SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT BIKE

SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT BIKE

The SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT BIKE is fast, aerodynamic and lightweight, with a ride quality never before achieved. Aerodynamics, lightness and speed allow you to win competitions. To achieve speed, it is necessary to create a no-compromise combination of aerodynamics, lightness, stiffness and shock absorption.
The Specialized Ride Science Team has verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest frame on any course: 16.6 seconds over 40 km of flat terrain, 128 seconds faster on the Milano-Sanremo course, 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb.
The bike is equipped with SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset with power meter, C38 tubeless ready carbon wheels, an SL7 stem with Specialized Expert alloy handlebar.

SPECIALIZED TARMAC SL8 EXPERT BIKE MAIN FEATURES:

• The front section has been optimized to obtain maximum advantage. The steerer tube is positioned behind the front part of the frame’s head tube to offer much lower aerodynamic drag. Thanks to the new UCI regulations, it was possible to mount a narrower and more aerodynamic seatpost on the SL8 to ensure that the turbulent air in the leg area can flow more easily towards the rear of the bicycle.
• 685-gram frame, 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other World Tour* bicycle. Maximum possible lightness in the area of the down tube, seat tube and rear part 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 agile and precise in the most demanding situations and responds in an immediate and efficient way to pedal input. 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. Same geometry as the SL7 with the same generous tire clearance for 32 mm, so you can use higher-volume tires when necessary.
• The bike is equipped with SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset with power meter, C38 tubeless ready carbon wheels, an SL7 stem with Specialized Expert alloy handlebar.
