Specialized Tarmac SL8 Frameset

Why We Like The Specialized Tarmac SL8 Frameset

Building our dream setup starts with the Specialized Tarmac SL8 Frameset, an aerodynamic machine with an incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio, optimal compliance in the saddle, and a race-proven geometry. The new nose cone, known as the Speed Sniffer, easily cuts through the air, while the narrow seat post keeps air moving around the legs. Specialized built this frame with a 33% improvement in stiffness-to-weight compared to the SL7, improving responsiveness and handling as we speed down the road with full confidence.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
