Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8, no bicycle is as fast as the Tarmac SL8 thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightness and driving quality previously considered impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it is not just 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 obtain this speed it is necessary to create a combination without compromise of aerodynamics, lightness, rigidity and absorption of stresses. Thanks to complex simulations that use real data, the Specialized Ride Science Team has verified that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest racing bike on any route: - 16.6 seconds on 40 km of plain, 128 seconds faster on the Milan route -Ar will, 20 seconds faster on the Tourmalet climb.
