TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAME

TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAME

The TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAME is the base from which to start building the best bike in terms of speed, lightness and aerodynamics. Aerodynamics, lightness and speed allow you to win competitions. To achieve speed it is necessary to create a combination without compromise of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness and shock absorption.
The Specialized Ride Science Team has verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest frame on any route: 16.6 seconds over 40 km of flat terrain, 128 seconds faster on the Milano-Sanremo course, 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb.

TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAME MAIN FEATURES:

• The front section has been optimized to achieve maximum advantage. The steerer tube is positioned behind the front of the frame’s head tube to offer much lower aerodynamic drag. Thanks to the new UCI rules, for the SL8 it was possible to install a narrower, more aerodynamic seatpost to ensure that the turbulent aria in the leg zone can flow more easily towards the rear of the bicycle.
• 685-gram frame, 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any altra World Tour bicycle*. Maximum lightness possible in the down tube area, the seat tube and the rear of the bicycle. The frame shapes respond so efficiently to stresses that it was possible to reduce the material thickness, eliminating the superfluous.
• The stiffness-to-weight ratio is 33% better than the SL7. The frame is manageable and precise in the most demanding situations and responds immediately and efficiently to pedal inputs. The zones that ensure power transfer and steering precision are stiffer than ever, in sella the Tarmac SL8 is more comfortable, filtering 6% more of the vibrations coming from the terrain and allowing you to attack corners with a feeling of agility and balance unica nel mondo of racing bikes. Same geometry as the SL7 with the same generous spazio for 32 mm tires, so you can use a higher-volume tire when needed.
• The S-Works Tarmac SL8 frame, with 68mm threaded bb, is the perfect starting point to build the bike of your dreams.
