Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD Frameset

The Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD Frameset is the world's fastest race bike, combining aerodynamics, lightweight design, and unmatched ride quality—delivering speed previously thought impossible. 

Beyond its technical prowess, the S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD carries a legacy of victory. This is the same frameset that Demi Vollering rode to a commanding win at the eleventh edition of Strade Bianche Women Elite Crédit Agricole, proving its dominance on some of the toughest race courses in the world. Whether you're chasing podiums or personal bests, the SL8 LTD delivers a level of performance that was once thought impossible.

After eight generations and two decades of development, the Tarmac SL8 is more than just the fastest Tarmac ever—it's the fastest bike ever made, beating 40km by 16.6 seconds, Milan-San Remo by 128 seconds, and the Tourmalet climb by 20 seconds. Ready to take on the challenge?

Speed is what wins races, and the Tarmac SL8 brings it with the perfect combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and compliance. Its advanced aerodynamics include features like the Speed Sniffer nose cone, which optimizes clean air, and the narrowest seat post ever made, reducing drag and improving overall performance. This design results in a faster, more efficient ride, outperforming the Venge and other competitors.

With a frame weight of 685 grams, the Tarmac SL8 is 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7, setting a new standard for lightness and speed on the World Tour. The frame is engineered to efficiently carry load, eliminating the need for extra stiffness layers, making it the lightest and fastest choice for the most demanding cyclists.

Thanks to a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight, the Tarmac SL8 offers superior handling and aggressive responsiveness, all while providing 6% more compliance in the saddle for unmatched comfort. Whether you're a competitive racer or an enthusiast tackling tough roads, this bike delivers legendary geometry and ride quality for riders of all sizes.
