BICYCLE SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 PRO SRAM FORCE ETAP AXS 2025

BICYCLE SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 PRO SRAM FORCE ETAP AXS 2025

The Tarmac SL8 is designed to deliver maximum speed through a perfect blend of aerodynamics, lightness, and ride quality.

Aerodynamics

The SL8 is even more aerodynamic than the Venge. The fork steerer is set back to reduce drag, and the saddle is the most aerodynamic ever made, improving airflow around the legs.

Lightweight

The frame weighs only 685g, 15% lighter than the previous model and the lightest in the World Tour. The construction is optimized to reduce superfluous material without compromising strength.

Ride Quality

The stiffness-to-weight ratio is improved by 33%, ensuring responsiveness and precision without sacrificing comfort. The Tarmac SL8 filters 6% more of vibrations than the SL7, maintaining the proven geometry and supporting tires up to 32mm.

Inclusivity

Designed without gender distinctions, it adapts to any rider to maximize performance.
