Specialized Tarmac SL8 Expert 2024 Promotion

The Tarmac SL8 Expert represents the definitive evolution of the racing road bike. Developed over eight generations and OLTRE twenty years of research, it is now the fastest Tarmac ever created: more aerodynamic, lighter, and with superior ride quality.

Total Aerodynamics
The SL8 concentrates aerodynamic efficiency where it truly matters: at the front. The design of the steerer tube and cockpit significantly reduces air resistance, even surpassing iconic models of the past. The new-generation aero seatpost, made possible by the latest UCI regulations, contributes to a tangible gain in real-world speed.

Lightweight Without Compromise
The FACT 10r Carbon frame, Rider First Engineered™, is born from the experience gained with the Aethos: just 685 grams for the S-Works frame (design reference figure), with an optimized layup that eliminates every superfluous gram without sacrificing stiffness or strength.

Stiffness and Control
With a 33% improvement in the stiffness-to-weight ratio compared to the previous generation, the Tarmac SL8 offers immediate pedaling response, precision in corners, and great stability at high speeds, while maintaining surprising comfort over long distances.

Expert Build – Race-Ready Performance
The Expert version is equipped with:

• SRAM Rival eTap AXS 12-speed groupset

• SRAM Rival crankset with integrated Power Meter

• 10-36t cassette

• Roval C38 tubeless-ready carbon wheels

• S-Works Turbo 700x26 tires

A configuration that guarantees wireless technology, power measurement, and high-performance carbon wheels, while maintaining an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
