Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD 2025 – Sram Red AXS

https://youtu.be/gDQnoeiEtZ8 AERO IN EVERYTHING: We’re investing in aerodynamics where it’s needed most, on the leading edge, not just where it looks good. In the process we have created our most aerodynamic road bike.
Yes, it’s more aerodynamic than the Venge.
Clean air is optimised for maximum advantage with the Tarmac’s new front cone: the Speed Snilfer.
By moving the head tube back – the tube that determines the width of the head tube – the leading edge of the head tube can be much sharper, offering a much lower form of aerodynamic drag.
Taking advantage of new UCI regulations, the Tarmac SLB has the narrowest and most aerodynamic seatpost we’ve ever made, ensuring that polluted air circulating quickly around the legs can flow backwards cleaner.
Doesn’t victory smell sweet? MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM AERODYNAMICS: The Tarmac SL8 drew on the expertise of the Aethos to be easily built with minimal UCI and a full aerodynamic setup.
The team has created a mind-blowing 685-gram frame, a 1596 lighter than the Tarmac SL7 and any other bike in the World Tour*.
With the ability to make lightness a top priority on the down tube, the seat tube and the rear of the bike, the lessons of Aethos were applied.
The shape of the frame transports the load so efficiently that the extra layers of carbon stiffness are redundant.
*Unless, of course, you count the time Kasper Asgreen raced with our 585-gram Aethos frame during a stage of the Tour. DEVILISH RHYTHM, HEAVENLY DRIVING: With a huge increase in stiffness-to-weight ratio – a 33% improvement over the SL7 – the Tarmac SL8 carries legendary drivability.
aggressive response and World Championship-proven geometry to the next level.
The bike is stiffer on the pedals.
more precise on the handlebars, and combines it with a pleasant ride in the saddle that sets a new benchmark for racing bike comfort.
Thanks to our Rider-First engineering, all riders.
Regardless of their size, they get the same unprecedented ride quality.
In the saddle, the Tarmac SL8 offers 69% more comfort, floating on the road in poor condition with a feeling of comfort unique in the world of racing bikes.
The Tarmac’s proven geometry and wheel arch of up to 32mm are identical to those of the SL7, ensuring easy adaptation and the versatility to mount larger volume tires when needed. BEYOND GENDER: There can be more difference between two male cyclists than between a man and a woman.
Gender alone doesn’t provide enough data to specialise and that means creating male or female bikes is arbitrary and obsolete.
All riders can get the next level benefits of the Tarmac SL8.
It’s time to go beyond gender.
• The S-Works Tarmac SL8 is equipped with only the best components. A complete SRAM RED AXS groupset with power meter – the lightest electronic groupset ever – and tubeless-ready Roval Rapide CLX Il wheels are the perfect complement to the world’s fastest frame.
All S-Works Tarmac SLB models are delivered with a Roval Rapide cockpit to save weight and get the cockpit as fast as possible.
