Description

Product code: 930903

The Tarmac SL8 redefines race bike performance by delivering the fastest combination of aerodynamics, lightweight design, and ride quality ever achieved. After over two decades of development, it’s not just the quickest Tarmac to date—it’s the world’s fastest race bike, proven through real-world race simulations on the routes that matter most.

By blending cutting-edge aero shaping, a dramatically lighter frame, and class-leading stiffness-to-weight, the Tarmac SL8 delivers explosive acceleration, precise handling, and surprising compliance. Rider-First Engineering ensures every size experiences the same elite ride quality, while modern tire clearance and race-proven geometry make it as versatile as it is devastatingly fast.
