Product Details
The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro Ultegra Di2 is a revolutionary race bike, merging aerodynamics, lightweight design, and unparalleled ride quality. After eight generations of innovation, it stands as the world’s fastest race bike, delivering unmatched speed with a blend of cutting-edge features. Designed through extensive race simulations, the Tarmac SL8 is proven to be 16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds quicker over Milan-San Remo, and 20 seconds swifter on the iconic Tourmalet climb.
Aerodynamics are at the core of the Tarmac SL8’s design. It surpasses even the Venge in aerodynamic efficiency, with advancements such as the Speed Sniffer nose cone and a sharper head tube shape. The bike’s narrowest seat post, enabled by new UCI rules, minimizes drag and enhances airflow around the rider, ensuring every advantage in the quest for victory.
Weighing in at a remarkable 685 grams, the Tarmac SL8 frame is 15% lighter than its predecessor, the SL7, and stands among the lightest in the World Tour. This reduction in weight is achieved through learnings from the Aethos, with a design that prioritizes efficient load distribution and eliminates unnecessary stiffness layers.
The bike excels in stiffness-to-weight ratio, boasting a 33% improvement over the SL7. This translates into enhanced responsiveness and handling, while maintaining a comfortable ride with 6% more compliance. Rider-First Engineering ensures that every rider, regardless of size, benefits from exceptional handling and comfort. The Tarmac SL8 retains the proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance of the SL7, offering versatility for various riding conditions. Every ride on the Tarmac SL8 Pro promises a blend of speed, comfort, and advanced technology.
Equipped with a full Shimano Ultegra 8100 series Di2 groupset, a power meter, and Roval Rapide CL II wheels, the Tarmac SL8 Pro is race-ready from the start. This bike is designed to go beyond traditional categories, offering cutting-edge performance for all riders.
