With only 300 worldwide, each individually numbered, they’ll go faster than Demi chasing Tour glory, so don’t wait.
Nothing is faster than the Tarmac SL8 with its perfect 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 eve—it’s the world’s fastest race bike, and now it’s available in a gorgeous, limited color with all-new SRAM RED AXS and a host of unique features.
Aerodynamics or lightweight alone don’t win races—speed is what matters. Delivering that speed requires creating an uncompromising combination of aerodynamics, lightweight, stiffness, and compliance. Through race simulations using real-world data, our Ride Science team knows the Tarmac SL8 is the fastest race bike ever made on the routes that matter—16.6 seconds faster over 40km, 128 seconds faster over Milan San Remo, 20 seconds faster over the legendary Col du Tourmalet climb.
To celebrate the launch of the lightest disc brake group ever, this S-Works Tarmac SL8 comes in a gorgeous, limited Glacial Metallic color with all-new SRAM RED AXS, custom Roval graphics, silver accents, and the new Hammerhead Karoo 3 cycling computer. With only 300 worldwide, each individually numbered, they’ll go faster than Demi chasing Tour glory, so don’t wait.
