Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 – Shimano Dura-Ace Di2: The Fastest Bike in the World

It's not just a bike, it's the zenith of cycling engineering. The S-Works Tarmac SL8 it was created to eliminate any compromise between aerodynamics, lightness and driving quality. If LThe goal is pure speed, there is nothing superior.

The Maximum of Technology S-Works

• The Lightest Frame on the World Tour: Thanks to carbon FACT 12r, the pinnacle of Specialized production, the frame of S-Works SL8 weighs only 685 grams. It's 15% lighter than the SL7, allowing you to fly uphill with a responsiveness you've never experienced before.

• "Speed Sniffer" aerodynamics: The new front section moves the head tube rearward to minimize drag. The result? It's the most aerodynamic bike Specialized has ever made, even more than the Venge, saving you money 16.6 seconds over 40 km.

• Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed: The electronic group chosen by the samples. Lightweight, quick to shift and equipped with a Power Meter (power meter) integrated on both sides as standard, for professional-level data analysis.

• Total Integration with Roval: The bike is equipped with the cockpit Roval Rapide (integrated handlebar) and wheels Roval Rapide CLX II. This integrated system reduces weight and dramatically improves crosswind stability, turning every watt into propulsion.

Why is it the "One Bike to Rule Them All"?

Specialized has applied the knowledge acquired with the Aethos project to the SL8, obtaining a stiffness-to-weight ratio better than 33% compared to the previous generation. It is a stiff bike for sprinting, but surprisingly fluid on rough edges, guaranteeing comfort that allows you to maintain the aerodynamic position for longer.
