TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAMESET

TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAMESET

The TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAMESET is the perfect base from which to build the best bike in terms of speed, low weight and aerodynamics. Aerodynamics, low weight and speed are what win races. Achieving speed takes an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, low weight, stiffness and compliance.
Specialized’s Ride Science Team verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest frame on any course: 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km on the flat, 128 seconds faster on the Milan–San Remo course and 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb.

TARMAC S-WORKS SL8 FRAMESET KEY FEATURES:

• The front end has been optimised for maximum advantage. The fork steerer sits behind the leading edge of the head tube, significantly reducing drag. Thanks to the new UCI rules, the SL8 could be fitted with a narrower, more aerodynamic seatpost, so that the turbulent air around the legs flows more easily towards the back of the bike.
• 685-gram frame, 15% lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and lighter than any other World Tour bike*. Maximum weight saving in the down tube, seat tube and rear end. The frame shapes handle loads so efficiently that material thickness could be reduced, eliminating everything superfluous.
• The stiffness-to-weight ratio is 33% better than the SL7’s. The frame is agile and precise in the most demanding situations and responds instantly and efficiently to every pedal stroke. The areas responsible for power transfer and steering precision are stiffer than ever, yet in the saddle the Tarmac SL8 is more comfortable, filtering out 6% more road vibration and letting you attack corners with a feeling of agility and balance unique among road bikes. Same geometry as the SL7, with the same generous 32 mm tyre clearance, so you can run a higher-volume tyre when needed.
• The S-Works Tarmac SL8 frameset, with its 68 mm threaded bottom bracket, is the perfect starting point for building the bike of your dreams.
