Specialized Tarmac Sl8 Expert: Speed and aerodynamics

The Tarmac SL8 redefines speed in cycling, fusing aerodynamics, lightness and ride quality into one package. With eight generations and more than two decades of evolution, this bike is the fastest we've ever created. It's not just the fastest Tarmac, it's the fastest racing bike in the world.
The Tarmac SL8 is the result of an uncompromising approach to aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness and comfort. Our Ride Science team has used race simulations with real data to prove that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike on crucial routes, with remarkable differences: 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster at Milan-San Remo, 20 seconds faster on the iconic Tourmalet climb.
