SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT DI2 BIKE
No bicycle is as fast as the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightness, and ride quality previously considered impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac ever: it is the fastest racing bike in the world. Are your legs ready?
Aerodynamics or lightness alone do not win races: what matters is speed. To achieve this speed it is necessary to create a no-compromise combination of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness, and shock absorption. Thanks to complex simulations using real data, our Ride Science Team has verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike on any course: - 16.6 seconds over 40 km on the flat, 128 seconds faster on the Milano-Sanremo route, 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb.
SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT DI2 BIKE KEY FEATURES:
- AERODYNAMICS: We use aerodynamics where it is most needed, and in the process we have created our fastest road bike ever - yes, more aerodynamic even than the Venge. The front end has been optimized to obtain maximum advantage. The fork steerer is positioned further back with respect to the front part of the frame’s head tube to offer much lower aerodynamic drag. Thanks to the new UCI rules, for the SL8 we were able to use the narrowest and most aerodynamic seatpost we have ever made, to ensure that the turbulent air in the leg area can flow more easily towards the rear of the bicycle.
- LIGHTNESS: To create the Tarmac SL8 and make the most aerodynamic bicycle while respecting the minimum weight requirements imposed by the UCI, we were inspired by what we learned with the Aethos. The team created a 685-gram frame, 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other World Tour bicycle*. By focusing on maximum possible lightness in the down tube, seat tube, and rear of the bicycle, we applied the lessons learned in the Aethos project. The frame shapes respond so efficiently to stresses that it was possible to reduce material thickness, eliminating the superfluous. *Except for that time when Kasper Asgreen raced with our 585-gram Aethos frame during a Tour stage.
- RIDE QUALITY: The stiffness-to-weight ratio of the Tarmac SL8 is 33% better than that of the SL7. The Tarmac SL8 sets a new benchmark for handling: it is precise in the most demanding situations and responds immediately and efficiently to pedal inputs. While the areas that ensure power transfer and steering precision are stiffer than ever, in the saddle the Tarmac SL8 is more comfortable, filtering 6% more of the vibrations coming from the ground and allowing you to attack corners with a feeling of agility and balance that is unique in the world of racing bikes. The new Tarmac SL8 maintains the proven geometry of the SL7 model, with the same generous 32 mm tire clearance, so you can use a higher-volume tire when necessary.
- BEYOND GENDER DIFFERENCES: In reality there can be many more differences between two male cyclists than between a man and a woman. We design based on the individual and our philosophy is simple: Do not create differences where there are none. Every cyclist, whether man or woman, can benefit from the advantages of the Tarmac SL8. It’s time to go beyond.
The Tarmac SL8 Expert Di2 is equipped with the Ultegra Di2 groupset, C38 tubeless-ready carbon wheels, SL7 stem with Specialized Expert Shallow drop handlebar.
