Specialized TARMAC SL8 PRO – SRAM Force eTap AXS – Carbon Roadbike – 2024 – satin carbon / metallic white silver

Due to the tight supply situation for individual components, bikes may sometimes be delivered with deviating equipment. However, any alternative components used will be of a corresponding quality to that of the original components.

Unbeatably fast!

The advanced aerodynamics and low weight of the Specialized Tarmac SL8 result in a ride quality that seems unattainable. After eight generations and more than twenty years of development, it’s not just the fastest Tarmac ever – it’s one of the fastest road bikes in the world.

Features of the Specialized TARMAC SL8 PRO

• FACT 10r carbon frame
• FACT 10r carbon fork
• Roval Rapide CL II carbon wheelset
• SRAM Force eTAP AXS 2×12-speed drivetrain
• S-Works carbon seatpost
• SRAM Force DUB crank with power meter

Details of the Specialized TARMAC SL8 PRO

Aero everywhere

When it comes to aerodynamics, it’s the surfaces that really count, not where it looks best. This philosophy was followed during development. The newly designed head tube of the Tarmac SL8 maintains the air flow better, as the surface at the front is more tapered. With the Speed Sniffer, the slimmer cross-section of the head tube results in significantly less air resistance. In addition, the slimmest and most aerodynamic Specialized seatpost ever was developed for the Tarmac SL8 in order to comply with the new UCI regulations. The bike is designed to win.

Minimal weight

The Tarmac SL8 uses knowledge gained from the development of the Aethos and easily reaches the UCI weight limit, despite a full aero setup. The team has developed an incredible frame that weighs just 685 grams – 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7. Thanks to the new technical possibilities, the weight of the down tube, seat tube and rear triangle has been optimized, as the new shape of the frame distributes the load so efficiently that additional carbon layers are no longer necessary for more stiffness.

Moves forward

By significantly improving the stiffness-to-weight ratio by 33%, the Tarmac SL8 reaches a new level in terms of legendary handling, aggressive response and geometry. The bike is stiffer at the bottom bracket, more precise at the handlebars and more comfortable in the saddle, setting new standards for road bike performance and comfort.
