S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset | Gloss Red Sky

Aerodynamics + Lightweight + Ride Quality = FAST

Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible.
After eight generations and over two decades of development, it’s more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it’s the world’s fastest race bike. Your legs up for it?

Lightest on the World Tour

Ride Quality

33% Improved Stiffness-to-Weight &
6% Smoother. Goes Like Hell, Rides Like Heaven

Aero In Everything

We’re putting aero where it matters - the leading edge - not just where it looks good. In the process we’ve created our most aerodynamic road bike ever - 16.6 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL7. Yes, it’s more aero than the Venge. With its new Speed Sniffer nose cone, you could say, it’s got a nose for victory.



Flo-Vis paint is one of the tools our engineers use to see how the leading edge of the Tarmac SL8 keeps flow attached for minimum drag, while other areas of the frame see less clean air resulting in less opportunity for aero gains.



Goes Like Hell,
Rides Like Heaven

With massive gains in stiffness-to-weight, the Tarmac SL8 takes legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness, and World Championship proven geometry to the next level. The bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the bars, and combines it with a compliant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for race bike comfort. Thanks to our Rider-First Engineering, every rider, regardless of size, gets the same unprecedented ride quality and handling.

Made In Racing

Since day one at Specialized, the rider has been the boss so the best all arounders in the world - Remco Evenepoel, Demi Vollering - the fastest sprinters in the world - Fabio Jakobsen, Tim Merlier - classics stars and climbers alike, all had a hand in developing and refining the Tarmac SL8. We co-created the fastest race bike in the world.
