Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset

Unmatched speed and control with the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset for ultimate racing performance

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"I´ve never felt a bike respond this quickly and smoothly. The Tarmac SL8 is the definition of precision-it´s fast, light, and still comfortable enough to push through long rides or steep climbs. The aerodynamic frame design truly makes a difference in maintaining high speeds, and the lightweight carbon keeps it nimble for sharp turns and ascents."

We designed the S-Works Tarmac SL8 Frameset for those who demand nothing but the best from their ride. Drawing on decades of engineering and racing pedigree, this frame blends cutting-edge aerodynamics, feather-light carbon construction, and a ride quality that feels almost intuitive. Whether conquering a summit, sprinting to the finish line, or outpacing the pack, this is your tool to elevate performance.

With an optimized nose cone and Speed Sniffer design, the SL8 minimizes drag without sacrificing stiffness, ensuring every watt of power translates into speed. The 685-gram frame-15% lighter than its predecessor-proves that ultralight and ultra-aero can coexist beautifully. Combined with Rider-First Engineering, every rider experiences a harmonious balance of precision and compliance.

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.
