There is nothing faster than the Tarmac SL8. The reason? The combination we have achieved between aerodynamics, lightness and a driving quality that until recently seemed impossible. Eight generations later and after more than two decades of development, it is not only the fastest Tarmac in history: it is also the fastest racing bike in the world.<\/p>\n
Competitions are not won only by aerodynamics or lightness: the important thing is speed. And to achieve it, we must create an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightness, rigidity and comfort. Our Ride Science team has simulated races with real data and found that the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest road bike ever made on the biggest routes: 16.6 seconds faster over 40 km, 128 seconds faster on the Milan San Remo and 20 seconds faster on the legendary Tourmalet climb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The engineering-obsessed Germans at Tour Magazine declared the Tarmac SL8 ‘the best road bike in the world’. Achieving the previously unimaginable rating of ‘1.3’* – the highest score ever achieved on Tour – the Tarmac SL8 outperforms all competitors. Or, as these serious data-driven journalists put it, ‘No other racing bike works better as a complete package.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8296,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bikepoint_action_mode":"purchase_enquiry","_bikepoint_commerce_state":"available","_bikepoint_condition":"","_bikepoint_original_url":"","_bikepoint_allow_enquiry_when_unavailable":"no"},"product_brand":[183],"product_cat":[1813,324],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8295","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-specialized","product_cat-new-bikes","product_cat-road","pa_assistance-non-electric","pa_bike-status-new","pa_brand-specialized","pa_commercial-collection-new-arrival","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
