Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert Road Bike | SRAM Rival eTap AXS | Gloss Red Tint Over Silver Dust - Silver Dust

Specialized Tarmac SL8 Comp – the fastest race bike in the world

Tarmac SL8 Comp is the fastest race bike on the planet – an exceptional blend of aerodynamics, low weight, stiffness, and ride comfort. Eight generations and over 20 years of development have made it not just the fastest Tarmac ever, but the fastest race bike overall. With a SRAM Rival AXS 2x12 electronic groupset, DT Swiss DT R470 wheels, an integrated Tarmac stem, and Specialized Shallow Drop handlebars, this model delivers unbeatable value.

Key Features:

Maximum aerodynamic efficiency: the new “Speed Sniffer” front profile, narrow aero seatpost, and advanced tube shaping drastically reduce drag. SL8 is even more aerodynamic than the Venge.
Ultra-lightweight frame: engineered using insights from Aethos, the 685 g frame (S-Works) is 15% lighter than the SL7 – lighter than any other World Tour bike.
Powerful and comfortable: 33% improved stiffness-to-weight ratio and 6% more saddle comfort provide a balance of speed and smoothness even on rough roads.
Perfect geometry for all riders: Rider-First Engineering ensures consistent handling across all frame sizes, while 32 mm tire clearance adds extra versatility.
Neutral design: gender-neutral performance – built for every athlete based on biomechanical data, not stereotypes.
