Nothing is faster than the Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro 12 Speed Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike - thanks to a combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, and ride quality previously thought impossible. After eight generations and over two decades of development, it’s more than the fastest Tarmac ever - it’s the world’s fastest race bike. Your legs up for it?
• AERO IN EVERYTHING: Specialized is putting aero where it matters - the leading edge - not just where it looks good. In the process Specialized has created their most aerodynamic road bike ever. Yes, it’s more aero than the Venge. Clean air is optimized for maximum advantage with the Tarmac’s new nose cone - the Speed Sniffer. By moving the steer tube back - the tube that determines head tube width - the leading edge of the head tube can be much sharper, delivering a much lower drag shape. Utilizing new UCI rules, the Specialized Tarmac SL8 has the narrowest, most aero seat post Specialized has ever made ensuring fast moving, dirty air around the legs can flow back more cleanly. Doesn’t victory smell sweet?
• GOES LIKE HELL, RIDES LIKE HEAVEN: With massive gains in stiffness-to-weight
- an improvement of 33% over the SL7 - the Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro 12 Speed Ultegra Di2 Disc Road Bike takes legendary handling, aggressive responsiveness and World Championship proven geometry to the next level. The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro 12 Speed Disc Road Bike is stiffer at the pedals, more precise at the bars, and combines it with a compliant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for race bike comfort.
Thanks to Specialized's Rider-First Engineering, every rider, regardless of size, gets the same unprecedented ride quality and handling. In the saddle the Specialized Tarmac SL8 delivers 6% more compliance, floating over rough road with a supple feel unique in the high strung world of race bikes. Tarmac’s proven geometry and 32mm tire clearance are identical to the SL7, ensuring easy adaptation and the versatility to run higher volume tires when needed.
• BEYOND GENDER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than
between a male and female. Gender alone doesn’t provide nearly enough data to
specialize and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and outdated.
Every rider can get the next level advantage of Tarmac SL8. It’s time to go Beyond
Gender.
• The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro delivers exceptional performance with a full Shimano Ultegra 8100 series Di2 groupset with power meter, Roval Rapide CL II tubeless ready wheelset, and a Roval Rapide Handlebar with an
SL7 stem. You're ready to race out of the box.
