughest road surfaces. This riding experience, combined with the proven geometry and tire clearance of the SL7, provides effortless adaptation to various road conditions, from smooth asphalt to gravelly mountain paths.
